Paris Hilton thinks she will be a good mother—because she has “a lot of beautiful animals.”

The 27-year-old socialite — who is currently dating Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden — says she is desperate to have children and believes caring for her large collection of animals has prepared her for motherhood.

“I have a lot of beautiful animals that I look after and I feel I would have a lot to give my children,” she said.

The hotel heiress — who was recently investigated by Los Angeles authorities after revealing she had 17 dogs, 14 more than city bylaws allow — once claimed that she owned 600 pets that she kept in her in her various homes, including Chihuahuas, a Rottweiler dog, a bobcat, a ferret, a kinkajou and a Lhasa Aspo dog.

Last year, Paris revealed she was preparing her body so it was in prime condition to conceive.

She said: “I want kids next year, so I’ve got to get my body ready.”
