I'm pretty lucky as my life is split between living in the UK and living with my girlfriend in Argentina, and I get to have pets in both places (my parents look after my animals when I'm away).

In the UK, I have two cats:
Tilly

And two rabbits - Dandelion (pronounced "Dan-dil-leon" because that's how my girlfriend says it and I think its cute that way ;D) and Ghost

In Argentina I have a cat called Roller Derby who was a stray that was rescued as a tiny kitten from the local train tracks

A ferret that I share with my gf called Chester

Annnnnnnd......

.... An Opossum! Called Reek. (I thought I was being cute naming him that, its a Game of Thrones reference, but he's living up to the name *facepalm*) He was hit by a car as a baby and his jaw was broken, so now he lives as a happy tame pet that will do anything for banana!

Apart from these, my girlfriend also has two other cats of her own, a corgi, a chinchilla, and two other opossums that were rescued as tiny babies when their mum was hit by a car. She's getting a reputation as the place to take injured animals to be nursed.... <3

Wow! Another Opossum!

My family (who I don't live with) rescued an Opossum too! He is a very nice (if overfed and stinky) guy. Here is my dad holding him. I guess he stank too (my sister would wash him regularly) - I read that that is one of their defense mechanisms...

Holy macaroni, I didn't know possums were that big.

Possums aren't, but opossums can be - they're two completely different species. It's made more confusing because opossums (the "Irish Possum" LOL!) are the ones that "play possum" when threatened, while possums don't have that defense mechanism.... Confused yet?

As exotic pets go, I think opossums are pretty good. Of course, I don't support simply taking them as adults from the wild, but if they need rescuing because they're injured or have lost their parent and are young, they become tame quickly in my limited experience and even pretty loving.

I love that the South American opossums have stripes on their faces, while the North American ones have mostly white faces! Its such a cool difference. Your parents' one looks a lot like my girlfriend's other two, size wise. Opossums sure love their food! Reek's still young, he has plenty of time to work on getting fatter ;D Oddly enough, the other pair being a sister and brother (the brother is neutered) living together, they seem to groom each other a lot and need less baths.

Seeing as we're talking opossums, here's Gino and Gina:

I grew up with dogs, cats, and fish in my life but right now I can't have anything. I've become that scary person that approaches you and just can't stand to not give your dog a nice pat when you're out for a walk.

I love seeing everyone's pets! Especially the unique ones!!!!

Currently, I have 7 cats; Benny, Chloe, Ricky, Blizzard, Gus, Willie, Louie. 1 Guinea Pig; Nancy. My sister has 1 Rabbit; Charlie (female). I have 4 Betta Fish (I'm addicted!); Jebadia, Elrond, Canary, Dustfinger. She has 1 Betta Fish; Tristen.

I love pets, especially more exotic ones but at the moment, since my Iquana passed back in the winter, I just can't bring myself to own anymore. I wanted to get a Tortoise, but since I share a lease with my mom/sister, I can't have one. How is it that I pay 200 bucks rent here and still can't have whatever pets I want! lol

I do manage to sneak betta fish home from work sometimes. They sell them back in the pets section in those tiny cups.. when I see a sad one.. I can't resist! That's how I ended up with 2 of them.. The first, Jebadia, was a gift from my sister in congrats on getting a job back a year ago. Canary was yellow.. pretty much my grail betta. Saw him in pet supplies plus and since my mom was talking with an old friend she ran into, I managed to sneak him to the register!

One day, I'd love to have a dog.. probably a Dalmatian! But, that's not in the cards for me right now. 21 and can't even have my own dog.. lol Oh well, someday!

Oh.. and horses! I dream of horses!

ETA: I found some pics on my computer!! Not everyone is pictured but here's some of my babies

None, would love to own a horse again though. Moved to a subdivision so had to sell my babies.

I used to have a kitty, but my mom kept him when I moved out. I miss him! I have no pets now (with a baby in the house and all) but I hope to get another kitty or a rat one day.

...platys? What's a platys?

One dog, she's our second so I named her Deuce. Sometimes I think of her as ma-Deuce-a because her barks can scare you stiff,
