Sleep issues and a new job mean I'm hardly playing (too tired after work during the week, and I spend a lot of time sleeping on the weekends... or at least trying), so I just finished the Shadowlands Safari, and just picked my (first) allegience yesterday.
Now I get to work on the rest of the pets. ;)

About Tiggindy:
My priorities in the game are as follows:
1. Collect pets
2. Level pets (including quality upgrades if necessary)
3. Everything else
The story of my obsession:
I got my first pet the day I started WoW, the the Bombay cat, and it was just too great! I didn't have enough bag space to buy them all, so I contented myself with the one to start.
Soon after that I saw the panda cub, and was disappointed to learn that it was CE only. I decided I wanted as many pets as I could get anyway. I spent a lot of time on info sites looking up pets. The whelplings were as cute as the panda, and I could get them. (Yay!) I leveled from 23 to 41 (with little rest XP) while hunting the 3 different whelplings.
When I started an alt I didn't want to be without a whelpling, so I camped another set, and did it again for every alt I made.
By the time vanilla ended, I had 10 alliance toons on 2 accounts, each with all 3 whelplings, plus an assortment of other pets (each toon had 1 pack devoted to just pets for everyday, plus bunches more in the bank), plus a set of whelplings waiting for the new draenei after BC was released.
The announcement of the pet tab at the end of BC sent me into a frenzy, I went around and made sure I had all the vendor pets, plus as many other pets as I could lay my hands on for every toon on both accounts. Of course, I had to create a spreadsheet to keep track of which toons had what pets.
At some point I purchased the WoW laptop (a couple days after they'd been discontinued), so I got my original CE pets that way. Hooray Panda!
Before MoP dropped, I peaked at 2112 pets spread across 18 toons (that's an average of over 117 per toon). Pre-MoP I simply deleted all the common/vendor pets from my journal. When MoP dropped, I caged and listed around 750 rare(-ish) pets on the AH, which made me fairly rich.
Of course, with account wide pets, pet leveling and quality upgrades, my obsession stepped up a notch. I spent the first few months collecting, leveling and upgrading all my pets. I just did the pet dailies, and some regular pet battles each day. I didn't raid, run dungeons or even level alts unless basically forced to.
I hope to one day win the lottery so I can afford to buy Murky from ebay so I can have a truly complete collection.
