Brilliant idea, visible from a distance. My brother and his wife visited Cat Island during their holiday to Japan this year, they are cat fanatics but found that real cats living wild are nothing like a pet cat. Neutering makes a lot of sense in feral cats.Quote:

I've 2 cats which are getting up there in age now. The first is Eddie who is now 11, these 2 pics are a year old but he still looks like a young'un if you ask me. He has extra feet on both his front and rear paws, his rear feet look like a rabbits, will have to get some pics of those to post. We had the option to have the extras surgically removed if he had trouble but he has been fine and runs around like a maniac most mornings. He's not one for fuss, if he wants it he will come to you, plus he is very shy around new people.

Then we have Oscar who is 10. He is a very needy cat and is very vocal, he likes a lot of fuss and attention. He is definitely not shy around people and really craves attention. He has his own pillow which he has taken a shine to and sleeps on most nights.

The thing that some people don't understand is that they all have their own very unique personalities, just like us. I'm not looking forward to the day my 2 leave us but I hope they still have a number of years left yet, I know some cats can live to over 15 years or even upto 20 if lucky.
polydactyl they call that... the dew claw becomes a foot.. as long as its not bothering him
Nice cats.
I had a black cat years ago. Found her as a stray kitten on my doorstep one night. Nobody local had lost one, so we assumed she was a feral stray, there were a few about at the time.
She trotted into the house and stayed there for about twelve years until she died of an infection. We named her Lucky (well black cats are supposed to be lucky), but she ended up being called Fang or Beastly, 'cos she'd take no nonsense! She was very affectionate, but simply would not be told what to do and responded fiercely if shooed away. :)
Yeah, think I've heard the vet mention that name before. It doesn't seem to bother him, he functions as any cat would, running around and climbing fences and trees. When he was a kitten he would climb up the wall as we had wallpaper which he could cling too, made a real mess of it lol. The only problem is that some of the extra claws don't get ground down like normal so we take him to get them trimmed every 4 months so they don't get too long. The vets have mentioned he could get arthritis in those when he gets older which is a little worrying.Quote:

i used to breed fish. African cichlids, but had a lot of tropical fish and several tanks at one time. thats a pretty tank.. always fancied a tank with just plants in.
My youngest grand daughter has just got a fishtank like that. She's very pleased with it.
As for me. This is more my kind of tank! :)

I've also kept marines but that was a whole different level both in financial terms and time required to keep everything in check. Don't think I'll ever go back there again although retirement might change my mind. I'll post a pic of that up if anyone's interested?Quote:

Mia is a lovely cat, lovely name too.
She's a sweetie, she's around 6 years old but not exactly sure. I got her from the RSPCA in January 2016, she's an indoor cat, her original owner kept her in because of busy roads etc so Mia has very little sense of danger. She likes sitting in the sun by the French doors and staring at birds through the window. She seems happy enough so I leave her to it.Quote:

They're lovely Ben, all got very cheeky faces
Lovely, looks like the black and white cat is the boss!
Oh no doubt about that, he bosses our older cat about to the point where we have to feed them separately otherwise he eats both meals! He is in no way afraid of our lumpy old staffy either.Quote:

Roxy looks lovely. Staffs are my favourite dog by a long way. I grew up with them and hope to always have one.Quote:

3 years ago he ruptured his knee joint and as we didn't have pet insurance we had to find best part of £3k for his operation. He recovered quickly and has no lasting issues and though it was a lot of money he's worth every penny (and a lot more) to us.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2320051418.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...323cb4c6be.jpg

great picture.. my cat loved cardboard boxes.. if she saw an open on she was straight in it... dunno if it was a throughback from birth, and maybe kept in one?
might add i buried her in one...
The late Tiddles enjoyed cardboard boxes too, and yes, she too was buried in one. I won't post the pic.Quote:

Bear in mind, these are 2 Cu Ft boxes, quite large.
