Because this gives me joy, some pets in the 1911 census (cty @genesreunited)

🐕Roger the Airedale Terrier. Born in Keighley & living in Dulwich, his marital status was uncertain but he was supposed to have 'something over 100' children
@genesreunited 🐈 Tomcat Tobit Crackitt of Birkenhead, who did not let the infirmity of being 'speechless' hold him back in life. Married with 16 children, he had a successful career as a professional mousecatcher & thief
@genesreunited 🐶 11-year old Biddy, an Irish terrier. She was lovingly described by her human as a 'Magnificent Watch' & 'a Demon on cats & vermin'
@genesreunited 🦜🐩🐩🐕🐦 The non-human residents/employees of the Northumberland Arms in Tottenham were not forgotten: a cock parrot, three dogs and a canary
@genesreunited As part of the Glasspoole family in Wembley:
🐶Spot the dog
🐱Tom the cat
🐔🐔🐔11 White Wyandotte chickens

Their human does not intrude on their personal lives by speculating on their marital statuses, but insists that they are "BRITISH"
@genesreunited 😺 Bobs the black cat was born "in a stable in Ipswich" before being brought into his human's shop. By the age of just one was already forging a successful career as a "nomad" and mouse hunter. He conducted his work "At home, mostly"
