1. Do you have any pets? If so, how many, and what are their names?
I have four cats, named (in order of arrival in the family) Callie, Tika, Ink Jet, and Cotton. We also have a tankful of fish but only one is currently named, a crazy albino corydorus named Dementia.

2. What was your very first pet? Do you remember its name?
I had a cocker spaniel when I was very little. I think it was named Blackie.

3. Is there an animal you would never have as a pet?
I have told my kids this: no reptiles, no rabbits, no rodents, no birds, no amphibians, no orthopods, no arachnids, only cats, dogs and fish.

4. What common pet have you always wanted but never had? Why not?
I really can't say there is one.

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?
Hm. I might like a tiger... they're closest to just being a cat.
