Chickens! Useful as well as cute. Not very cuddly tho.
We had a couple of ex battery hens, and a mixture of different breeds. Their names are / were (some of them have since died) Ariel, Silver, Snow White, Black Beauty, Pepper, Fluffy, Reddy and Elsa. I think their names say alot about how old my sisters and I were when we named them, as they are all either a description of their appearance or a Disney princess lol.
