10. d. boon, the cat of Tjames Madison. I can still smell her urine in my
record collection.

9. Hitler, the green parakeet killed by Stalin.

8. Stalin, the white killer parakeet that my enormous Uruguyan ex-roomate
liberated because he didn't want a killer in the house.

7. Tina, the dog my parents sent to a "farm" without bothering to tell me.
I was just FIVE YEARS OLD, for God's sake. This is the most likely reason
that I am to this day a bitter person who is utterly unable to love. Also,
I am likely to snap at some point.

6. The unknown animal I mashed while driving between Tulare and Fresno.

5. George "The Animal" Steele. The finest professional wrestler of all
time.

4. MANIMAL

3. That helpless little bird I shot with a BB gun.

2. Cassie. Little dumb dog who liked to chase racquetballs and jump in the
water. She didn't run for help one day when I was fishing at the lake and
ended up with a big hook going through my finger. I guess there wasn't
really anything she could do. She was just a DOG. I walked home and my dad
pulled it out. It hurt a real lot.

1. Darby Crash. Formerly my personal cat and she was insane and hated
everyone but me (which is the way every wise being should be, especially
beings who are cute CHYX). But I had to give her to a home for unwanted
cats because I am allergic to cats and I got really sick it really bummed
me out and that's another reason that I am to this day a bitter person who
is utterly unable to love.

(In no particular order)

1) Squeaky the Squirrel: found at only a few weeks of age by my wife and
daughters last fall, this little fella ended up spending the winter with us.
We'd let him out of his little cage and he'd race around our study, looking
for places to "bury" his nuts: I was seated watching TV once, and he tried
to insert one in my sock, fercryinoutloud. We let him go in April, and after
a few weeks we saw him no more. We can only hope he found himself a nice li'l
lady and settled down in an oak tree somewhere.

2) Eley: He was the official bunny of my older daughter's first grade class,
and ended up staying in our apartment for several months when the teacher
was too ill to care for him. Remember the "killer rabbit" in "Monty Python
and the Holy Grail"? Or during the Carter Administration? Eley had a similar
disposition. He'd get grumpy, bored, whatever, and if you weren't paying
sufficient attention to him he would charge you, sometimes give a nip. We have
a photo of our kids warily petting Eley; they often were afraid to stop, because
Eley would, uh, try to convince them they should do more.

3) Newport: A raccoon given my mother and me by a friend years ago. He liked to
ambush our greyhound (see below), and clean his anus every so often on the
arm rest of our couch. Cute little bestid, though. Unfortunately, he later
acted out one of the verses in Loudon Wainwright's "Dead Skunk."

4) Vega: the aforementioned greyhound, a former racer injured in a car accident
who subsequently was found by another friend of ours. Never completely regained
her form of her earlier years, but could sure get a full head of steam up
whilst racing around the yard or down the backroad. Mom once likened her to
"a snake on stilts."

5) Liesel: homicidal St. Bernard obtained from my uncle. Good around kids, but
put a small female dog in her midst and - LOOK OUT! Alas, her aggressiveness
later manifested itself in attacks on some neighbor's small farm and domestic
animals, and so she was forced to walk a last mile.

6) Pippin: nifty Russian blue cat my wife had owned since college. Pippen had
a declaratory sort of meow, and was very easy-going. Played indirect but
significant role during my courtship: first time I went to my future wife's
apartment, I picked him up and greeted him warmly, and my wife-to-be said she
knew I was all right then. Displayed his general good sportsmanship by allowing
us to dress him once in baby clothes while we were expecting our first kid.

7) Beaucoup: not really my cat, per se, but an apartment mate's. She was 22
(count 'em) 22 years old when I met her, and she lived two more years. She'd
seen it all, and you could tell it just by looking at her.

8) Sombra: sweet-natured German Shepherd/St. Bernard mix who liked to lie on
her back and sssllllloooowwwwwwlly extend her front paws, as if she was giving
some kind of expressive dance recital.

9) Bruno: mutt in the house next door to where my father once lived. Every week,
on the same day and at the same time, the guy who'd been collecting garbage in
the neighborhood for at least 10 years came through, and each time Bruno would
bark at him as if he were a terrorist saboteur.

10) Frank: Frank was my turtle for a few months during second grade. He mostly
sat in his tank with an inscrutable frown on his face.

What about Hello Kitty? or do you not consider Goddesses/Extra-Terrestrias
to be animals?
