@muffinman I've lived with animals my entire life, but for pets that were mine and mine alone, I've had two! Both were normal, mixed cats.
The first one was named Ekorn, which is Norwegian for Squirrel, because she had an oddly fluffy tail for a short-haired mackerel tabby cat, and because she used to have a weird habit of picking bigger pieces of food up with her front paws and eating while standing, which paired with the fluffy tail made her look squirrel-like sometimes. She grew out of it, but the name stuck.
The second one is called Saki, named by my sister. I don't know if it's supposed to mean something or if it's just a cute name, but I like it.
I also had a Shetland pony named Gypsy Fling, but I guess she was technically my dad's pony. 🤷♀️ She was the offspring of our insanely popular breeding stallion, Gardie Marcus, but I think she had some attitute problems or something? Either way, she was MY pony until I got too big to ride her and lost interest in horseback riding, after which she was sold to a riding hall for other kids to ride.
