Cath's fur baby
Name
Josh Deane

Age
2 years old

Breed
Long -haired Daschund

Some fun quirks or a little bit about them
Josh loves to eat apples and carrots, which he takes very gently, he loves to cuddle and spoon in bed, his paws smell like Fritos chips, he loves to be in the centre of all the action, he seriously loves humans, 

Good and bad habits
He loves his routines and is generally very good but sometimes hides under the bed at night when he does not want to be found and put into his own bed. He’s a champion runner and can easily do a 5km trail run. He loves to lie next to my desk (on his sheepskin rug) and snore while I work. I cannot imagine life without Josh – he brings sunshine to everyone he meets, and occupies a huge place in my heart.

Tay's rascals 
Name
Badger Julian Kriel
Freddie Cheese Kriel

Age
Badger: 6 Years Old
Freddie: 10 Months Old
Breed
Badger: Border Collie
Freddie: German Shepard

Some fun quirks or a little about them
Badger: My favourite toy is a ball and I love cream cheese frosting when dad sneaks it to me. I do not like a bath or water except if I can dip myself in the ocean. I am the best hugger and even hug better than some humans. I am friends with everybody because friends is fun.
Freddie: I am my mommy's baby and she goes to gym to hold me like one because everybody says I am big. I love toys and playing with my big brother, but he just wants to chill. I love water and it is so much fun to play with all of mom's green plant toys. They taste so good.

Good and bad habits
Badger: Scared of everything, and quite a picky eater -hate the vacuum
Freddie: Very clumsy and playful, will eat anything even his own 💩 - love the vacuum toy
 

Jaime's babies
Name
My Babies.

Age
All age groups - we have no time for ageism.

Breed
All kinds of species - but the more rare then obviously the better :) 

Some fun quirks or a little bit about them
They love me and majority of them I've propagated myself - so if you have any rare plants, send cuttings!

Good and bad habits
They're all very well behaved I barely hear them, ever. Also they're all super Thirsty (I hope this joke lands)

Val's pets
Name
Ice, Ghhacio & Dolche
Age
13, 2 & 13
Breed
Two swiss Shephard, Same breeder and a Yorkshire terrier
Some fun quirks or a little bit about them
For one, they all love my sister Bianca. They inhabit human form as I have never seen. 9 pm is bedtime, they complain until my sister takes them to bed. They love walks and tennis balls plus eating the leftover cat food. They all love huddling by the couch after a long day in their little day beds. We taught them the word spaso (which means let's go walking) and they run to the door with their leads in their mouth.

 

Good and bad habits

All three dogs prefer the cats' food to their own food. Our Yorkie begs for food every time we all sit and eat dinner at the table. My sister taught them how to sit, give paw and wait for snacks to be handed to them. Both the shepherds know how to play fetch as well as swim in the pool.
 

Mia's fur babies

Name
Kitty, Cream Puff, Noodle & Stevie
Age
Kitty is 13 years old, Stevie is six months, and my rabbits are around two years old.
Breed
All my pets are rescues! My rabbits are Jersey Woolies, and my cats are domestic long and short hairs.
Some fun quirks or a little bit about them
I got Kitty when I was 13 years old - she was my first cat. I instantly fell in love with her and we have such a deep connection. She is older now and lives with my parents as I couldn't get it over my heart to move her out of the home she grew up in into a one-bedroom apartment. Even though I don't see her every day and she isn't as young as my other furbabies, she will always be my baby.

My husband rescued Cream Puff from a bunny colony outside of Cape Town. Initially, I wasn't too keen to get a pet rabbit, but I instantly fell in love with her and became obsessed! A few months later, my husband insisted we get a friend for Cream Puff. I was hesitant at first, but then we visited a Bunny Rescue center and set up a play date where Cream Puff could interact with other rabbits. She and Noodle instantly clicked, and they've been inseparable ever since!

Fast forward to November 2021 - a friend of ours found a little black kitten all alone in the bush in South Africa. After seeing his Instagram story, my husband immediately said he would take him in. At that stage, he was four weeks old, and we didn't know whether he was a boy or a girl. I called him Stevie after my muse, Stevie Nicks, and we are honestly so in love with him!

 

Good and bad habits

The worst habit the buns have is that they love to chew on our cables! When they are not with my husband on our citrus farm, they are free-roaming in our apartment, and that has caused a few wire malfunctions (literally!) Their best habit is jumping on my bed at night for some cuddles, and waiting patiently by their breakfast bowl in the morning - it melts my heart!

Stevie's worst habit is he loves jumping on the dining room table and eating the food *literally* out of our plates! He knocks over our cups of tea and glasses of water - he is such a menace! His best habit is running to the front door every day when I get home from work, such a warm welcome! He follows me everywhere - he even jumps in the shower with me every morning!

Kitty get's cold quite easily so her worst habit is that she ALWAYS has to lie on someone's lap - it is a cute habit but she can be quite clingy! Her best habit is that she is just such a loving cat in general, she's always up for cuddles and kisses.



 
Hol's little baby

Name
Alfie
Age
13
Breed
Not sure what breed he is as we adopted him from a rescue shelter when he was 1.
Some fun quirks or a little bit about them
He's a big softie and will spend hours cuddled up on the sofa with you.

 

Good and bad habits

He's very talkative and will follow me around everywhere. He also has a habit of joining in on work calls and walking across my keyboard when I'm not looking!

Peachy is a crazy, little monster who turns into the cutest cuddly cat when sleepy

Laur's babas

Name
Murray (Furry Murray :) )
Yoko (Loko Yoko :) )
Age
Murray - we think about 7 or 8 but not sure as he is a rescue. 
Yoko – 1 year old
Breed
Murray - we think he is a Collie x German Shepherd by his colouring and handsomeness!
Yoko  he was an unplanned litter from a local family dog. Her mother was a small mixed breed, and she is probably 100 different things - but we think she looks like a Schnauzer x Maltese!
Some fun quirks or a little bit about them
Murray - He was in very bad shape when we took him in so we are so proud of so far he has come. He loves cuddles and ham or chicken, but his absolute favourite thing to do is go for walkies! He cannot contain his excitement when his harness comes out and starts jumping up and down with joy! :)
Yoko  She is full of fun and energy. She loves to run and play, and learns tricks really quickly. She LOVES food more than anything in the world so we need to keep a close eye on her!

 

Good and bad habits

Murray - He seems to think he is a little dog, and sometimes comes and sits on my lap and can’t understand why he cant get comfortable.  
Yoko  We trained her to ring a bell on the back door to go outside for the toilet which she picked up really quickly but recently, she has taken to ringing the bell and taking my seat when I get up to leave her out. Lol clever girl!!!

Kaam's fur child


Name
Nala
Age
1 year 9 months
Breed
British shorthair - White and Blue mix
Some fun quirks or a little bit about them
S he's a bit chonky, she's incredibly fluffy and loves a good brushing but she then sniffs her fallen hair, sneezes too much and gets upset with herself. She loves to photobomb pictures and if you give her a piece of string to chase she goes nuts.

 

Good and bad habits

Good Habit: She is so good at travelling, she loves her backpack carrier so taking her around with me is easy.

Bad Habit: She scratch's up my carpet so badly
