My Dog was a very pleasant and loving Companion to me, for no less than sixteen Years of my Time, and then dy'd, of meer old Age; as for my Cats, they multiply'd as I have observ'd to that Degree, that I was oblig'd to shoot several of them at first, to keep them from devouring me, and all I had; but at length, when the two old Ones I brought with me were gone, and after some time continually driving them from me, and letting them have no Provision with me, they all ran wild into the Woods, except two or three Favourites, which I kept tame; and whose Young when they had any, I always drown'd; and these were part of my Family: Besides these, I always kept two or three houshold Kids about me, who I taught to feed out of my Hand; and I had two more Parrots which talk'd pretty well, and would all call Robin Crusoe; but none like my first; nor indeed did I take the Pains with any of them that I had done with him.

至于我的那些猫，前面也已说过，由于繁殖太多，我不得不开枪打死了几只，免得它们把我的东西通通吃光。后来，我从船上带下来的两只老猫都死了，我又不断地驱逐那些小猫，不给它们吃东西，结果它们都跑到树林里去，变成了野猫。只有两三只我喜欢的小猫被我留在家里驯养起来。可是每当它们生出小猫时，我就把小猫投在水里淹死。这些都是我家庭的一部分成员。另外我身边还养了两三只小山羊，教会它们在我手里吃东西。此外，还养了两只鹦鹉，也会说话，也会叫"鲁宾逊"，可都比不上第一只说得那么好；当然，我在它们身上花的功夫也没有第一只那么多。
