Should I get a bunny or a bird

how are you going to have time to train the cat/s to walk on leash if you get more animals?

work with the pets you have.

My dad had 9 dogs 20 cats 3 birds 5 hamsters 2 rabbits and a lizard and he was the only person that took care of them and trained them to do tricks

So, you want to be your dad? No, but you admire his interests and want to emulate them? But you do like his interests. What if you suddenly get other interests?

I was interested in a lot of what my dad was interested in, and still am a million years later, but you are not him.

I gather you have the family money to do all this, but your craving for lots of animals is more about you than the animals. Step back and think about all this.

that is more poop than I would ever want to clean up

I don't believe in locking up animals. If you are going to have a pet, then it should be exactly that, a pet. Having too many pets, means the favourite or most well trained is going to get the most attention, then the rest miss out.

I trained my cat to "sit".. Still working on training him to stop friggen stealing any food he can get his hands on, even though he's fed well and wormed.

Do you worm your cats, ensure they don't have fleas?

Anyways. A rabbit can be trained as well, to use a kitty litter tray and live only caged at night, to sleep if you have an enclosed area, but they too need, worming, flea treatments and (not from the supermarket), from a vet. They can pretty well be close to what a cat is like, minus the load meows when they want something but it takes time to build a bond and trust with a Rabbit, mine lets me put him on his back and tickle his belly and he thumps in the morning suggesting I race over and let him out his 2 storey cage and he throws toilet rolls around when he is "suggesting" he wants to play, and then he eats some of my plants grrrr, so I try to get parsley, spinach, or a couple grapes over to him so he gets full and leaves them well alone.

I've had birds too, off course I hate them being caged. It's a pain, even with timber flooring to let them fly around... But, they too love mirrors, doing tricks and are smart, they will pretend they can't fly and so you take them outside to half fly around and play and they nick off, sheez...

I think animals need love and alot of attention, too many and all you are doing is going aweee that's cute, I want another pet...

I'd say neither unless you can spend alot of time with all of them, yet we can't do that, if in school or working.. One or two we can.

Quote - I don't believe in locking up animals.

That's nice, and yes I'm being sarcastic.

I love dogs trotting along on their own.

Kelly followed a jogger from in front of our house to Manhattan Beach, from Venice. He had to cross a lot of streets to do that. The jogger he followed called us. Baaaaaaaaad Setter.

That was a long way. After he came back he was mighty tired.


Please, read more before you accumulate more animals. I don't care how many animals your father understands, I care what you might have some control of and you are just starting to learn.

Kelly was your dog?

See, this is what I told my Mother later in life at school, WHY DID YOU CALL ME THAT

My ex found this starving irish setter in a lumber yard far away and brought him home - after talking with the yard people - in his truck so we could find him a home.

Find him a home, you're kidding.

Kelly, we both loved him. Ex trained him in the school yard across the street (he was about a year old then)

That happened to me with a stray cat, David is allergic to long hair, you know the cat But, yeah, so find him a home? No way, I'm keeping Bigsy

I wonder often, the strays, if they actually find us Osso

Well that dog was maybe fifteen miles away. I'll point to my ex for getting a clue that there was a starving dog in the lumber yard. He just mistook what I might think about finding him a home.

Doesn't matter you know how to save and how to love an animal.

So many "people" no matter what age, just go aweee and take it on and neglect.. Wanting another and another I mean lets face it, they are cute, or they reach out and make us see their pain.........

Good for you Osso.
