cob - that looks like a Brindle Dane?? Is it??? is it yours?? My first ever dog was one of those! I used to ride him like a horse when i was a little thing
Agreed (although more so cats than dogs)!!
(Yay Pam, you gots one.. !)
Ginger is looking like a real boy now! - Woah! Must be da loving.
-i want a midget cat!
I lied....Cats FTW because cat's don't fucken bark each time I go either outside, come home from work, get into the car, get out of the car. Yeah our neighbors have two collies and they bark and bark like something stupid!
beautiful looking! would be way too much work for me though.
can you imagine how much fur they'd leave on the couch? and grooming them would be a bitch!
family friends of ours who live in nepal have a pet lynx. it's mum was killed by poachers and it was injured when it was young, it's back leg has never recovered properly so it wouldn't be able to hunt in the wild. they've had it since it was tiny and it's completely tame. i haven't met it but my mum has and has shown me photos, it's incredibly beautiful.
Sorry guys, but importing a new and improved killing machine to Australia is very fucking selfish.
I have sliced open the bellies of already huge feral cats. Their diet? our native birds and lizards. I have seen feral cats swimming to islands to prey on helpless fledglings and I have watched a feral cat decimate a population of bilbies and bettongs that we introduced to what we had hoped was a cat-proof enclosure in outback SA.
What environmental managers do not need is a bigger fucking cat to have to dose with poison.
I wanted to be a hero. I wanted to be the center of attention. I wanted the glory, I wanted the fame. I wanted the pretty girls to come up and say, "Hi, I see that you're good at Centipede."
See above for charming picture of bridle nail-tailed wallaby remains post-encounter with feral cat.

totally! would never support them being imported to aust. they're beautiful animals but people would be irresponsible with them and it would end badly.
our two cats are indoor only cats and will remain so, a very big part of the reason being the effect that cats have on native wildlife. they are perfectly happy with the space they have and don't show any real interest in going outside.
did anyone read the article the other day about nillumbik council are looking at introducing legislation that all cats in it's council area will have to be kept indoors? good idea i reckon.

Charlie, I don't mind cats that have responsible owners, but there is a large amount of concern in the scientific community about the introduction of a cat with a large proportion of, well, 'large' cat genes. The gene pool that this cat has been bred from is partially sourced from wild cats.
Also, your boy isn't feral.
It only takes one fertile cat to get into the system. Which only takes one irresponsible owner...

i don't think it's a bad thing that a cat hunts. i wouldn't say they're killers - they're just doing what is completely natural to them.
it's up to the owners to control cats that are big hunter, and a lot aren't very responsible.
it's kinda like the poor dogs that get put down after attacking the small child that they live with that has been pulling their tail. those dogs should just not be bread and put into those situations as they're just doing what is instinctual to them. it's almost animal cruelty in my mind as the dog is just going to end up being killed for doing what it naturally does.

Yeah Ok i can see that, I am strict task master, he misbehaves (comes home after 7:30pm) he is not out for the next couple days.. Oh and all our animals get teh nip and tuck... THAT is for sure..
I missed the point you were making...sorry and Yes in that case i do agree...
I got my first ever cat free, cause someone had shoved her through a video return shoot in a door
I took her after they had stiched all her neck etc etc, didn't even know what a Bermin was until i showed a friend was told i got a pure bred seal point cat that was actually worth over $1000! For free.. i was stunned and she could not believe someone would have done it....

He was an awesome dog and you and Sam gave him an awesome life. Kept on believing in him long after many owners would have given up, I'm sure he knew just how loved and lucky he was.
BrB & LilMsB, my condolences on Juniors passing. He couldn't have had a better home than he has had with you. He'll be in dog heaven now. I'm sure his tail will be wagging! he was a TOP DOG.
Just because I rock, doesn't mean I'm made of stone.
