True. Also Chinchillas.

Fine, I won't be biased I'll just let these pictures prove my point:

Ooo, I've never had a pet chinchilla. Don't they go a bit mad if under-stimulated?

You can't argue with the evidence.

Ah, but you could have a picture of a salvating, growling rottweiler and compare it to jerry mouse and the mouse would seem like the better option, when in reality it wouldn't be.

I see you're ready for a mature discussion on this topic while I am not.
So I'll just agree and say Jerry is a dangerous mouse who should be euthanized for his crimes against Tom.
I don't want anything I can't flush down the toilet. Not after the cat incident.

Erm...not suuuuuure.
My grandad has two pet shops (well did, passed away) his sons run it now. One in Coventry and another Leamington.
But he sold everything, but he also sold alot of chinchillas, lovely pets.
I also had an African Grey Parrot...best pet in the world. Clipped his wing and he would just plodd about the house talking.

That's what you get for naming your cat Malcolm Hardee.

. I always sided with poor Tom. I'd rather have a cat in my kitchen than a mouse. (though a pet rat would be fine. Honestly I had one, she would come when called and was really friendly).

They are very intelligent. I've never had a parrot, only budgies.

Dolly GET a parrot. They are brilliant. Lots of fun, quite expensive but a good family pet.
Also good for fancy dress partys.
(RSPCA...I never did ever take a pet parrot to a party)
Just got a b'day present from a lovely friend; a copy of Pyschoville.
I really want hamsters but it really would upset Molly soooo much.
Roo is disturbed that she sent out a voice clip on her phone of her singing on helium and NO ONE COULD TELL THE DIFFERENCE!!!
Oh, and by nasty pics! *Shudders*

On the plus side at least no hamsters featured in those pics.
WHIMPER!
