Willow.  The oldest of the pets is Willow.  She's lived with Amanda since 2000--that's a few years longer than Brent!  Willow is named after a character on the TV series Buffy.  She likes lettuce, ice cream, mealtime, being on the back porch, and her stuffed penguin, Linus.  She hates to have her belly rubbed.  Weighing in at 17 pounds, she's our Willow!
Luna.  Joining the family in 2008, Luna was named after the Harry Potter character, Luna Lovegood.  She was living at the Coles County Animal Shelter when we first met her.  She was, by far, the most unattractive cat at the shelter.  We knew immediately that she should come with us.  She cleaned up nicely and has made a perfect addition to the household.  Luna enjoys bedtime, being in the loft, and playing with Poe.  She hates to be groomed.
Poe.  Adopted in 2008, Poe (named after Edgar Allan Poe) is a parrotlet, the second smallest species of parrot.  He enjoys Italian music, sunflower seeds, millet, and lots of attention.  He antagonizes the cats and then bites them on the noses.  Poe doesn't like being alone or ignored.  When asked to "dance like daddy," Poe stands on one leg.
Molly.  Molly was adopted in 2010.  She was named after Molly Weasley.  Not only does Molly think she's a cat, she thinks she's the leader of the clowder.  She's even litter trained (...well, 99% of the time).  She enjoys cranberries, alfalfa, and terrorizing anything that breathes.
Chi.  Initially a classroom pet, we became too attached to Chi to let him stay at school on weekends.  So he started coming home on Fridays.  Then he started coming home more and more often.  Now he's a permanent resident at our house.  Chi loves snacks of all kinds.  And his belly shows it.  He also likes dust baths and his exercise wheel.  He doesn't like Molly.
