I don't currently have a pet, but this was my old dog, Bo (a border collie). She was a Scorpio and quite intense, hyperactive, a bit neurotic and jealous sometimes. She hated the postman (especially if he was wearing a turban for some reason ), hated the sound of the fire being turned on or toilet paper being pulled, and had various other phobias. lol. She had one brown eye and one blue (blue merle). I loved her to bits even though she could be a bit nuts sometimes. I think she just wanted to herd sheep really. Once she approached a cow and it fell down from the shock.

Not sure if we have a pet pics thread...

My cat is fat (fluffy), grumpy and has eyes of Sauron.

His previous owner moved and found it hard to bring him along, so my s.o and I adopted him.

According to his former owner, he's a libra. I find it hard to believe, he's too cranky and unfriendly to be one lolol.

I want a cat too now! I used to have one but he adopted me (used to come in my garden and decided he wanted to live with me.) I did post notices asking if anyone had lost a black and white cat but no-one responded, so he stayed with me for several years until he died.

My old cat weighing himself - probably a Libra too!

Cats are such spiritual creatures.
My old cat doing his "sphinx" impression (headwear courtesy of photoshop!) He was such a laid-back soul (aren't most cats?!)

My dad owns a professional kennel, so this is the photo with one of his pets Sonata, who won many competitions My dad and my stepmum are both Pisces and treat their dogs like children

Btw, I'm 176cm tall, and have quite a distance between me and Sonata. If I gocloser, she could be as as tall as me.

She is Russian Borzoi. Very friendly, unagressive breed. They are kinda like greyhounds (large ones), but with fur

Ahh they are. Very lovely dogs. My dad breads them and greyhounds (large ones). I'll post pics tomorrow.

This is my boy-- he's on the right.

The other one is his brother, Cupcake (that we believed to be a girl,

till we took him to get spayed), who belongs to my mom.

They're Geminis.

Thanks Eirlys! Oh that second pic of The Captain is so cute. He looks like he's posing for the camera! His name suits him.

When I was 18 a girl at school said her cat had had a litter of kittens and asked if I wanted one, plus she was also wanting to give away the mother, who was actually a stray. I asked my mum if we could go and see them and on the way there my mother was saying quite sternly "don't you DARE ask me to get the mother cat too!". Of course, when we got there, the mother cat (pure black) was beautiful and my mother completely caved in without me even saying anything. So we ended up with mother and son cat - Pudding and Harold. You could tell the mother was a stray because although she was fairly sweet and docile, if you picked her up her claws would immediately sink into your skin. I think it was just habit really.

Anyway, that was rather long-winded of me and I think I've been on Lindaland too long today.... off to catch some sleep. Keep posting. I wonder if anyone has any more unusual pets, like horses, snakes, tarantulas etc.

lolll!! I never thought of that.

His nose always looked like it was scarred from something. It got worse as he got older.
He also had a torn ear which used to really bug me. He was like the Van Gogh of the cat world.

@Teasel
He looks like a little angel.

@12muddy

Not that I can remember, but we did have Polish people living across the road who might have had a cat and I did spot mine lurking around there one day doing the Nazi salute (clever with his paws, he was!).
(Better stop now before anyone gets offended...)
