Who here DOES NOT have a pet?
 

I dont have anything and think its about time?

I don't know. I never know what I'm missing until I have one.

Right now im fully content not having one.

Who here has no pets?

I don't, but it's not by choice. My landlord say no go on the pets, so I have to wait until early next year. Probably end up with a couple dogs.

I don´t but I wish a kittie

I have couple rats but it's not by choice

I don't and I am happy with it that way. I probably do have to time to take a dog for a walk, but I am selfish and don't want to spend all of my free time taking a dog out.

Currently, I don't.

My roommate of 9 years and I went our separate directions last year (we decided it was best, since we'd be common-law married in some states), and as he remained in the apartment, the cats stayed with him.

Since then - not that I don't miss them (I still visit them when my bro and I hang out) - I've kinda enjoyed the break from changing kitty litter and such.

First year in my life that I haven't had a pet, I think... I'm sure I'll get one sooner or later.

They say having a pet increases your life expectancy.

are fishes a pets? if yeah i have, but i cant hug with them you know ... ;)

I dont, my gf has a cat and its my arch enemy

nothing like it being 1228 (yes now am) and having your cats show you love. We all love the bumps on the board, so why not the little homies saying, IM HERE WITH YOU

I don't. I'm barely ready for the responsibility of furniture, not to mention a pet.

I used to but not any more.

no kids but I have my dogs

negative on the pet scale
pets take up way too much time
you gotta be pretty bored with yourself to buy a dog

Thats what Im thinking too.

Nope never have besides the family pets when i was living with my parents.

I've never NOT had a pet. My parents had a weenier dog when I was born. They said we had it all figured out: If I didn't want to eat something I'd drop it on the floor and he'd eat it. And if I was hungry, there was a bowl full of food on the floor just waiting for me ;)

I want dog but I can't have since I'm renting

Fuck pets. Another unnecessary person to take care of.

I dont. Pretty much allergic to everything.

You need a penthouse pet Derek :1orglaugh

I dont have any pets. Atleast as of right now.

Sometimes I walk Bitches around on a leash.......lol
I have a few fish

I don't have a pet, I'm way too busy to take one on but I wish I had a pet. Maybe next year I'm getting that sugar glider I've been wanting.

:thumbsup:1orglaugh

That's the only kind of pet I'm willing to consider!

Dont have any and dont want any

We have adopted cats... and I don't like them:(

I have a sweet crazy cat!

i got a rat
does it count?

p.s. i wish i had a god but i'm travelling often (

i don't... but sometimes i really want to have a dog!

it's a problem, you should always take care of 'em like after a child... i don't have time for that(((

Don't have one, don't want one

Neither do I.. used to have em but they are dirty. They say cats are the cleanest animals - please.

Try moving out and cleaning up after a cats been in the place for a month, you'll find hair and crap in places you never knew existed. It was amazing.

I had 2 dogs but we had to sell them. I really miss them. :(

I havent had one in a great many years because I currently rent and it would not be fair to the pet to force it to be inside it's whole life (is how I feel).

When I buy a home, I'd like a nice dog and cat though.

If you're young, don't get a pet yet. I'm sure you want to travel, party your ass off, and other things before you can stay at home 7 days a week....

I had a pet spider that lived in the corner of my office, but I squashed him.

I used to have one.. Right now I dont have time anymore to have pet.

Don't have pets. Have tried a plethora (dogs, fish, bird), but just don't have the time for them.

Besides... we have kids.... why do I need additional things in the house that are like kids that no one else wants to help take care of????

More power to those of you that have em.

I have 1 dog and 3 cats (one 1 year old and 2 kittens). I love all my pets, but I think that having cats is a lot nicer than a dog. For one, a dog is always there wanting attention which is nice at times, but sometimes it's a bit too much. Plus there's the walking job. Then with dogs, there's the outdoor bathroom job and setting them up in a kennel when you won't be home overnight, so no spur of the momment trips with a dog if you don't have a good kennel that's now always filled.

With cats, they're nice because they pretty much keep to themselves. My oldest cat usually comes over and greets me in the morning and the others are around throughout the day, they'll come over for a little attention, then go play around of if you're watching tv, they'll jump up on your lap. Cats are great because, of course, they use a litterbox which is nice because if needed, you can just get up and leave for a few days (if you have feeding/water dishes made for it). I guess the 2 bad things about cats are cleaning out the litterbox and the fear of them destroying furniture. I haven't had any problems with my cats yet (knock on wood), ha ha.

I have no pets. I would like to have a cat, but I´ll in an apartment, and I fell Í would be cruel if I have one in a place where the cat can´t go out to do cat things...

I have been petless since early April. I miss her tons still. It feels weird to walk without her. RIP Missy.

I have 3 kids. that's enough for me so far.

I have a Bobby. Enough said. :)

a cat would be a wise choice for a 1st pet, dogs take up way too much time:2 cents:

Beautiful pup Elli. I lost my dog earlier this summer, had him for almost 14 years. People say things like "there is not a day that goes by I don't think of ________" With my dog, there's not a minute that goes by that I don't think of him.

The hardest part of the day, is when I got to bed. For 12 years the dog never slept with me, and then all of a sudden this last year he did every night. So now, when I go to bed, and he's not sitting there at the base of the bed waiting for me to pick him up I get sad.

I'm at home probably 80% of the time, and my roommate travels constantly, so Kerouac was my sounding board, my companion, my best friend for a damn long time.

i, as i have cooked all my pets

Agreed. Cats can be pretty hands off, if need be.

Just be sure that you get at least 2 of them so that they can keep each other entertained... along with a couple toys and at leas tone of those kitty-tree things... and, at that point, all that's _necessary_ is changing the kitty little box daily, and dropping them some food once or twice a day.... maybe 2-4 minutes of chores total for those "I can't be bothered with a pet right now" moments.... laser pointers and those fishing-rod looking toys with a feather-dangle at the end are great toys to break out once in awhile.... catnip's fun for those evenings you're inebriated, and wanna share the experience with your pets... :winkwink:

of course, you can also make them pretty hands on... cat's are considerably more intelligent than most people give them credit for - they're just not very eager to please. You gotta show cats respect to earn their desire to please you.... and if you're successful enough at that, you can do things like train them to go to the bathroom in the toilet, do backflips, talk on command, etc.

true, we got a couple cats roaming around and they pretty much keep to themselves.

had a dog, bit my son, have no dog
