Dreaming of an exotic pet...

I've heard about people in a city near mine owning a lion. My parents' friends were their neighbours, and they have moved since because it roared too loudly. :relax:

What about you ? Do you secretly wish you had a cute pet cobra ? A tarantula with smooth, fine hairy legs ? A fluffy arctic fox ? A white tiger to defend your house against burglars at night ?
Not that you would go out of your way to actually acquire your dream pet... just a silly idea that crossed your mind : "What if I could adopt a lion cub ?" :)

I've actually dreamt of owning a cheetah ; in my dream it was running after the mailman like our dogs do. :lol: It would be the only big cat I would consider owning... and it's got non-retractible claws and a big black nose just like a dog too. :D
I've also thought about a spotted hyena. I actually find them cute, unlike most people. And I mean, can you imagine ? Instead of barking at night, it would cackle. I can picture the neighbours' reactions already. :lol:

If you've owned an exotic pet, you can tell about it in halfbreedlover's Unusual pets (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=114744) thread _ this is mainly for fun speculation and crazy wishes. :D

Nothing too big, I want a fruit bat -like a greyheaded from Australia.
The worst thing you can keep are predators, why would anybody want a predator that could end up eating your neighbor?!

Just make sure not to starve them. :D

I'd love to have a cheetah as well. Monkeys have always sounded good as well :D

My mom always wanted a baby elephant, for me I would take a jaguar (the black kind :love:).

My ultimate pet that I would have in my dream life filled with no obligations and plenty of money to care for everything would be a polar bear. They're really amazing creatures, and they'd probably be less fickle than a big cat. I'd love a lion or snow leopard, but big cats are too unpredictable, and I'd probably be afraid of them. Whereas...a polar bear just looks like a big, fluffy pushover. XD

I've always loved falcons, wolves, foxes and raccoons. Just one (probably a wolf!) would be enough for me!
But that's probably never going to happen... :(

:D

I've always wanted a pet wolf. Or a black jaguar, that id name "Inky". :D But I also want a snow lepord, a panda bear, or a cheetah. And I think lion cubs are the cutest things ever!

They are! I'd want a wolf, a fox, or a coyote! :p

I want an ocelot. For those of you who haven't heard of it, they are sort of like a mini leopard, and they live in the jungles of Mexico. (I think they also live somewhere in the UK, but I'm not sure.) :shrug:

Reposting since the last time I posted was sometime in 2009. XD
I love fennec foxes, they're amazing. Though I don't think that's ever going to happen. :P
