"3 cats, a turtle and a lizard - Yay pet month!" So say's Hollie in today's survey of what pets readers have at home. While Hollie definitely seemed to be in the lead for sheer quantity, cats RULED our survey by a hefty margin. The difficulty with them? Keeping them from puking and scratching furniture to death (see comments). In the meantime, I dug up some seriously inspirational house tours and mini tours where man and beast live harmoniously and with style. Enjoy!
