The bath isn't big enough, and the local planning regs won't let me turn the back garden (or the front one, for that matter) into a crocodile/alligator pit/swamp/marsh/other-suitably-wet-ground...

I have one yeti who I married, and one invisible Portugese llama. I did have two cats, and would like some more, but not just yet... we do however seem to have at least one, possibly more, invisible and/or incorporeal cats.

Down in the Everglades of Florida, there are people who wrestle alligators! I guess you could consider that a sort of pet!

You know, Am, you've given me the perfect pet for Ryleigh! An invisible llama!! It can be tall, so it will match my husband (of course it will have to be big and male, too to match my OCD requirements) and I don't have to feed it, walk it, or pooper scoop behind it!! Yeah...I like it, I like it!! THANKS.

Please explain about the invisible/incorporeal cats. It sounds like a very interesting story.

And, of course, whilst many children have invisible friends, I don't think I know of any with invisible llamas - which must surely appeal!

The invisible/incorporeal cats are probably two categories (pun intended - sorry!) The invisible one(s?) we've both felt rubbing around us and heard batting at the bells hanging over the stairs (which fail to make even the slightest noise unless actually batted by paw or hand - even a strong through wind doesn't disturb them!). The incorporeal ones... well, the first one I encountered was as a child,which used to walk through the wall between us and our neighbour, jump onto my bed and curl up, then vanish - thoroughly upsetting the real cat we had at the time... there's apparently one with us when we visit my parents, although only my mum's seen (and nearly tripped over) that one... and we occasionally see a small b&w cat wandering around the house then vanish, which bears no resemblance to any cat either of us have had, or any that have been in the neighbourhood.

And now I've revealed myself to be a little, ummm, crazy, I'll back off slowly so you don't have to

You have totally freak my older daughter and I OUT! And no I don't think you're crazy. There are way too many things that cannot be explained in this world to call that crazy. I've seen some strange things moving under the clothes in my son's room. Now way am I looking and he says it's nothing to worry about, but we can't explain it!

Oh what a difference a few letters and an apostrophe make! I edited my last post to say I wouldn't trade him if he would do yard work. Unfortunately, he's really good at excuses, "I have homework", "my seven broken ribs from the car accident 2 years ago still hurt", etc., etc., etc., so it is extremely difficult to get him to do any outside chores.

Would you trade the cat for a sheltie that howls along with Avril Lavigne's song "Keep Holding On"?

I have a one year old male Golden Retriever who thinks he is a goat (eats any & everything)

A rescue male English Setter (badly mistreated, Spaniards still have a lot to learn )

And one tiny rescue Munchkin neutered white cat who is deaf.

Guess who is boss? that's right! - the tiny deaf cat

there are many advantages to having invisible pets. i personally am considering getting myself an invisible hedgehog and an invisible sugar-glider. if it's invisible, it won't have to worry about the cats, you see.
