Aww, this thread makes me want a cat!!
Our apartment doesn't allow pets, but when we move in December one of our main requirements is that our new place allows pets! (We also want a dishwasher, washer, and dryer since our current place has none of those! lol)
My parents have 2 cats that I still consider "my" cats since we've had them since I was 12 years old or so ... sorry no pics! But they crack me up because they are so different: one cat is really sweet and always wants to be petted; the other hates all people and only lets you pet him when he's hungry! (Weird since he's been an indoor cat since he was a kitten, it's not like we abused him or anything!) And yes, they fight a lot too!
My parents also have a new dog that strayed in and they kept her ... they have no idea what breeds she has in her, she's a medium sized dog, black and white with very unusual markings according to the vet! She has the most unique personality I've ever seen in a dog, I could tell you stories all day! She must have been abused in the past because she was very afraid of us at first, but my parents kept trying to feed her and now she loves everyone!
And bluebird, speaking of German Shepards, my grandparents have a very overweight, female German Shepard that weighs over 100 lbs! She scares the heck out of any visitors when she runs up to the fence barking! lol
