The first pet I remember was a cat called Baby. She would sleep with me, and I could call her from anywhere, and she would come running.

As long as I can remember, I've always had pets. Something about the connection you share with this entirely different species just blows my mind.
I did have a dog for a few years when I was little, but then just really had cats until I was about 21.
I have a cat. When I was younger, I had a guinea pig.
I used to love dogs until I discovered cats.
There was a pony named Barbapoppa that I received at the age of five, and he was very mischievous and maybe even devilish. Barbapoppa was the most fabulous first animal I was to have and challenged me much.
Had a dog. I had many. I grew up in rural Washington before I moved to the Twin Cities in Minnesota, and my first dog was - his name first was Bear, but then it changed to Big, and he sort of looked like Old Yeller. And then we also had a three-legged dog named Foxy, who we found because her leg was in a trap.
When I was young, I preferred dogs, but when I moved into a flat when I was 18, it wasn't practical to have a dog. So I got a couple of kittens, and that was it.
My mum loves cats so I took her to see the lion cubs which at about a year old are actually quite big. She wasn't scared at all and went straight over and kissed one on the mouth! She thought they were just like her pets at home.
My family had a habit of collecting creatures that didn't always want to be pets. The first animal I can remember was a Lab named Zoe.
I've never been around pets. I didn't have pets as a child.
