Show us your pets

they are cute but it's sad when they're on their own cause they are very much a strong family centered animal.

Agreed, you have to become the family. We found this little oke after his old lady was killed by dogs. He was in a very sorry state. Lots of effort later, he eventually pulled through. Now he only has two missions in life.

1) Removing grout between tiles.

2) Beating our dogs up. (Revenge)

He looks like a happy chap so rather in your home than dead in the wild.

 

Some videos of him attacking the grout and dogs required

I agree whole-heartedly and as a rule I loathe it when they become the targets of domestication along with ferrets and the likes... unless there is a solid reason for their integration into human family life they should be left to function within their own family in natural habitat. but man.. when they do cross your path (as Junior did).. dont they make just awesome charactered pets?

Removing grout from between the tiles?? Ooh thats funny!! And of course its good to take revenge on the dogs.. at any given moment. Love it!! He sounds like a real character!

On a very sad note... my heart is breaking as I have to take my old man to the vet this afternoon as he has gone downhill in his old age and is now battling to eat and not drinking much. He did get his fish down this morning and a half bowl of milk and he was lying quietly on his pillow when I left. He is 14 and came into my life as a barely 4week old kitten with not a hair on his body and full of scabs that was a really bad bout of ringworm. From having being bathed 3x a day in special stuff (even I got ringworm), he jsut sprouted this gorgeous black coat that has remained as black as the night and he has been a part of my life for all this time. Heart is breaking at the thought of what I have to do and am dreading going home today.

Hey MONs, sorry to hear about your old friend. Never easy letting go. I do truly believe that we as the human companions know when it's time to say goodbye. We had a family dog that got cancer and the vet told us to put her down. We changed vets, got a second opinion and she lived another 6 happy years.

 

Good luck and the sterkte *hug*

This little girl, Rusk??, is coming home with me on Tuesday
