    lol Alex laser cats! love it! Such a BA karate guy with fluffy little kitties! lol! I had a Maine Coon cat for awhile, AWESOME CAT 25 pounds! idiot got hit by a car and showed up 2 weeks later with a broken jaw and an infection that lead me to think he had rabies, $1400 later and a wired up jaw and feeding the cat by syringe for 6 weeks, he got out again about 2 weeks later and got hit by another car! UGH!

    love them though! if it wasn't for litter boxes, I'd have a hoard of them, for now, i'll stick with the one I have, down from 4, and take care of the 5 neglected neighbor cats.

    But out of curiosity, what is a jungle cat, is it another breed?

    -[technically they are called Jungle Bobs but Im not into the breeding thing. I do know that Lanfear, the older female is over +15% wild cat hybrid, and the little guy is 30% Jungle and 15% bobcat. He is the size of my hand and grabbed a 10lb cat carrier in his mouth and drug it across the room this morning.

    thats rather impressive! have you thought of an ocelot? I found one a year ago in a rescue, but I can't get one now because of the chihuahua, don't want him to become dinner:(

    I seriously looked into having a Bobcat before I got housecats again. Unfortunately Billings has la specific law against keeping Lynx, Bobcats, or Wolves as pets.

    yeah, but they have to DNA it to prove it;) I had 2 timber wolves in college! They were awesome, their eyes reflected red in the dark and I taught them to howl on command! I loved seeing peoples reaction when they walked in my house and saw 2 wolves, then heard them howl! But damn, they are alot of work! Alot of issues!

    Not to mention a specialized diet. This little guy and his aunt/cousin whatever are more than enough for me.

    Yes. He in fact ate the whole thing and went back for more.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    That is so weird.

    I can not eat veggies or fruit without my cats being all over me to get their share. Meat they could care less about.

    These are not your garden variety tuna cats.

    I hear those Jungle cats have huge teeth?

    He almost gnawed through a cobb and he is so small still. Barely 11 pounds and skinny.
