Pets
Hard to think of anything cuter than kittens spooning!
I grew up with a fat, lazy cat whose only regular exercise was beating up the neighborhood dogs -- he was basically Garfield without the stripes. So I grew up as a cat person, with no respect for dogs.
So, naturally, several years ago we got a dog against my will (our friend's dog went out and got herself in trouble, and the kids browbeat my wife into taking one of the little results). Snuggles (Whom I Didn't Name, Just For The Record!) was a cross between our friend's Pithuahua (ugliest dog I've ever seen!) and some Champion Fence-Jumper (handy name for an absentee puppy-daddy), and she promptly decided she was MY dog (?!). So I got ridiculously attached to her, to the point of changing careers to care for pets.
She only made it nine years (weird -- looked like a seizure, which she'd never had before; happened at home and I couldn't resuscitate her). Meanwhile, we'd adopted Tinkerbell (WIDN, JFTR!) a cat from my work, and a ball python whom I DID name Filaria ("Ria"), and a few years after Snuggles we added in Tiki (WIDN, JFTR!), a Yorkie who instantly joined my wife at the hip and has been there ever since.
I've loved all my pets, but my favorite patients are snakes -- the bigger the better! So I wouldn't mind throwing some more pythons and maybe boas into the mix, but I'm sure my wife would never let me get away with it.
By the way, I love that a thread like this can still be going strong after nearly a decade.

Got any pics, BOP?
I'd love to see the python in particular. I think snakes are really beautiful and fascinating, but my love of rats means I'll never own one.

Last but not least, no idea how this cat gets into our house or where it comes from but we call her Millie, she likes eating my tuna, lounging in sun spots and quite clearly has a penis on her face. She takes and gives nothing in return.
