Haha! I guess I'm not creative either because I named the first stuffed animal I ever got Big Bunny! :)

I also have a stuffed penguin named Penguin :D

No way. So do I. Craazy. Do you happen to have any named Bow, Wuuf, Snow Bear, or Rivey?

I gave my stuffed animal a real name (Bobby) and named my real life bunny Bunny. Idk, i was a strange kid...


This picture in particular is too cute. 
He's all like "Please, sir, may I have some more?"
Mammals are the best.

That's what he would do when I was sitting in a chair too high for him to reach, on account of him being a tiny tiny bunny with tiny tiny legs  :)

Aww, that's so adorable!  I had rabbits as a teenager, and I know they only stretch out like that with their feet behind them when they feel really relaxed. 

Was Bunny a full-time house rabbit, with a litter box and all?  I wish I could have a rabbit again, but I live in a cramped apartment with no cross-ventilation, so I don't think it would work.

I had a bunny who was my best and often times only friend and I miss him.




He's a dwarf holland lop and I named him Bunny because nothing else ever seemed to fit him. I was slightly allergic to him, but that stop me from cuddling with him and letting him lick my face :)

No, but what about a Purple Bear, Orca, or Alien? Those were some of my sister's (Alien is a polar bear, fun fact, but my grandpa named it so it probably doesn't count). My brother had Grayhound, Bonsly, and America Girl - though that one was a stuffed doll and not a human, hmmm. I guess no one was very creative! :D

First of all, your pets are all adorable. So cute, including the plants!

Now get ready for a whole bunch of my two (and a half) weirdos!

both of them hate having pictures taken. like, seriously hate it.. and even when I manage, they always have that annoyed look on their faces, so these are pretty rare.

Edit: heh, found some more!
Carlo, who, in his former incarnations, was Giacomo Casanova and a turkish padisha. Has to be that way, I can't explain how else he can be so cuddly, demanding and adorable. He's also the most patient cat in existence. He only scratched someone once in his whole life, when my sister dragged him through the house by the tail.
He's completely black, except for a few white hairs under his chin.
He's also very musically gifted. Not only when it comes to demanding food/cuddles/attention in the most interesting variations of sounds, but he goes wild when you whistle for him. Für Elise will always his all-time favourite.
 
 
I have no idea, why he does this, but he keeps jumping you, and curling up around your neck, here he's in the middle of conquering my neck, while I was skyping with a friend:



My second darling, Professor McGonagall, although we usually just call her Maggy. Constantly switches between "hello favourite person in this world, I will purr the hell out of myself, and I shall not leave your keyboard/newspaper/whatever it is you're doing right now alone, 'til I'm petted to my satisfaction" and "I honestly don't get you. I'm so annoyed right now. I will show my contempt with deadly glares, until you give in, but even then you can't do it right anyway" behaviour.
She's weird. 'nuff said. And loves baskets of any kind. paper bin, washing, I think the box she doesn't fit into has yet to be found.
 
 

And they don't get along that well, so pictures like this are very rare:


while I lived in NZ, I had a flat cat, Sonic. This is him. Only 1.5 years at the time, still bigger than both my darlings!


And then there's the usual neighbour cat traffic around our house. We have about 4 more guest cats, who shop up from 7 times daily to once a week. They provide entertainment for C and M, and they are all pretty as hell too.

Curiosity is the most powerful driving force in the universe, because it can overcome the two biggest braking forces in the universe: reason and fear.

Yes, he was indoor and he litter trained himself. I had hardwood floors, so mostly he stuck to his waterproof blanket. The most important part for rabbits is that they get lots exercise. So if you don't mind letting them run around your apartment while you're there, they shouldn't need too big a living space.

My first house in college had a no pet policy, so I had to hide the poor guy in the closet. We had three cats, two hamsters, a bunny, and sometimes my friend's rat would stay over while she was gone. We weren't very good at following the rules...

Did you ask them if they had a no-livestock policy though?
I mean, rabbits are delicious.
