Bird (cockatiel), female - “Zeus” (we thought she was a male - had very bright head coloring and no barring on the tail; head feathers eventually faded, and the kicker was when ‘he’ laid an egg).
I don’t know if a horse can be called a “pet” since he doesn’t live with me (can’t climb the stairs to the apartment), but I have owned Bob aka The Wonder Pony for almost 15 years. He’s a 17 year old appendix Quarter Horse (half QH, half TB). I love him more than anything in the world.
Cat1: Seagram–flame point white, longhaired blue-eyed mutt. I should have named her antigone since she’s the farm-made product of Dad + Dad’s Mom = Psycho Kitties!
Cat2: Bailey–This is the name she came with, but I call her F. Lee Bailey–Flea Bailey. I also call her lardo, tub-o-guts and other unflattering names…she’s a grey tabby. I think all gray tabbies are born to be playful, talkative creatures…
Dog: Dixie Daisy Duke Dawg, white-yellow lab 6 months. Sweetest dog ever!
Then there’s the stray kitty under the garden shed, I think she’s knocked up and I’m not sure what to do with her–she won’t let me anywhere near her, but cries daily for her food which I willingly give…Sometimes I call her Moxie
Yeah, I know. Isn’t she just precious. We’re completely smitten with her, and so is the entire neighborhood.
As for the blowing her her face, I’m not sure she necessarily dislikes it. She does the air biting thing, followed by a barking while wagging her tail.
Marley is about eight years old. He was a stray who decided to live under my car until i took him in. He’s not the smartest cat, but very loveable and a huge lapcat, when he wants to be. Named for Bob Marley.
Monkey just turned two. She’s a bit skittery but loves attention. She’ll jump on a stranger for attention, but she’s not the type of cat to sleep on your lap. As a kitten she used to crawl to the top of this dome-shaped wicker entertainment center I had to nap. She would crawl down the rods on the side paw over paw. To me, she looked like a monkey crawling down a palm tree. Hence the name.
