Do all the pets in your household belong to you?

Technically, only Tia is mine. The gerbils belong to my brother. However, I always say I have a rat and three gerbils, just as my parents and my brother would say the same. We sort of have 'collective ownership' as well as a certain person who looks after the animal.

All of the pets in the household are mine. That's Jasper, Liberty, Hazel, and Chubby.

Skylar, Larry(the ferret), the lovebirds, Kayla, & Melani belong to my sister.
Don, Norri, Khaith, Frisk, the rats, the mice, the hamsters, and all of the fish belong to me.

Tango is mine, aswell as the two bettas. That's all though. The other dogs, the fish, the toads, etc. all belong to my parents.

The M&M's are family dogs - just like any other animal would be if it was brought into this family. The Betta is mine - since no one else in my family doesn't really care about fish. lol

Dogs: Micki and Jack (the other three are family dogs)
Cats: Motchka (Jasper and Batman are family cats)
Guinea pigs: both mine
Gecko: mine

The pets that are mine I care for financially. Pay for everything for the guinea pigs and gecko, the cat and dogs I pay their vet bills, licenses, etc. When I talk about my dogs though I refer them all as mine because I was their main caretaker (before I left, lol).
