1 dog (who is my only child  ) We had a skunk (de-stinked, of course), but sadly he passed away a few years ago. Once our maintenance man came into the apartment while we were out and later remarked that he "was the biggest squirrel he had ever seen".

1 cat, 2 kids and 1 notme. I don't know what category the notme falls into because I've never seen it, but I know I have one because the kids swear it is responsible for all the bad stuff that happens around the house

3 permanent dogs, 2 "foster" dogs that are living with us through rescue organizations. At various times all will sleep in the bed with us.

I wouldn't mind at all if the cat actually slept on the bed, but she insists on standing on top of me and kneading her paws. Doesn't help much with the sleeping process.

The worst thing is when they wake me up at 5:30 on a Saturday morning, I can't go back to sleep, then they start taking naps.

I suspect I can top you all on pets. I have:
3 Horses
2 Ponys
4 Dogs
5 Cats
1 Cockateil
3 Chickens
1 Russian Tortoise
1 Neon Guppy
1 Large scary thing with big feet and loud toenails that
stalks the attic at night directly over my bed.

Pet Poll: 2 cats, lots of tropical fish, kid on the way!
Jules: re life expectancy of an indoor cat - 14 years average. Versus THREE years for an outdoor kitty.

Sounds like you need to put the cats in the attic.

1 indoor beagle
8 outdoor cats - since I feed them well the neighbors cats enjoy our home too.
3 fish
who knows how many mice 
3 coons (they seem to like our loft in the barn)

I love the "notme"! My son can't get away with that as he is an only child, but believe it or not, he does try to blame the cat!

Ok - 5 is enough. I may have as many mice as you do though. . .

No pets.
No kids. (at home anyway, although I entertain my 3 year old grandson just about every Saturday. Looking forward to getting him out on the fishing boat this year.)
No spouse.
Can't say I have no worries.

Just 1 cat, but thinking of getting another. Maybe that would give her company so she'd leave us alone at night. We've tried closing the door but she just scratches at it till my husband throws his slipper at the door, then she goes away for awhile 
We bought a screen door for our bedroom. Lets the nice breeze through our room, keeps the air/heat/cool circulating, but the cats can't get in a shed all over the bed!

Mine would climb the screen and then hang there and howl. We just give in and let them sleep with us. Nice except at 4am when they stomp up to see if I am awake (well, I am NOW, aren't I. That's ok, these days I'm up at that time pretty regularly anyways.)
