Request for Recommendations
This past weekend, I got a cat. She's very cute and affectionate (I picked her because she was very good at prostituting herself for attention at the humane society) and like all cats, she really likes sitting on my computer.
Because I'm so full of "new pet owner/slave" glee, I've decided I want to read comics (or books) with pets in them. They could be talking or not, have powers or not. I don't mind either way.
So recommend me something? What's your favorite fictional pet?

Barbara Hambly's novel Bride of the Rat God has three excellent Pekineses in it. It's a good book in and of itself, too.

You cannot go wrong with Christian Slade comic "Korgi" which is about corgis.

As much as I couldn't stand the first issue, Dark Horse came out with Beasts of Burden awhile back which a lot of people seem to dig.

You could always go with Terry Pratchett's "The Amazing Maurice and his educated rodents". The cat and the rats got themselves a nice and cute human pet :D

In David R. Palmer's novel Emergence, the main character has a pet macaw who plays a significant part.
There's always Bunnicula, but I haven't actually read those since I was a kid.

The Jones family's husky/malamute, Indiana. Left quite an impression on their son, so I understand.

I second The Amazing Maurice.
I would also suggest anything with Streaky in - Supergirl cosmic adventures in the 8th grade, Grant Morrion's Animal Man, Wednesday Comics Supergirl strip.
And Power Girl's cat. Those JLA issues where he first turned up are a particular favourite.

If you're okay with manga, there's Chi's Sweet Home. There's also What's Michael, if you can find any issues. (Does Sgt. Frog count? He's not really a pet . . .)
