We have 2 cats. Elvis is the black and white one. He’s about 8 years old and is kind of an ass. Tonks is our new kitty and she keeps Elvis on his toes lol.
These are my kitties warming themselves by the portable heater. The tabby is Monkee, she's my needy, always wants attention cat. The grey and white one is Esta, she's my scaredy cat who is usually hiding somewhere.
@kbrown2385 thanks! She really is a pretty cat and weirdly soft lol. She is just hard to take pictures of because of her markings. They usually come out weird
@blackcat01 I don't think he is opposed as much as has other priorities but I want him to be in board since he works at home so would be around them all the time. We can't agree on a breed either because he doesn't take it seriously.... I'm working on it. The LASIK conversation was a five year wear down so I'm pro at this.
He says he wants a kid before a dog.... I think they would be great together. I think he is worried about time and training 😬
@biolprof The good news is that once your baby is a little older, he/she may help by also asking for a dog. My husband wasn’t big on getting a cat, but as soon as my daughter wanted one, he caved so fast. But good look, I’m sure you’ll get your dog soon enough! And yes, cats are so weird with certain things, I’ve never seen him go so crazy about anything until I brought a pineapple home!
We dont have any pets & dont have a lifestyle that I feel would be fair to an animal (both work longish hours & are away most weekends) but my parents have 2 dogs which dd considers to be “hers”
@Xstatic3333 Nice tanks! I have one tank of Malawi cichlids and another with kribensis.
@biolprof Tell DH that kids and pets just go together!
In addition to the fish, I have a love bug pit-pointer mix, a doofus orange cat, and an elderly sweet kitty. Here are the old kitty (Jezebel) and the pup (Roxie):
My daughter adores them all. Here she is with our old Rottie, who we lost last fall. I still miss him like crazy.
Oooooh @EmilyE13 that's awesome! Such beautiful fish! I was about to go off the aquarium deep end before I got pregnant again and forced myself to slow down. Gotta focus on getting these two tanks through pregnancy and pp nice and healthy before I add any more.
