Are you one of those pet collector's that try to get as many vanity pets or mounts in the game as possible? Well, good news to you as starting in the new expansion you'll no longer have to worry about your pets eating up your bank space.
Wryxian of the official Europe forums recently made the following post regarding vanity pet storage:
It seems Blizzard has taken a lot more interest toward the collector's of these vanity pets. If you're interested in starting your own collection check out warcraftpets.com for some great information regarding these little beasts. In fact just a few days ago the site creator found out she would be immortalized as an NPC in Dalaran in the new expansion, her in game counterpart will sell pet related items.

Wryxian of the official Europe forums recently made the following post regarding vanity pet storage:
We’re pleased to announce a convenient upgrade to the way that mounts and vanity pets are handled in Wrath of the Lich King.
Players will be able to “learn” a mount or non-combat pet much like
learning a spell, recipe, or new ability, and these creatures will then
show up on a new Pet tab within the Character Info section of the
interface. Players will be able to access and preview their learned
mounts and vanity pets through this tab.
Once learned, the pet icon or mount icon will no longer appear in
bag spaces or bank spaces. This inventory space will be made available
once again for other adventuring needs. Pets can still be set to
hotkeys by dragging them to the hotkey bar, much like any other spell
or ability.
Considering one of the recently announced achivements was about colelcting vanity pets, this was a fairly obvious announcement for the most part. I expected them to announce a new 20+ slot bag for vanity pets, but this idea is so much better! Players will be able to “learn” a mount or non-combat pet much like
