All of the other forums have threads for pet pictures and I will not have it said that BYOB refused to look at adorable animals and coo over them.

1. Please be kind
2. Some people, myself, for example, have phobias around certain species. Be aware and be kind!
3. It's a cute pet pictures thread but if you need advice on the best cat bed in town or what type of treats are best for small rodents, that's fine! Ask away; SA is a place of expertise.
4. Post!

Greggy 1984-1989


Kiku-san 1988-2003


Tanuki 2003-2020


Hypatia 2003-2013


Smudge ????-2017 (15-17, maybe)


We had all sorts of pets when I was growing up. Reptiles, amphibians, rodents, birds, fish, cats, and dogs. Hamsters are so dang cute! But I turned out to be a cat lady and that's that.

oryx before all the colour drained from their skin.

i have no idea what pronoun to use for oryx because at one point they had gonads that i thought looked male but they went away?

aaaaaand here's dolly!

not my pet as of yet, but will be here for at least a few more weeks.

They are such chill creatures.

Dolly is darling

more importantly i love this thread and all of the pets posted herein!!!

e: maybe we could sticky it and crosslink pets posted in the welcome thread?

that way there would be a BYOB resource of good pets to look at + would honor the memory of the very good cat who inspired the thread

I would love crossposts because people post pets in the Welcome thread and then the thread moves on. I like the various pet-dedicated ones because they don't move as fast and there's less chat between pics (chat about pets is good, of course).

axolotl update: felt so bad about letting dolly get ahold of oryx that i bought some steak for him. usually i just feed him worms but after being pulled outta the water and bit dude deserves some high class meals

I like axolotls. They tend to be very popular denizens of biology departments.

Heather Papps posted:

i may be completely off base here but i am pretty sure axolotls are one of the only animals to be functionally extinct in the wild BUT incredibly common in research and as pets.

I believe that's true; been a lot of development in their habitats.
An axolotl is currently featured in the webtoon Castle Swimmer, which seems to have sparked some interest in the little beasts.

the latest news on Tuna:



also, this is Callie! we stayed at a cabin for the weekend at the beginning of october and she was there when we arrived. she belongs to the neighbors but she was allowed to go into the cabin and hang out if we wanted! (we did)



Please keep us updated on Tuna antics, especially any toe curling.
Wandering cats who will just hang out are great. The ones in my current neighborhood are very shy. :(

Plant MONSTER. posted:

Depends on the budgie, some might be apt to catch a quick nap on a beloved human's shoulder. They should do their main sleep in a dark, quiet and secluded area, like a covered cage, though. I wouldn't want my birds to sleep outside their cages for various reasons but mostly because they are very squishable.

My budgies catch naps either on their play-tree or in the bathroom on the shower rod.

Conures, a different kind of parrot are more apt to snuggle with you to sleep as they sleep huddled together.

Thanks!
Last year, I started reading a webtoon about owning budgies but the artist decided doing "what if they were human and also in high school" was a fantastic idea and I bailed.

Lulu is almost 12 1/2 years old. she’s an indoor cat who likes pets and food and sleep. she has gone outside a few times but overall prefers a warm blanket.





Lulu was from a litter with 3 other siblings, all of which and the mother were all orange tabbies.





she came home with me with her brother Dexter. he was a big adventure cat who loved car rides and meeting people. I would take him for walks.







unfortunately Dexter passed a few months before their 7th birthday. he had a heart condition and Lulu and I were very sad.

I decided a few months later to get Lulu a pal, so little Rokitanksy J MacReady came home from the SPCA (you can call him Rokit)



he got bigger pretty quick



he’s an intense boy



unfortunately Lulu and Rokit don’t really like each other. but I love them both very much.




Rokit and Lulu adventures!
Dexter's last adventure was bittersweet

Well, I went looking for any pictures of Greggy that might have been scanned and saved but instead just found folder after folder of Hypatia+Tanuki kitten pictures and videos and, after yet another session of weeping, have decided to wait a bit before doing more searching. (I think I'm almost past the "wailing, sprinkling of ashes in the hair, and rending of sackcloth garments" stage)

Might do a Greggy bio at some point. His story does end sadly and too soon but he was the catalyst for me converting from "ha ha yeah man cats are cute and weird" into full-blown crazy-cat lady.

Hell, my dogs are alive and I get misty just thinking about the fact that someday they won’t be.

I had a nightmare a few months ago that I was walking with Tarkus and we came upon a bridge. Below the bridge there were some animals and before I could stop him, Tarkus jumped down on them. I heard the crunch of him hitting the ground in my dream and bolted awake. Thankfully he was snoring at the foot of the bed as usual. Losing a pet sucks and I hope you are doing well with coping.
