We are not a very good home, because our dogs tend to eat the cats. But, some of them have survived, and we have kept those. If you are willing to try, we would try. If she had her claws, it would be better.

The "Free to GOOD home" has me.

Years ago I had a place in the woods. I also had a yellar shepherd named "Old Dog". Old dog could kill a cat in a matter of seconds..watched him do it a number of times.

Trouble was Old Dog would drag their carcass back to the house and gnaw contently on the remains on my back porch...I bet I buried almost a dozen of my neighbors' cats under cover of darkness. The sad part was seeing their pretty pink collars, usually with a bell or something, all chewed to pieces.

Old Dog never got caught..neither did I. His cover was being cool and friendly. He'd even let the chickens eat out of his bowl and he never touched them. All the neighbors thought he was a "good" dog...I had one neighbor lady convinced the owls were gettin' her cats.

Nobody but me ever saw him snap a cat's neck with one shake.

I guess he liked the way they tasted.+o(

My neighbor hood has plenty wild critters not to need actual pets, even though half the neighbors keep some in cages and their house. The ones on the loose don't leave the house alone.

A fox comes thru the yard often trying to catch something on the ground and the speeders on the highway are always dodging coons, possums, deer, skunk and squirrel. Them darn coyote are somewhere at the corner of your eye waiting for their share in the dusk and dawn of the day. A few bobcat and cougar are sighted often enough.

Like I said, thanks but I don't need no pets, they might get eaten by the critters.

I don't think she wants me to have her cat.

Dang! Wish now I had taken a picture of the three partly grown bobcat siblings that went skittering across and along the road a couple of days ago as I drove slowly by. Cuter'n a speckled pup under a red wagon.

If I had a bobcat kitty, I think they'd survive!

Russian Children Find Lion Cub, Take It to School

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 07:45:16 -0500
MOSCOW (AP) — Most primary school classes get a goldfish to keep, a hamster or a turtle if they're lucky — but children from one village in southern Russia got to play with a lion cub.

Children in the Rostov region found the 5-month old cub on the steppe Wednesday and brought it to their teacher, who kept it in the school gym, police said Thursday.

While waiting for police, children petted and played with the cub, named Barsik. One boy even tried to ride it like a horse while it mewled and swiped at the air.

The cub had escaped from a car on the way to a zoo in Dagestan in the North Caucasus. It has now been removed from the school and placed in a local zoo.
