ive always loved cats but havent had any since 1993. mainly because, i lived with my mom a while, that didnt like cats and had birds. then i married a man that didnt want any having said he didnt like the smell? then i got Coco, and not sure she'd get on with one. anyway, a few minutes ago, i got this email, sending me to a news item about big beautiful cats. wanted to share.

I love cats and I have two of them, one time I had 5 but now my son and I feel two cats are enough. The more cats the more work, with hair flying around, cat fights etc.

Bunnybon, I ´ve just watched your family photos, your kid is lovely, and coco is so pretty with her party hat. Today I´m so sad because a rat ate my canaries, this morning, I feel so sad because of this, I prayed for my loved birds, and we poissoned the rat.
I have to be brave, because I told my kids my birds were my babies, because they were so innocent... I prayed for them. And I have to be brave to buy a pair or two of them.
Is the first time in 39 years that this arrives to me. I´ll buy some locks for their cages, too.
Thanks you for your "best response" to me, and I send blessings to you and your famil... DAINY

Big beautiful cats? Well you must be a really a cat lover. I am no cat lover so I really can't have any interest in any cat whatever they may look. But I have a friend who truly loves cats so I should rather just send your link to her and I am sure she'd be happy to see it.

THat is cool. I saw a documentary several years ago now with several odd looking desert cats and ones like the ones in the refferal link. They are beautiful. So odd looking and colored for comaflauge ofcourse. THey are playing with genetics and coming up with some interesting ones also.

I have never really got to experience being around any cats. All my family and friends are dog people. I knew only one person one I was, maybe 7 or 8, and it would stay hidden for the most part, and I never got to touch it. I was 24 before I actually got to pet a cat, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. My friends though I was goofy to be so excited about petting a cat. I have a german shepherd now, so I won't be getting a cat for a while, but one day I too will be a cat owner.

I love all animals but I especially love cats, if you are loved by a cat then you are blessed, I have had three cats in my life and they have all found me which I take as a compliment, I really don'r know what I would have done without the cats in my life, they have been through a lot with me.

i agree. many times id have been so lonely and unloved without my pets. had so many cats that made me happy.

They do look nice. It shows that cats can survive outside. We have a couple of wild cats around our area, but right now there is snow outside so they are probably hiding.

poor things are likely needing food also. are they domestic type? or the big ones?

I have two cats, and two dogs, I can´t simply live without pets. I tried to, but I couldn´t, they are part of my life. Part of my smile, part of mine. They simply raise me up, and I share my life with them. My husband realizes this fact. And now he got used to them and he loves my cats and dogs. I can´t share my pets. I can´t live without them. Blessings Bunnybon7!... Dainy

Those are stunning big cats and really are something to look at. I really like the curious white tiger.
As far as cats in general go, I never was really a fan of cats, that is until about two years ago when Kathryn brought home a stray that became a member of our family for the rest of his life. Since then, we've had three more cats that have been a part of our family. Cornbread ended up dying and we are pretty sure it was because he'd been a stray, then Buttercup passed away as well, she had a tumor on her kidney at only a year old. Peaches has been with us since October 1, 2010 and Callie came home with us during the summer.

oh, thats sad. its really hard loosing pets. one more reason i cant afford another. im in dire fear that coco will get something i have no money to get fixed. at least you did what you could for the kitties. took them in and took them to find out what was wrong.

they surely are.
So will you share or?
BTW a cat (or dog or other animal) mostly smells because of what you feed them.
If you give them what they really should eat (carnivore = prey) then you will notice that they hardly smell eat less and are way more healthy. More info you can find on the internet see BARF

thanks for advice but son is the same here about smell. i always tell people they dont smell if you keep the litter always clean. but Coco would likely not get along well with kitty either so i leave it go.

That smell will disappears after castration. If you get cat from shelter usually (in mos country, but check)she is already castrated. If you get kitten from a registered breeder he/she will tel you what is vet law about that.
Some people use also perfumed cat toilet, but some cats hate it.
By the way peoples also smell :).
I also support WWF, but they are wild oriented, if you interested visit ASPCA or

yes, when i had cats years ago, only one out of over a hundred that passed through our doors was a special breed bought cat that a friend bought me as a gift. i used to be a big time rescue cat lady. people would drop them off at my house knowing id take them in.

Hi,
I'm deeply passionate when it comes to cats. They are really cute, adorable and cuddly. My cats are more than pets to me. They are more like family members. Being mischievous at times they tend to be very entertaining. The wild cats that were caught on tape appears to be absolutely stunning. Magnificent creatures of God they are and needs to be protected from poachers.

I love to see cure cats and dogs. But i don't like to take care of them, specially when they just cannot be trained on how to eliminate their wastes.
I just hate seeing any poo of cats, specially their smell. I just would like to see them, but not cuddle them either.

i have only had 1 or 2 cats that didnt use the litter box properly. out of hundreds i used to keep. they usually like to cover up their own poo having not to like the smell themselves i think if you keep the litter box cleaned out, they will always use it if they can get to it or know of where it is.

Those are like predator cats lol!
I hope you used to have the pet ones because the wild cats look tremendous in stature and size. I bet they could tear us apart if they wanted to! They're still very beautiful and exotic to nature and it's pleasant to view such pictures but those cats are scary! I love little pet cats and kittens and I also love dogs too! I guess pets are just one thing, I love to have! :)

of course i just had the pet types. i still love to look at the big beautiful ones and dream of touching one and how nice it would feel.
