Tails of the Community: Share Your Pets!

I took some really cute photos of my cats yesterday so I thought it was a great opportunity to start a new pet thread!
So whether they bark, meow, chirp, squeak, slither, or just stare at you judgmentally from across the room… we want to see them.
Drop a photo of your pet(s) below and tell us their name, species, and maybe a fun or silly fact about them!
Don’t have a pet? No problem - feel free to share a dream pet or your favourite animal!
Let the cuteness (and chaos) begin!

And here is his brother Percy:
They're just a couple of spooky boys! A fun fact is they're rescues and were going to be wild farm cats as the fosterers didn't think they'd do well with people but now they're very loving domesticated boys:

Okay so we have my two rat boys (they're called pocket puppies by a lot of rat owners because that is their personality!!)
And then we have my dog Toto who is at my parent's house, who is 15 and has dementia but is still a silly boy. I gave him a bath on this day so his hair is all fluffy
There is also my girlfriend's dog Winnie who may as well be mine, but I won't do a picture just in case her mum wouldn't like it! But imagine the most gorgeous and happy yellow Labrador you can, and that's Winnie
@Katie i think there should be a mix pet zoom call 😂 every pet can meet each other

I have a lot as I have a farm. I don't sell them! I have one because I find animals therapeutic and because i also do animal therapy with some young children, they come and we do therapy with the animals. So that's why I have a farm.
This is my tortoise kiwi
These are my piglets- spring, oink, curly, and dot
This is one of my pygmy goats dexter
This is my guinea pig Meadow.
This is my rabbit Mino
And here are my gerbils- bear and Loki
i can see them! they’re so cute
i think the most i could handle would be fish 😂😂 i've had them when i was younger but not for years now - i don't think i should be given the responsibility for anything bigger to be honest.
i did used to want a hamster when i was younger but that one never came to be
I run a free of charge animal therapy for young people and children in my community and so some of them picked the names, and the rest I picked. To be fair picking names when I have so many pets it really does get hard and the name choices do start to get wild ha.
I have around 10 pygmy goats so some of those have well odd names ha, I obviously don't have pictures of all my animals as I have so many and many of the same type of animal too ha just like the pygmy goats
All my Pygmy goats names-
Dexter, Billy, Snow, Slush, Nina, Blue, Charles, Rossi, Hyde, and Ziggy
Wow that's a lot of goats to keep track of and I love their names - especially Slush and Ziggy! What's your all time favourite animal Bea?
Oh yeah for sure, the children really do come up with some wild names.
Pygmy goats are so sweet Katie, they can be loud at times but they do really love people, at least mine do anyway.
My all time favourite animal- that's a tricky question given the fact I am obsessed with animals. Out of all the animals that I own, my favourite is probably the pygmy goats either dexter or Slush they are both adorable and really loving.
But out of all animals in the world it's sharks.
This is Gyro, he's honestly the most curious cat I've ever come across, he loves to perch himself on my shoulder to see what I'm doing.
He can be pretty sassy too!
He also LOVES to climb - this is him upside down on our hanging egg chair.
oh my goodness! hes so cute!!
Woah a shark! Unfortunately I'm not sure if you'll be able to have your own haha I also don't know how well they'd do as therapy animals! Sharks are very cool though and there's like over 500 species which is crazy !
Yes they are the small ones.
Ha yeah sadly not, though I know some people that come to my animal included therapy do like sharks and I have treated them to a little trip to the aquarium that has sharks. They all loved it and really appreciated me doing that for them.
I do have a very busy day though, like 25 people I have coming for their sessions today, they are all the younger kids though and for them I do half an hour sessions and when they hit the older age group their session will go up to an hour long.
The age I start at is aged 4 so I do have quite a variety of young people that come.
This is my dog. She's called Poppy.
