No need, he does cute things on demand anyway. My daughter is in charge of training. He jumps into my arms when I've been out, a meaty flying leap from 10 ft away, I have to brace myself these days.
What if you meet someone nice who doesnt like your pets

My partner is not keen on cats but he would never ask me to get rid of them. Not that I would, that would be wrong.

I don't have any atm - I have to borrow my parents. 
But - no he'd have to go.
I will not be happy until I have a squirrel & a fox.

Oh, a fox would be awesome (not as awesome as my dog, mind you, in case she's reading this over my shoulder). A squirrel would be cool, but I have no trees in my flat.
Leo eats squirrels and sees off the foxes these days. And there he is asking to be let in the window.....

are you looking to run the local pub?
Awwwww...the picture of Leo is cute! I love Maine Coons.
I had to educate my husband in pet ownership. I'd grown up with loads of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, our house was like Noah's Ark when I was a kid) and he wasn't used to pets at all. Our two cats have converted him into at least a cat lover, even if he's still not that keen on other animals. He's particularly bonded with our big soppy male Norwegian Forest Cat - I often catch him talking to the cat or sneaking the cat tit-bits, it's quite amusing if you know how anti-animal he used to be!
I can't understand people who'd dump their pets to please a new partner. If they're the kind of person who wants you to get rid of a much-loved pet, they're not a nice person to be with anyway. My friend met Mr. Right and he was allergic to her cat, but he agreed just to take loads of anti-allergy meds and actually, now he's been living with the cat for years, his allergies have got much better!

I always imagine finding a baby fox & squirrel & raising them. But as I'm not in a Disney film this is unlikely.
I've no trees in my flat either, couldn't they go for a climb outside & come back?
There's a type you can legally have as a pet - called the Southern flying squirrel. How sweet is that?!

OH MY F*CKING GOD.
I want one. I'm sure Sheena (my dog) wouldn't mind. She seems to love everyone in the world, so it'd be okay. It's a bit embarrassing trying to be a misanthrope when your dog's a humanitarian, though.

Yeah. But wouldn't rats be AWESOME if they had bushy tails???

I just don't get rats. They are food to my cats, it's hard to see past that.

More like hamsters with bushy tails. Rats have a very particular face - remind me of Michael Winner. They're the only rodent I really dislike.

LMAO
But pets love you no matter what, they don't go in the huff with you or leave their dirty undies lying around, or leave the bog seat up all the flippin time. Granted you don't get the nookie, but there's always Ann Summers??
I once seen a similar video to that pamela

The awesomest thing about fennecs is they're not just cute, they're also STACKABLE!!!
How convenient is that? You could have loads in even a modestly-sized flat.
Believe me you dont want fox shit on your shelves 
its terrible plus your other pet would roll in it , you would need 400 weight of shake n vac to shift smell.

Yeah, that's the drawback. Fox sh*t is damn near uncleanable once it's dried- it's kind of waxy, so a normal wash won't get rid of it- surprisingly, tomato ketchup works better than soap in that scenario.
It's also got that annoying kind of stench that you don't notice straight away, and then when it's too late is all-pervasive.
