Parrots or Monkeys?

[Pirate Petee]

I know what ya mean about razors. This little girl is Cleo, shes a Bengal. She doesn't mean to tear ya up, but she will and boy can she jump. I'm 6'4" and she can hit my shoulders easy.

Bengal Cat

[tishsparrow]

aw, she's adorable!

my cats are a bit bigger than what id want perched on my shoulder. Precious is the oldest, about 10, and when last weighed she was 23 pounds (but she lost some, so she probably weighs about 17 by now). She's a calico. Cranky as anything anymore.

callie is a rescue. we got her from a shelter. pure black except for one bitty white spot, with gold eyes. she's gotta weigh about 20, and because she's longhair, she looks like 25 pounds. she's sweet though, i swear you could actually play catch with her and she'd just sit there and purr away.

This article from the Daily Jones Locker tackles this very question...

Not a purebred Mainecoon, but at least 90% He's 20lbs now.

But I wouldn't take him on a boat... he's a great mouser but he's clumsy as all get-out. He'd be overboard in a matter of hours.

As for the question of parrot vs. monkey... I'd take the monkey. I worked in a pet store for a number of years and couldn't stand the squawking of the birds... especially the Maccaws. We had one Royal Blue who NEVER shut up... always screaming at the customers.

if it must be a perchin pet, then I would be ahvin to go with a parrot. If could be any pet not necessarily a perchin' one, then I would be havin to take a turn for a German Sheppard. Don't Have one but always wanted one and you can train him to fetch and guard....Like yer treasure from yer dishonest mates.

[Cpt Sophia M Eisley]

I'll say cat. I wouldn't mind having a furry feline to accompany me on a voyage over the seven seas, and curl up on my lap or wrap around my neck. My second choice would be parrot, as my parents have a conyer (he's like a small parrot) named Oliver, and he'd be a great accompaniment to any crew.

[lady snow]

gotta go with the monkey, but a lemur would be quite the cool percher too!

[oderlesseye]

MY wife just got me a dirty talkin Parrot..An Batteries too.. :)

[El Capitan']

I never really was inte the common bird. I'll take me monkey. :)

[lady renee]

i voted for the parrot because i always like bright exotic things.

[Charity]

I am a cat lover, on the Crossing Blades i am called "Cat"CharityBarbossa.

I would have a black cat with me most likely

[tishsparrow]

oh, i need to post the pic of me pirate kitty. she got all dressed up!

poor cat, i do horrible things to her sometimes...

[Capt. Morgan]

Gotta go with either an African Grey Parrot, or a Siamese cat... grew up with both... awesome animals, unbelievably smart...

was yer byrd drunk too???

he looks a bit typsy

[LadyBarbossa]

Hmmm.... I can't really say other.. but...

I've the Drunken Monkey at the moment, but he'll be a gift to one of the Barbossa's out there whom I know doesn't have the monkey yet. Granted, the Drunken Monkey is a non-living, stuffed critter.

I've now my little pirate kitty. His name is Boo. But the way he acts, I may have to change his name!

Though, he acts like the little Prince of the world, he's no fear whatsoever (no joke!), adores anything that shimmers & can grab his attention (as he was playin' with my Cursed Aztec Gold medallion that hung from my neck today. Wouldn't want to let it go... I had to pry it from his claws since he was darn near chokin' me!)... and he attacks without a care other than for his pleasure. He's the perfect little pirate kitty!

He's the sleekest, deepest black as you've ever seen with the tips of his paws perfectly white, a white patch on his chest and his belly somewhat in the shape of a diamond! & yes, he loves to sit upon your shoulder at times. 4 months old & he's already a hell of a cat! He's slightly larger than his sisters body frame wise, generally the size of him mama. Last I looked... his eyes were like gazing at the ocean on a darkened night.

First expedition to Petsmart & he enjoyed himself greatly! No fear of a vehicle nor afraid of being in it, was gawking out the window with utter curiousity & enjoyed being adore by people while at the store.

But he loves the trinkets that capture his attention. Mostly it's things that shimmer and shine.

I'll have to get a picture of him... as well as he upon my shoulder whilst I am in my pirate outfit.

Now... if I could, I'd have myself a white tiger! One that would be lots like Boo, just bigger & deadlier!

A couple dogs would be interesting. Be like the Hounds of Hell!

Course a Friesian horse would be grand for that land roving when ashore for some pillaging. Tis that Dragoon in me that desires that.

Hmmm... a falcon would be right good to have as well.

But... my little pirate kitty is my current choice. He a critter after my own heart.

[Captain Emerald Shaunassey]

At present, there be no critter perching on my shoulder. Don't really care for monkeys a'tall and parrots are pretty but an expensive animal to care for. M'cats are lap cats only and don't care much for being toted around on the shoulder.

Ah well, one less thing I have to lug around a faire with me all day long.
