We have 3 cats. Gracie, Turbo and Ivar. Ivar is a registered Norwegian Forest cat, so his full name is Ivar Thunder Horse. He's huge, almost 20lbs, and he's the most chill cat ever.
Ginger cat is Tarfu the Cuddling Conqueror. The calico fatty cat is the Brat Princess, Bohica. And the black blur kitty is Yorkels the Razorblade Suitcase

We have a 9 year old Beagle/Lab mix named Denali that we have had since she was 8 weeks old and a 9 year old (we think) black and white cat named Huey that our friend rescued out of a tree when he was a kitten. They like to sleep lol
I've got a 9 or 10 year old American shorthair (I think lol) cat named Sir John J.C. Abbott. He's blonde and white. We usually call him Abby or Mr. kitty.
Fun fact about my cat, when he's scratching on the wall and I'm yelling at him to stop (when I can't physically do anything)... The only thing I can say that makes him stop is "stop it or I'll cut you!". I can literally say anything else, but the only time he stops is when I say that. I obviously would never even seriously consider doing such a terrible thing, but it makes me laugh that hes never called my bluff
@EM0704 Your kitty is pretty! We have a rescue kitty named Minko, she is 4 and a sassy little pain in the butt, but I love her. We rescued her at 4 months old. We also have a rescued pitbull we got when she was 9 weeks old name Milly. She just turned 1 year old. (Her mom was found very pregnant roaming the streets in Texas. They transfered her to a CO shelter and she gave birth 2 days later.) On another note the dog did not destroy the chair on her own, it has been through another dog and 2 cats. We keep it as our "pet" chair.
We have two cats - one is a rescue and one is a kitten from a litter my friend's cat had. Our boy cat is named Peeta (from the Hunger Games) and he's a big ole momma's boy, the sweetest cat that ever was. He is SO good with our girls and so patient, even when they torment him. Our girl cat is called Kitty Elsa (my then 2yo named her - Frozen obsession). She's okay, I guess. I'm not as bonded to her.
We also have a dog - a Yorkshire terrier named Dylan. He's a big ole sweetie too and very good with our girls. I worried a small dog would be protective and nippy but he's really the best little dog ever.
We have a dobie named Ripley. She is almost 4 and adores ds. This is him trying to tell her what to do. He takes that job seriously. Also, excuse the mess of toys, he thought she might want to play, but decided at the last minute not to share.
My dogs have very unique names, so much so that I feel like putting it out here is almost too identifying. I can’t resist another picture though! They’re named after breweries, and they’re the best dogs we could have asked for.
