Hmm...Ringo at my Oma's(Grandma's) house used to be huge. He was too big to sit on your lap, and weighed something like 22 pounds.
When he streched(laying down) out he was 1 foot wide, and 2 feet long, and almost 1 foot high.
Unfortunetly he had trouble walking lots, and after he got sick(16 yrs) had to be put down.
Briskit(our old cat) died from cancer at 22.
Trixy(my new cat ) is 4 years old, and VERY energetic..."Stop chasing the budgies and rabbit!"
Max, a stray, was brought in by mom. One day my brother caught him behind the gate on our patio(he was staring at the budgies through the window) and mom fell in love with him. Even though he's an ornery cat with knotted fur, hair balls, sweats(fur gets really sticky) and has long furry hair that gets gross after he crawls through grasses and bushes, she still loves him. He eats lots though.
Furry, the rabbit, is 8 years old. She's very old, even though she gets 3 smarties in the morning every day.
It's kinda funny...if you don't give her 3 smarties, she'll come chasing after you looking for more...
The budgies(Sammy, the oldest, Stratus, Misty, and.....hmm, just got the fourth one, haven't came up with a name yet ..... live in a big cage, 1x2x2m. The new one loves flying, which is why it's good they have a big cage.
We used to have a hamster, 2 mice, 2 rats, a dog, another cat, 5 gerbils over a 6 years, and another budgie. The other budgie escapped though, and flew off out the patio door. Stratus(named that because of her grey feathers that look almost like the Stratosphere) has never been the same since he flew away.
I used to have several fishes and several hamsters but they all died. My bro's latest hamster turned into a cannibal after his first taste of blood when biting the finger of a friend of mine. He ate all his babies, then ate his mate. As much as it sounds as some cheap zombie hamster story, it's very true.
I also had a pigeon once. We left her outside in her cage the first night we got her and the next day, her head was lying in the cage without the body. I think a lizard ate her. The scene was disturbing... should've taken a picture of it. And yes, another very true story.
My classmates also raised a few fishes a while ago. I used to watch them swim around whenever I got bored. Then one of the fishes died. The other fishes started munching on its body and they died during the weekend. The fishes that didn't eat body died a bit later from the poison water filled with fish corpses. Yet another true story.
I also owned a few other hamsters and fishes a few years back in my old house, but they died naturally (I think).
I guess I'm doomed never to have pets. Right now, the only pet I've got is that girl I raised in Princess Maker 2. I mean, kids count as pets as well, right? I feel sorry for whatever sad guy marries me .

3 hamsters: no. 1 eats no. 2 no.2 attacks no. 3, no. 3 kills no.1 figure that out... no.3 found dead 2 weeks later (no.3 was mine as well - he was called Gordon the Gopher-Hamster because he squeeked a lot)
had a dog... got arthiritis... got put down

Twas brillig, and the slivey toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe,
All mimsy were the borogroves,
And the momewraths outgrabe.
Ok, if Bob=1, Larry=2, and Gordon=3
1 eats 2, but regergitates him, 2 attacks 3, but 3 kills 1
Bob eats Larry, but regergitates him, then Larry attacks Gordon, but Gordon kills Bob.
