Don't need to use names (but feel free to also tell us your first primary school and Mum's maiden name) but what animals do boarders have at home?

Two greyhounds at Casa PJ (one named Jabo). They're bloody great.

Maureen is a legend

We have a rescue cat.

Spent the first year of her life locked in a cage with another cat. When she was rescued, the RSPCA found the other cat had died, and our cat was only just clinging on to life. They took a year to rehabilitate her and restore her health, before she came to live with us.

She now rewards our charity by sitting indoors all day, while howling at me while I'm trying to work and insisting on jumping up onto my lap or desk whenever I go onto a video call.

5 rescue cats. Ungrateful buggers they are too.

Tia (L) and Jabo (R) and the sofa we used to sit on.

A black pu55y cat, the one in my avatar. nicknamed little panther, because he looks like one

Aspen and Linden, who we acquired as kittens from an animal rescue centre

This is the content we need.

We have a cat that we got as a rescue about nine years ago. He's cool.

Got one of those as well. We did have his brother as well but unfortunately had a heart problem and copped it on Boxing day 2020. Also now have a 4 month old PURE standard poodle, not one of these cross missmatches. Also more often than not a Poochon, our daughters.

We got this cute little pup as a rescue 2 1/2 years back but he's just kept on growing. He's going to have to go back if he doesn't stop. He's also got a really bad attitude, proper arrogant c**t.

That’s quite a sizeable snout he’s growing there, so at least he’s making an effort to fit in

I think pets should be phased out by 2042. They are a big drain on the planers resources.

I have 6 rooks, 6 crows, 8 Magpies, a hellpack of Starlings, some Blackbirdd and the odd brave Robin that I feed regularly in my back garden. They're pets but they are free.

I love magpies, probably my favourite animals after greyhounds.

I would like to do that thing where you raise a chick and it then follows you around and sits on your shoulder like a parrot, any bird would suffice.

There's a great video I saw of someone who raised a magpie from a chick after finding it in the street (assume it'd fallen out of the nest) and it ended up living with them. It did exactly that, thought the human was it's parent and just wouldn't leave them alone, absolute life goal.

I enjoy watching the little bastards in the garden. I've seen them deliberately taunting my cat for what looked like was just for fun. I've also had to run out and chase them away from trying to murder other birds.

We now have a flock of parakeets that have muscled into the magpies Mmanor, and they're taking proper liberties.

The Australian ones are great too, even though they're not real magpies. FiL used to feed them cheese and they'd tap on the window if they saw him inside or if he was late.
