Wow it's great to hear about everyones pets, so I think I'll share.  We have three indoor cats named Josephine Baker, Norma Jean and Anastasia (her close friends call her Annie).  We also feed a a core group of 6 neighborhood cats.  Of course we've named them as well.  They are Princess, Patches, Fuzzy, Emily, Red, and G.E. (Golden Eyes).
Periodically we are blessed by the appearances of Bozo, Big Silver and Baxter.  Almost all of the cats have been fixed.
We also have an aviary attached to the side of our garage.  Housed there are 5 doves, 1 pigeon (Anderson is her name) and our chickens.  The chickens are all related (not by marriage).  The alpha group consist of Thurston, Ginger, Spearmint and Peppermint.  The beta group consists of 3 roosters (two named Thurston) and 2 hens.  The yougsters and largerest chickens of the group are two silky mixes; one rooster and one hen. 
We have a koi pond with goldfish and a couple of koi.  The pond is visited in the spring and fall by a heron who tries to feed.  So we stock feeder goldfish in the pond to feed it.  Since we don't know the sex of that bird we have named it Chris Heron.

Nice to know there are so many cat lovers on this
list!

We moved to a pet-free/allergy-free building this
June, so we had to give up our one cat, "Misty". That
was hard, but he's (yes, "Misty" is a male...I didn't
name him) gone back to his original owner, and I get
to visit him from time to time.

We now have a Japanese fighting fish (gift from a
friend, for my daughter Emma) and a very new addition,
our first Hamster, "Smartie". Not as much fun as a
cat, but a pet nonetheless.
