I need a high quality cat

I really want a cat. I need something to pet, stroke, and smell. I
want to see a slinky creature meander around my appartment. I went to
the animal shelter the other day but all their pets were pretty
inexpensive. I'd imagine if I were to pay $400 for a cat it would be
of higher quality. For instance, a better meow, longer tail, and
softer fur. Does anyone know of where to find a good cat that is
needle drug-free?

Vist my store, I have several high-quality cats I can let you have for $400
or $500.  But if you really want the highest quality cat, I can let you have
an original Felis Silvestris Domesticus for $1,000. That's the highest
quality cat you can get without going directly to the source in Africa.  In
fact, this cat is a desendant of  Felis Silvestris Lybica! I have DNA
mapping to prove it!

Sure, no problem!  Just keep in mind, the better the meow, the higher the
price.  The same applies to the length of the tail and softness of the fur.
I'll throw in good quality purr that's guaranteed for life at no extra
charge.

Bring cash.

No, he may NOT have Francis!  Francis has a definite voice with a wide
vocabulary, his tail is longer than his body (which isn't short), and
his tummy fur against my face in the morning is softer than down.

I can go one better than that Phil! I can give you a Felis silvestris
grampia (only 400 left in the world) for £100,000. All proceeds donated
to a certain place called Maxs house! ;o)

I've just looked up photos. Cool looking breed. And I've always liked
slightly wild Scots ;-)

They are indeed a very cool species. Not your average cat, and
completely untameable.

Hiya Helen,

That's one beautiful animal! Why so cheap? ;-)  Lybica is still my
favorite with Chaus running a close second. Lybica is in danger too
because of hybridisation with domestic cats.

Breeding endangered Wildcats - now that's a breeding program I
wholeheartedly agree with.

I read a story somewhere awhile back about some a.shole who killed few
Grampias in Scotland. The moronic judge wouldn't charge the killer with
a crime because the cat was considered a domestic cat and no one could
prove definitively that the cat was an endangered Grampia. Do you know
if they ever finally nailed the bastard?

I forgot his name; how's the Margay with Cytauxzoon that you rescued
from Belize?

Nice seeing you around again!

No unfortunately. That's what my current research is centering on - DNA
of the wildcat to be able to ID hybrids also using pelage and
skeleton/skull morphometrics.

AFAIK, he's doing fine. I haven't had contact with the charity for over
2 years as we parted ways in 2002. Long story I'm not going to go into
on a NG!

Thanks :)

Wow! That sure sounds interesting!  Are you also involved with the trapping
process?  I don't know if I could bring myself to releasing a Grampia! I
still get worry pangs releasing ferals!

How about renting a cat from "Rent-a-Cat"?

The starting monthly rate is $500 which does not include food or litter.

This is something I too would like. In the meantime, I have a cat.

If you're talking about the pet-grade hotwire system, I have
one. It's to keep boarded dogs out of my flowers.

I take it you're considering running the wire across the top
of the fence?  I don't think I'd recommend that, although it
may be worth a try.  Watch closely -- the one case where I saw
a hotwire used in this fashion caused the dog undue stress and
frustration, and he tried even harder to get over the fence.
So be prepared to take it down right away.

That was a Dane, though.  With a Saint things might be
different.

It Happens, But You'll Get Over It." mike duforth,
author:  "Courteous Canine."

"I have heard advice stating that you should
pre-load your dog for Bitter Apple for it to work
as efficiently as possible. What  does this mean?

When you bring home the Bitter Apple for the first
time, spray one squirt directly into the dog's mouth
and walk away. The dog won't be too thrilled with
this but just ignore him and continue your normal
behavior." --Mike Dufort author of the zero selling
book "Courteous Canines"

"On the other extreme, the really hard dogs we have
trained require much more frequent and heavy application
of pressure (PAIN j.h.) to get the job done,

This is continued resistance to your increasing authority,
and the job is not done until it is overcome

Get a stick 30- or 40-inches long. You can have a
helper wield the stick, or do it yourself. Tougher, less
tractable dogs may require you to progress to striking
them more sharply.

With your hand on the collar and ear, say, 'fetch.'

Immediately tap the dog on the hindquarters with the
stick. Repeat "fetch" and pinch the ear all the way to
the dummy.

Repeat, varying how hard you hit the dog,

Now you are ready to progress to what most
people think of as force-fetching: the ear pinch.

Make the dog's need to stop the pinching so urgent
that resisting your will fades in importance.

but will squeal, thrash around, and direct their
efforts to escaping the ear pinch

You can press the dog's ear with a shotshell
instead of your thumb;

even get a studded collar and pinch the ear against that

Say "fetch" while pressing the dummy
against its lips and pinching its ear.

if the dog still does not open its mouth,
get out the shotshell.

Try pinching the ear between the metal casing
and the collar, even the buckle on the collar.

Persist! Eventually, the dog will give in"

I think it would have to be the other way around (20346.jpg.exe) for it
to be a virus/trojan. The virus writers do that to trick people because
by default Windows hides the extensions of known file types, so you
wouldn't see the .exe part.

At first blush, I agree, but a link with .exe embedded just seemed to weird to
take at face value.

Gee, back in December I had such a cat that I was selling just such a
pet kitten for $750, he came with his own litter box, 10 lbs of crystal
litter (not meth) his own carrier, his own bed, his own towel for his
carrier, 5 lbs of frozen meat, micro chipped, neutered, and pet
insurance and would have been registered with the biggest registry of
cats in the world.

But since then he has turned into a show cat and he is now worth $2,500

Sorry, guess you will have to keep looking
