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!

Small world. Not a 'true' caulkhead as I moved from the North Island when I
was 10, rather a long time ago.

garden walls to good effect. Trouble is, I have no need to scare my own

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 ;-} )

Curiously, Bruce Fogle in "The Cat's Mind" suggests a large,
burly *neutered* tom. Neutered toms are bigger than intact ones.
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.
