No birds or herps, (ugh) but we have been permitted the honor of having two cats live with us...
Both have been "gracing us with their presence" for 11 years:
Siamese/himalayan mix "Taz"
(Mr. Pissed off all the time)
My "baby" Tiny.
Got her at 2 days old when her momma (feral cat) was run over by a car. I bottle-fed her, and ever since, I'm her momma...she follows me everywhere...even into the terlet...
and she loves coffee..."good to the last drop"
