I have a new cat!
Well, not really...,

He's just a stray that showed in the yard a few weeks ago.

He sleeps on the front porch and meows and follows me around.

I've made friends with him and named him Heechul.

If he sticks around until winter, I'll make him a warm house to use in the snow.

Here's a picture of him.

Now, I have three pets!

Heechul the fabulous cat,

Heechul the sassy diva fish, who is eating now and doing very well.

And, finally Bill the Dog, named after Bill Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel, lol

Not to mention the Marimos, and we have a Koi pond on the patio filled with goldfish and Kois, but they have no names.

My house is filled with animals, lol

Growing up, I had five dogs, two bunnies, a rat, two lizards, three turtles, a guinea pig, two ghost crabs, three birds, gold fish, hissing roaches, hamsters, a tarantula, & a saltwater tank with clown fish, a yellow tang, coral & and anemone.

Whoah!

No, I didn't own them all at once. Also, my mother taught science and most of the animals belonged to the school. We had to take care of them in the summer. The bunnies were the worst because they kept escaping. The rat got out once and we found it living under the bunny's house and stealing its food, lol.

The only animal I didn't have growing up was a cat. My grandmother hated them. Now, all the strays keep showing up in our yard. They're too cute to turn away.

I will let Heechul the cat stay as long as he wants.
