PC Engine FX Pets!!

Post pictures and stories about your pets here.

I would post a picture of my cat, but he cannot be captured with a camera. He is not photogenic and disappears at the site of any camera.

nat · 04/10/2008, 07:31 PM

So Joe beat me to it.

But here's my family:

This is where they nap most days while I'm at work. Usually my arrival home gets them up for the evening.

Digi.k · 04/10/2008, 07:36 PM

My cat. He was given to me around 1997.. I'd just came back from Hong Kong and FFVII Fever just hit America.. I went to visit this games shop that was being run in their own home.. the lady there said her cat just had kittens and had this ginger kitten which she said she despised so I took him since my father died around christmas 06 and thought it would be a good idea to add another member to the family and named the cat Cloud McStrife...top pic was the kitten days..

/cloudmcstrife.jpg

Had a Shih Tzu around 2000.. Which I named Fu cause in the orient they are called Fu Dogs ( I hope >.>) anyway after 6 months of owning him and as he was growing up I began to cough and wheeze and discovered that I was allergic to the poor thing. He ended up being re homed to some lady I knew who just had a bereavement..

The early days was hell on that carpet... I never really had much time to bond with the doggy but man looking after him was like looking after a young kid.. BUt in the short amount of time I spent with him I managed to teach the dog the sit and stay commands and I knew that he was one intelligent pup ^__^

I hope this doesn't turn into another road kill thread.

Nat, your cat looks like one of mine.

It shouldn't, now that kitsune's gone.

I am currently a servant to 7 cats. however, 3 of them are all but wild, and flee from my presence.

Tippy, my best buddy

Doublestuff, queen bitch of the house.

Mama cat, Doublestuff's mom. Not terribly photogenic.

Coming soon: sweet baby. But she's black too, so don't expect much.

TR0N · 04/10/2008, 11:07 PM

Here's my cat her name is angel dunno though she is far from being one

/AngelKitty.jpg

I adopted her from the spca a few years ago.

Keranu · 04/11/2008, 12:34 AM

So many cat owners here! I'll post my dogs and parakeets pics if I find any.

bust3dstr8 · 04/11/2008, 01:00 AM

The Labs are Ollie(yellow) and Bailey(choco).
The tank is 135gal African Cichlids with a few others tossed in too.
We also have a cat, but she is the shunned one for stealing my chicken dinner.

Already posted these on here but these are the pictures I've got onhand:

Tikus:

Her name is malay for mouse. When she was young she'd often get up on her hind legs and look up (for no apparent reason). Reminded me of what rodents do when they sniff the air.

Taches:

Her name could be considered the equivalent to "Spot" (or actually Spots) in French.

MurderDate · 04/11/2008, 10:19 AM

this thread rules.. I love animals - would LOVE a dog and some cats. I lived with a Jindo and a German Sheppard/Lab mix until the fall & miss them terribly.

esteban · 04/12/2008, 10:21 AM

I have a few cats as well.

digi.k, your cat (with the weasel face!) is just like my own weasel-cat, Mr. Missy! In the other thread, you posted a pic of your cat sleeping and I said to myself, "Damn weasels are everywhere!"

Thats a hell of a tank bust3dstr8, very nice indeed!!!!... and i love labs, the looks they give you with those floppy ears

Say HI to Geronomo my demon cat!!!...
my buddy saw this picture and said he looks like he has a santy claus beard

EDIT : Nat one of your cats could be a brother or sister to geronomo!!

nat · 04/14/2008, 11:47 AM

Damn Sparky, that cat looks exactly like my cat only with less black and more white. Maybe they are long lost cousins. The same breed, at the very least.

MurderDate · 04/14/2008, 11:49 AM

wonderfully groomed pets. I want a hair style like that cat, Sparky!! Very cool.

Joe Redifer · 04/14/2008, 07:38 PM

Sparky does your cat cough up a lot of hairballs?

Sparky · 04/14/2008, 09:06 PM

Quote from: Joe Redifer on 04/14/2008, 07:38 PMSparky does your cat cough up a lot of hairballs?

With that long hair, ooooooh ya, he usually does that in the middle of the night in the bedroom

what a sound to wake up to!!!
The thing with animals is when you finally get around to cleaning your Vaccum/Central Vaccum system the amount of hair you have collected is almost as big as your animal.

Mobius · 04/14/2008, 10:58 PM

This thread needs more dogs... Here's my mom's dog, Murphy. Not technically mine, since I moved out a while ago, but gotta break up the cat-fest in here!

Keranu · 04/15/2008, 05:35 AM

Nice dog! I'm suprised there have only been like two or three dog pics posted.

Joe Redifer · 04/15/2008, 03:15 PM

That's because more people on this board have PC Engines than TurboGrafx-16s. And if you have a PC Engine, you are in love with the whole concept of everything Japanese and actually prefer it to whatever is your native culture simply because of games and anime/manga. And Japan hates dogs.

Nazi NecroPhile · 04/15/2008, 03:20 PM

Bullshit, they're delicious.

Don't ya just love stereotypes?

SignOfZeta · 04/15/2008, 08:11 PM

No, Japan just likes quiet.

bust3dstr8 · 04/15/2008, 10:23 PM

To refute Redifer's statement, I am a PCE guy and I fooking hate the cat. I have a potato sack and a river allready in mind for the little beasty. The only thing keeping it alive is that I love the girl more than I hate the cat.

Cats make Ollie sad

Love the dog pics!!

I'll be able to post some tonight I think.

PCEngineFX · 04/22/2008, 03:11 PM

Wow, so many cats! I love it! Here are the two official cats of pcengine-fx.com:

/n681232399_777988_3665.jpg

Her name is Momo and was originally my wife's cat. She makes sure to keep me company when I'm working on the site in my office. Oh and she loves to scratch up my Turbo magazines (BAD!).

2nd is my sister's cat, Rez:

/n681232399_777989_3929.jpg

Rez is an outdoor/indoor cat which will bring presents to my sister in the form of a dead, bleeding bird. Nothing is more funny than seeing Rez drag a bloody carcass across the floor (good thing she has hardwood floors).

guyjin · 04/22/2008, 04:48 PM

Momo looks kinda paranoid in that pic.

We used to have indoor/outdoor cats, until we had one that turned out to be an avian serial killer. Ever since then, they've all been inside.

also, I should warn you: that cat got into a fight with some neighborhood stray who had FeLV, and eventually died of it.

Ceti Alpha · 04/22/2008, 05:11 PM

OK, back to K-9s.

Meet Brooke:

I couldn't find my pictures of her with her winter coat on. I hope I didn't lose them when I was backing up files.

Anyway, she's a sweetheart, but she would chase all these cats until there was no tomorrow. lol

Sparky · 04/22/2008, 05:44 PM

haha ceti my cat has a beard and your dog looks like she has a Toupée

... just teasing man,

My dog seems to be growing a beard to move attention away from her wig. lol

Sparky · 04/27/2008, 08:43 AM

ok so the cat was not enough so we got this little guy yesterday

8 months and he is called Diesel

dog and cat are fighting huge, and the cat is winning most rounds!!!

guyjin · 04/27/2008, 03:59 PM

Ceti Alpha · 04/27/2008, 08:55 PM

Yeah, that's pretty darn cute.

Sparky · 04/27/2008, 11:23 PM

ya a great little guy, but i forgot that little dogs can get yippy sometimes

oh the neighbours are going to love him!!!

Mixed breeds are indeed the best type, as they're usually healthier and more even tempered.

How big, and how old?

Is that thing going to outlive you Michael? Will he be playing the TG in the 22nd Century?

Joe Redifer · 04/29/2008, 06:09 PM

I had a turtle once when I was a kid. I was playing with him in my backyard one day when I spontaneously decided to go play with a friend or do something else. So I put a shoebox over the turtle who was in the middle of the grass. He escaped and I never found him... until 6 months later. He had crawled across the entire lawn and under the patio. I was digging around under there for some other reason and pulled the turtle out. There he was... sans eyeballs and completely frozen. I took him inside and cried to my mom to see if there was anything she could do. She put him in the freezer! WTF? I need to ask her to explain her logic about that one.

Nazi NecroPhile · 04/29/2008, 06:19 PM

What kind of turtle is that Michael? Looks like a painted turtle, but my turtle knowledge isn't exactly honed to a razor's edge; I do know that my nephew has a red eared slider, and it definitely doesn't look like that dude/dudette (I can't sex turtles either).

If anything will cure a frozen reptile, it's more freezing. Common knowledge.

she probably didn't want it stinking up the house.

I'm not sure,they have the same type of turtle in a indoor mini pond at work,and its about 10 inchs long at 9 years of age.

Its a red ear slider. The color type is slight diff on the shell,due to coming from Florida in captive breeding.

Hmmm, my nephew's turtle doesn't have any striping on its skin; maybe its still too little and will gain 'em when it's a bit older.

drdre · 09/13/2008, 09:45 PM

Sorry, no pics as all my pets have died

That being said, my 'pets' consisted (throughout the years) of a ball python, like a friggan dozen scorpions (one was preggers), two giant vietnamese centipedes that ate live mice, a couple praying mantis', a black widow (kept it in a plastic cup above my bed

), a mexican rosehair tarantula, some hermit crabs, numerous lizards, and a god awful, long lived, foul shit filled oscar (fish). And I had a hamster when I was like 6.

These were my 'personal' pets-family pets included a dog and two cats (a bit more conventional, right?)
