couple of months ago so assume his owners moved to the area around that time ............." Or moved away and left him -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

I don't live too far away from http://www.isleofwightzoo.com/ about 1 mile, I quite often park the car opposite when I go to the beach. I think I will have words with them about 'fostering' some of their young cubs :-)) I live about 8 miles away from same zoo - greetings fellow caulkhead! It was from this zoo that my friend got some tiger dung and smeared it on his garden walls to good effect. Trouble is, I have no need to scare my own moggie witless! Vicky |

I live about 8 miles away from same zoo - greetings fellow caulkhead! Small world. Not a 'true' caulkhead as I moved from the North Island when I was 10, rather a long time ago. It was from this zoo that my friend got some tiger dung and smeared it on his garden walls to good effect. Trouble is, I have no need to scare my own moggie witless! Do you happen to know if they will let you come and collect it from the Zoo. (The Zoo itself as opposed to straight from the animals ;-} ) Mike in a very sunny Lake. -- H.M.S.Newfoundland Association Reunion Hayling Island April 23rd - 26th Royal Naval Reunion Eastbourne May 7th - 10th H.M.S.Collingwood Association Reunion Bracklesham Bay May 21st - 24th Nat.Service (RAF) Assoc.

Some breeders use a neutered tom to chase off would-be mates to their females when they're out sunning themselves. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada [change "atlantic" to "pacific" and "invalid" to "net" to reply by email] |

Some breeders use a neutered tom to chase off would-be mates to their females when they're out sunning themselves. My mother had an intact tom with split lip, limp and half an ear missing. As a result of an allergy (to grass!) the vet had also pumped him full of steroids and he tended to resemble a small, grey bulldog. Not only did she never have any cat problems in her garden, including her tom, but I never saw another cat within half a mile. Once he had established himself in the area, he spent most of his life asleep. During the spring, he did tend to disappear for several days at a time, occassionally returning to have his injuries seen to. My mother insisted he was always just like the kitten he had originally been - despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. -- Larry Stoter |
