1. Do you have any pets? If so, how many, and what are their names?

Two, both cats: Basta and Babe.

2. What was your very first pet? Do you remember its name?

We had a number of pets when I was small, but the first one that I remember thinking of as "my" pet was Sweety, a neutered male tabby-cat.

3. Is there an animal you would never have as a pet?

Most any wild animal, snakes, reptiles, or anything that requires lots of exacting care or energetic play.

4. What common pet have you always wanted but never had? Why not?

Can't think of one. Cats have always been my deepest love because I was raised with so many. There have been times when I've not had cats because of my allergies - in fact, the past decade - but that's all to the good now so that Babe and Basta could easily have a home with me.

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?

None that I can think of? There are a number of wild animals I admire or think are beautiful, but I don't particularly want to own them.
