Friday Five
I rarely ever do the Friday Five, but this one seemed fun.
1. Do you have any pets? If so, how many, and what are their names?
I have five cats - Rusty, Cider, Lucky, Edison, and Juneau. That's a whole lotta cats.
2. What was your very first pet? Do you remember its name?
The first pet I had was a goldfish. It lived in a Skippy jar until my mom gave it away. My family's next pet was a black cat named Jefferson. We named it that since we got it from the Jefferson County Humane Society. Unfortunately, that was also around the time "The Jeffersons," a sitcom about an African-American family, was running. People assumed we were just kinda racist.
3. Is there an animal you would never have as a pet?
I would never have a spider or a snake. I could also never have an octopus. Mike told me that they can unlock their aquariums and walk around on land. Sometimes they even break into other aquariums and eat the fish in there. No thanks!
4. What common pet have you always wanted but never had? Why not?
I've never had a bird since I have cats. It just seems like a bad idea. I've never had a rabbit for the same reason.
5. What wild animal (extinct or not) would you own if you didn't have to worry about its adjustment or the cost of captivity?
A goat! I love, love, love goats, but you just can't keep one in the city. I know goats aren't wild, but there aren't any wild animals that I'd really want.

goats stink. really, they do, especially the males. however, if you have female goats you can milk them. many kids who are allergic to cows milk can drink goats milk. it's something about the construction of the milk protiens...maybe it's the diet of tin cans and clean underwear that used to be hanging on the clothes line.
you can have a bird so long as you hang the cage from the ceiling. however, birds are messy. they scatter seed all over the place around their cages.
LOL at your Jefferson explanation. I remember going to the vets office once, and a woman had a black cat named Oprah.
I have 2 bunnies now, and my cats look at them curiously, but have never done anything to them. Probably because my rabbits are about the same size as the cats.
My mother always said she wanted goats. She wanted one on each hillside to 'cut' the grass for her.
Like I mentioned in my blog, I'm not touching this F5 question!
