The last cat died a bit more than a year ago. My husband said "no more"! :-(
So no animals except the neighbour's cat who thinks she owns the whole neighbourhood and the pesky squirrels which regularly dig up my garden.

We live here on the farm with cows, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, pigeons. We have had goats, pigs, doves, quail, milkcow, all kinds of critters here but now that the kids are gone we don't have as much as we used to. Hubby even keeps a few bees.

Temecula, CA(Zone 8b)

We raise horses, yet have four doggies and raise earthworms to digest the horse manure and release lots of beneficial insects for a variety of pest control issues including barn flies.

One pooch, a smiling Samoyed that we welcomed into our lives and home almost a year ago, when she was nearly a year old. No cats, as we have several bluebird houses, and are happy to report many generations have nested in our yard over the past several years. We also have dozens of shubunkin, comets and plain goldfish in our ponds.

Rabbits, possum, coyotes, deer all sometimes wander into the yard, but they're definitely not pets, and are not terribly welcome.

One Golden Retriever 'Yogi', 2 cats 'Skittles and Poppycorn', 2 snakes "Bisquit" a Ball Python and "Cleo" my Rainbow Boa!!!! Very tame, LOL.

San Antonio, TX(Zone 8b)

Several cats, plus assorted wildlife: possums that like to claim tomatoes and tangerines, squirrels that raid the bird feeders, an occasional gecko or toad, baby snakes (have yet to see a grown one) and a myriad collection of insects.

Langley, WA(Zone 7b)

Saya, wow, you're dog can read a foreign language! LOL Our dog barks like crazy if she sees any other animals on tv. If it's another dog, she goes beserk. This makes it hard to watch tv with her in the room!

We have two dogs and mason bees. Will hopefully be adding chickens, ducks, and geese next spring.

Dry Ridge, KY(Zone 6a)

1 tarantula, 1 big dog and a bin of redworms. I would love to have chickens but can't here.

L.A. (Canoga Park), CA(Zone 10a)

We have some goldfish and koi. They all have names. They're hard to photograph, but this is Silky.

I'd guess I'll vote the first choice, seeing as you don't have "humans" listed I guess "other" will have to do.
I have two, Tim, & Paulette. I've owned them since I was just a "pup".
They're pretty well house broken now, and do most things I want them to. They do think they "own" the place but I'm working on that every day. I still have to beg to get them to drive me around, and I have to keep at least one of them on a leash when I take them for a walk. But all things considered they're pretty good, as most humans go.

I have one chocolate lab, Charlie Brown. He's definately a blockhead, he's gone through three windows. Though a little "tetched" in the head, he's the sweetest thing, ever! :)

We have a poodle, Tippy and a chinchilla, Zack.

Just a cat named "Mad Max". He's 8 years old but you'd never know it. In the mornings he spazzes out, jumps high in the air, does 360's - dashes away quickly hoping someone will chase him down. He's a ham.

Mystic, CT(Zone 6b)

This is Tippy: He does not have dirt on his face or fleas. That is dust on my camera lens.

Oh, wait, that might be dust on my computer screen! I guess I better get out the cleaner!

We have four cats, two fish tanks, a pond awaiting some goldfish from a friend, and our newest addition: six chicks! We got two each of three kinds: Rhode Island Reds, White Leghorns, and Americaunas, which will lay brown, white, and green eggs respectively. We already have friends lining up for green eggs, even though they won't lay for months yet... :)
