Now I only have a dog and a cat.

But throughout the past ten years my family has had:
2 dogs
3 fish
2 cats and tamed around 5 or 6 feral kittens for people
30-40 goats, The most we had at one time was 17, but on average we had around 4 or 5, but they had kids every spring that we then sold as pets.
10 chickens
2 oxen
and a skunk that moved under the barn and sometimes he casually walked out of the barn as I entered it.

I don't own my own pets, but I live with a family that has three dogs, two cats, and a few snakes. The snakes are my favorite because they mind their own business and don't make noise or try to harass me like the dogs and cats do. :P Actually, one of the cats is fairly well-mannered too, but the rest of the animals tend to drive me nuts.

I like pets, but usually only if they're at someone else's house. That is to say I like visiting them rather than owning or taking care of them.

I don't, currently, have a pet, but I've had cats all of my life. I've also had a ferret, a hamster, fish, and a guinea pig. My sister had a bird (I love all of God's creatures, but I CANNOT STAND being around birds----I can't stand the noise----it almost makes me have a seizure. I throw soft stuff at my window, almost every day, to stop that squawking, and shoo them away.), and an alligator.

I don't own any pets but I have a cat that seems to enjoy my company enough to hang around. She's a good listener :)

Tried dogs in the past but they were too dependent upon me, and I hate seeing animals in cages, so no birds (except in the garden).

I have a 12-year-old Sheltie. Used to have 2 cats (a black one and a furry orange one.) Cat A died in 2004 and Cat B died in 2009-ish (maybe?)

There's no option for ferrets. :(

I "kind of" have a cat and a dog as well, but they live with my parents.

A couple rescue cats, orange tabbies. They add a lot to life. One has a physical disability and one a psych issue or two - but hey, it ain't like I myself don't have both! :lol:
