Beautiful cat!
Wish our boy would do the same. When on a lead and outside he just wants to run and explore, then the noisy mynahs want to swoop him.

It's the Bengal again, this time on a SUP

Our boy likes playing in boxes....... He says we should take him out on a lead more.....

Shameless pinch from the intranetty thing.



Of course, our boy does nothing like this.

Maybe the sign needs to be written in Purssian?

Maxie has been different after his last lockup, maybe he finally realises just how lucky he is.

I haven't been on here for a while, we lost Otis last year to a lung disorder, vet never really found out the problem. My absolute best pet, ever.
In Istanbul (city of cats) atm and this is in the foyer of where we are staying, help themselves to the cleaner's basket. Technically street cats but mother (outside) has made this apartment block her base home. They just wait at the entrance when they want to go in/out.
Sorry poor photo but you should get the idea... cute as.

A post on a local cat page from Canberra on fb said that a couple took their 13 year old cat to the vet to be put down, it was getting old and had a few medical issues and they didn't want to deal with that anymore. The Vet talked them into surrendering the cat. It will be on it's way to Tassie soon to an old cat's home, thanks to people helping out. We paid the vet bill that was owing, so happy to help, can't believe that people could do that to their pet, but I do realise not everyone's circumstances are similar to ours. Hope the boy, "old man?" Lives a long life.

Sadly veterinarians see a dark side of human nature more often than we all would expect.
Euthanising animals in need is not uncommon.

We inherited a 13yo Burmese which lived for many happy years until we had to put it down at 23. Sad day.

Going back a few year's when we had Munn the Cat, we took her to the vet as she was unwell. Diagnosed as a diabetic, we were given 2 options, one of which was euthanasia. That didn't sit well with us. We were made well aware of the care she would need and the associated cost.
Yes, she did cost us a small fortune during the next few year's but she was part of the family and worth every cent.
I do however sympathise with those who may not be in such a financial position to manage the expense.
