Pets

Here’s a list of all the pets I’ve ever owned:

  1. A giant albino hamster (or possible a tailless albino rat) called Percy. He had the most enormous… ‘under-carriage’ which was always getting trapped in things and (possibly a related issue) was extremely bad tempered.
  2. A rabbit called Thumper. Who was also very testosterone-y and like to dig huge burrows, I’m guessing in a bid to allay his sexual frustrations. Most boring company in the world.
  3. At last, a proper pet, a black cat called Toby who thought he was a dog. He would play ‘fetch’ and liked to eat crisps.
  4. Finally (and my only pet as an adult) another cat; a tortoise-shell called Scratch who was awesome if very naughty. We once had to take him to vet when he got stuck in a bird-table.

Now though, we are a sans-pet household and I’d be lying if I said I don’t prefer it that way. I do love animals, but it’s because I love them I don’t have one. (That and the fleas *shudder*).

On the plus side, all this means I get to enjoy the birds in the garden as wildlife and not as gifts in my slippers!

    Hahaha! Oh my goodness! Why were all your pets completely mental? They sound excellent! And by the way: I LOVE this picture! Is it a montage? It’s brilliant.

    Why, thank you!
    I just plonked a texture over the photo. I was so close to writing ‘a nice pair of tits’ in the empty space, you wouldn’t believe!
