Do they all get along? Cats and dogs? Cats and fish?

St.Bernards were raised alongside cats, so they are used to them and there usually aren't any problems. They get along pretty fine. They are pretty docile and friendly dogs anyway.
Now, regarding fish, some cats take great interest in them, but they have no way of "accessing" the aquarium, despite their best efforts, so thankfully no problems there either.

Better save some money ioan. Our cat eats better than we do

Weirdly, considering all, my pets require far more money for food altogether than me and my better half.

But then again when you're addicted there's no way back!

Absolutely. I couldn't imagine not having any animals in my home.

I've got a couple of fish and a snail myself.

ioan, I have to ask — while I can understand the companionship, etc, that people may get from a dog or a cat, or that fish and the like are pleasantly decorative... what do you get out of owning a snail?

To be honest the snail I have (generic picture, but it looks just like the one in my aquarium):



is far more decorative than my fish (again not an actual picture of my fish, but they do look exactly like these):



On top of it it keeps the aquarium glass clean from algae.

Also both these fish and the snail are highly entertaining to watch! You have to see it to believe it!

BTW I'd love to keep a cat and a dog, however I would not do it before I get a house with a large back yard.

I used to have a pet rabbit. My wife and I once went out for a walk with him keeping him in our arms. One stray cat took a really great interest in our little friend and followed us for a while till he realized we were not an easy prey for him. Cats are predators like no other species.

Los Angeles Man Wakes In The Night To Find 500-pound Bear Raiding His Fridge | Fox News

Los Angeles man wakes in the night to find 500-pound bear raiding his fridge
Published March 15, 2012

LOS ANGELES – A Los Angeles man investigating noises coming from his garage in the middle of the night stumbled upon a 500-pound black bear, with food all over its face, raiding his fridge.
Glendale resident Joey Ball said the hungry bear tore through his freezer, eating tuna and Costco meatballs.
"He had steam coming out of his nose, and he had food on his face. It was crazy!" Ball told KTLA on Wednesday.
The bear apparently entered the garage through an outside door that had been left open.
"He had the refrigerator door open," Ball said. "And he had all these drawers laying around and there was food everywhere.
"As soon as I saw him, he looked at me, I thought, 'uh-oh!' So I locked the door on the dead bolt.
"You could hear him eating, slapping his gums."
Ball called police, who arrived with shotguns, but the bear had already made its escape into the surrounding hills.
