Can and absolutely do. Pet is my standard security question and it's just a standardized password I use only on that field.

You should most likely generate a unique one for each website, but I doubt any attacker is going to go to the trouble of capturing that once and trying it again as a security answer elsewhere.

The bad part is of course when it's not just the password leaking but the security questions and answers as well.
