I have 3 house cats, 3 yard cats, 1 bantam cockerel, 1 bantam hen, 3 ex bat rescue hens and 2 ponies. However in the main house there are 2 rats, 2 rabbits, 2 cocker spaniels, 7 more cats and in the garden 5 ducks one of whom is sitting on a clutch of 10 eggs.

I’m seriously thinking of replacing the house sign at the bottom of the drive with one which says Noah’s Ark ?

Part of me doesn't like these threads, they just feel like a who-has-the-most-animals competition ? maybe it's just me

It isn't just you. I have one cat. We're only allowed one animal in my building but my cat made it very clear to me years ago that she does NOT want a second cat in our home so I won't have a second one again.

Adamntitch it doesn’t come across like that at all. Some people post about their animals all the time so we know what they have because it is well documented. We regularly follow some animals from birth onwards and it’s lovley to see updates such as Flower the bogof foal who is now 5 and the apple of her owners eye. Other people rarely post about their animals and it’s always interesting to read about some of the different and more unusual species forum members own.

Personally I don’t own my pets, I am merely a slave to them all ?

Was that directed at me or am i being sensitive.? Sorry if is was interpreted like that, i was just being honest. I didn't even think like that, i am just curious what other people have., would love to know all your species you have, but would probably have to use google to tell me what they are! ;)

it wasn't directed at anyone, it was just how these sorts of threads always seem to go. I got a pm the other day calling me an animal hoarder anyway so I'm not listing mine. Easy enough to see what I keep if you go through the photo thread, or I can PM if people really want to know, and I can show setups or do a video tour of everyone to prove I'm not a hoarder too if really wanted/needed.

Gosh, what a horrible thing to say to someone! I hope it was reported, if it was through here.

I’ve a dog, 2 cats, and a rabbit, though by how much they cost these days we could be mistaken for running a zoo!

2 cats ?

I'd love a bunny or 2 as I follow the naughty bunny fb page and they're hilarious little creatures but I think OH would murder me. Plus they're not cheap and seem to like to try to die so I couldn't afford one unfortunately.

I'd also love more cats but that's also not allowed ?
Two. You can't have one on its own
