In his old home he ruled the neighbourhood with his mum and uncle (dad??), with the neutering, and without the family backup, we were expecting him to struggle in his new surroundings. Not according to our neighbours (and what we have seen) he still fights for his territory - chasing off cats double his size. (Another reason why I don't think we could declaw him).<br /><br /><b>Jenny:</b> We got a rabbit first (as a compromise between an Old English Sheepdog and a cat). Then our current cat climed onto my lap at a friends house and my alergy didn't fire off (I'm super sensitive to tabby cats but he is black) and he was so cute. So as our friends had too many cats, and he was still a kitten, we took him home a few days later (he was a present for Mrs Stace's birthday).<br /><br />He's still just as cute now - when he doesn't have a bird sticking out of his mouth...<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-82113872261160051432010-05-02T10:58:06.772+02:002010-05-02T10:58:06.772+02:00You have a cat!

When I was still working, I walked out of the back door on my way to work one morning, only to see my neutered, de-clawed cat, chewing the belly out of a bird on my rear deck! How he ever caught it with no front claws, I'll never know, but he was able to climb small diameter trees, by wrapping his paws around the trunk.<br /><br />Melissa XXMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.com
