Do any of you have pets?

[Pookie]

I love animals and want a new pet (my previous one died), but there's no point if I'm not going to hang around.

 

[Hopeindeath!]

My cat is dying of congestive heart failure. I hope my heart stops when his does.

 

[Brokenwithbpd]

I've been pretty suicidal for a while now, if I didn't have a rabbit I'd probably off myself already. But I just can't leave him alone, I feel like that would be the worst thing I've ever done in my life ( I've done some shitty things) if I left him alone. He's really attached to me and hates my mom even tho he knows her since the beginning (he knows her for the same amount of time as me) and I know my parents would neglect him and not take care of him, hell- I wouldn't leave out the option that they would just throw him on the street and let some dog kill him. I cannot bare that. But I'm also so suicidal and it's just so hard...

I am in the ale exact boat. I have 2 dogs and they are my life

 

[Amumu]

Two small turtles

 

[Wrennie]

I have 2 kitties but I know that my family would continue to care for them after I'm gone, so it doesn't really affect my decision to CTB.

 

[SadJessu]

I currently have fish, a chinchilla, and three cats. I used to have many, many more, a whole homestead really...but I've been slowly giving them away. Mostly because I have a relationship with someone in London, which requires me to move part time at least, so it's just not fair to them. I'll have to keep my cats because I love them and anywhere else they'd be would mean unhappiness for them. Good thing is that my partner seems to love cats and has two himself, so if I do ultimately ctb they'll be in good hands.

I have a load of pets. 4 cats, 7 Tarantulas, 4 Snakes, 1 Millipede, 8 Hissing Cockroaches, 2 Scorpions and I love them all. They are one of the reasons I'm holding on...... Barely.

That sounds absolutely amazing!! Like a miniature zoo.

 

[AbandonedGirl]

I got a cat Felix, dog Don and a parrot named Rina.They are my only friends :)

 

[Bärchen]

Have a cat named Berti. His buddy Paul died five weeks ago.
Had other cats and a dog in my past too.
I dont know if i get new cats when Berti is gone, i am already getting more cold, grumpy and pissed each day. CTB will be the better option.

Thank you yes they are amazing animals. I like the more Prehistoric animals. Try are all sweet natured creatures.

Grew up on a farm and had a lot of different pets. But mainly dogs(Springer spaniels and Labradors). Nothing smells better than when a pup licks your face.

I grew up on a farm as well, a 250 acre dairy/arable farm, l wish I was still there so much! I have a staffie called Maximus who is 9yrs old and means everything to me:-)

I want a pet cow!

 

[LONE WOLF.]

I want a pet cow!

Soulless Angel,when l was 12yrs old l had a pet cow called Butty, because she had 2 horns on her head and would gently butt me on the leg when she wanted a hug or extra cow cake in her trough! She was so sweet natured that when her milk dried up instead of being sent to the slaughter house my dad let me keep her in the orchard for her retirement years(5) and when she passed l dug a 15ft by 15ft hole in the orchard with a McConnell Digger and buried her and put a home made headstone at the head of her grave! My whole family loved Butty the cow and cried when she left us for the great pasture in the sky? However having a pet cow is kind of expensive!

 

[Deformationalplagio]

3 cats and 3 bunnys

 

[FatalSystemError591]

I have a similar guilt. I have a cat with my husband but I take care of the cat better, if I did do it she wouldn't get the same quality of care.

 

[Adamsnolife]

No I don't have any pets

 

[Trisolaris]

I have a dog.

 

[Isangformischa]

I have 2 dogs, I don't think I'd be alive still without them

 

[LONE WOLF.]

Dog's are Amazing creatures with so much love to give and so much to teach us! I admit I'm a better person because of my Dog and his predecessors! Dog's are honest, People are Not I say 'Dog' for Prime Minister!!!

 

[heraclitus]

I have 2 cats. They're never fail to make me laugh, especially when they do dumb stuff like getting stuck on our trash can.
They bring me more comfort than the family ever has.. Adopting them furballs was the best decision I've made, but sometimes I do regret it since I know I'll have to leave them.

We lost one of ours. The pain is intolerable. Enjoy every moment with them.

 

[D11FER]

Have a British bulldog called Benny who will be loved and looked after by my parents when I'm gone x

 

[ixkitty]

I have a furry asshole named Bane, yes the evil Batman guy)

 

[Last chance]

I have a dog called Norman. Hes staying with a friend for a few days because I havent been able to look after him properly.

 

[ohhgeeitsme]

This is Sasha. I didn't raise her, but she's now my best friend and attached to me. She's also as stubborn and anxious as I am.

 

[ashedout]

I had dogs but they passed away (old age complications). They were my main reason for waking up every day and being alive. I have nothing now that they are gone. It's been challenging and if I had the means to ctb I probably would have done so immediately after they died. I still have a few longs months ahead of me to get everything in place though but the loneliness and quiet is suffocating without them.

 

[stygal]

He was the only pet I ever had and probably ever will. Loved my little fluffy buddy a lot. Miss you, hope you get some maggots in heaven. <3

 

[Dizzy_Dreams]

Yes I have a dog but I'm not functional my issues are bad and so is my mental health and my boyfriend would for sure get her if he kicked me out or if I do CTB... so I'm always on the verge of losing her

 

[CatabolicSeed]

Yes, I have 2 cats and a dog. My dad also has two cats, one of which is 15 years old and I grew up with him.

 

[Imaginos]

Used to. Not anymore. It was nice while it lasted, but eventually the inevitable happens. Don't have the wherewithal to ever go through with it again. Fortunately, my mother feels the same way. Our last cat died back in 2016 at the rather ripe old age of 19 1/2, I was very close to him, but that's all in the past now. If anything, I'm actually of the opinion nowadays that owning pets isn't very ethical. Pet stores might as well be slave auction blocks, since they sell sentient lifeforms for a profit. It's honestly as bad an industry as factory farming. Adopting pets is fine, I guess, but ideally all animals should be allowed their freedom after being spayed/neutered, assuming they're healthy enough to be released. Personally, I think it's a shame that cats/dogs have been conditioned to be our pets and to otherwise serve our needs for personal comfort/amusement, instead of being left alone in the wild hundreds of years ago as I believe they should have been.
