wow those r biggggg

Some cats are just big... two of ours are average about 10 pounds.. We have a little Calico Siamese who weighs about 6 pounds. Then we have Holiday (showed up on our doorstep 3 days before Christmas last year) and he weighs about 14 pounds.

I want to get a Maine Coon one day that would be able 20 pounds or more but would have to let my wife get a beagle dog and am not a fan of small dogs. There is a place in Northern California called "Isis Oasis" where they have some cats that are mixes between Maine Coons and Jungle Cats. They weigh about 30 pounds and have paws about 3-4 inches in diameter.

OH, yes, Wayne...I've always wanted a Maine Coon...they're HUGE!

Ish...I don't much care for small dogs either...had a Maltese once...yippy things.:rolleyes:

Ok, question...you mention a Jungle Cat. Is that a domestic breed or like a real, wild jungle cat?:confused: I'd love a cat that big...if it was a good cuddler!:D

Jungle cats are not domesticated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungle_cat

However the cats that were able to roam the Isis Oasis compound freely were very even tempered and not aggressive or feral. The compound has the Cervals, Ocelots and feral Jungle Cats contained. Why they have cross-breeds with domesticated cats, I don't know. I don't think it was on purpose though because they would lose their exotic feline breeding permit.

LOL

Ooooh, thanks for linking me.:D

I perused that page and noticed Jungle cats aren't native to this country. Kinda seems to me they were imported and cross-bred intentionally. I'm not saying the Isis Oasis did this intentionally...I'm saying somewhere, someone over the years brought them here for that purpose...*shakes head in dismay*

Could be.. About 15 miles from my house is an Exotic Feline Breeding Compound where they breed jaguars, leopards, pallas cats, cervals, tigers along with other endangered cats. They receive animals from zoos all over the world for their breeding program. Now they wouldn't do this but they have a drug-addicted tiger there. The tiger is a rescue sent there by the DEA. It was recovered in a drug-bust and his previous owner kept him doped up on heroin to keep him docile. They can never breed him in the breeding program because they don't know his genealogy but they can give him a home.

I also have 2 cats... 1 oscar .... 1 pacu.. and a pleco

Kimmi, that is a dog is it...

Yep Shes a Chihuahua

This is my Maremma Sheepdog puppy. She is 5 months old, and quite frankly a little chit. She chews anything in her way. The furniture, your shoes and you! Since she is teething at the moment, you can guarantee everytime you see her she is chewing something. Because she's so cute, she gets away with murder! She knows when she has done something wrong, and as soon as she notices us, she goes into her 'sad' pose. But really, she's thinking "Haha, you can't bring yourself to tell me off! I'm SO CUTE!" and that's exactly what happens!

Her name is Lilly.

This is Milly, one of my boxers.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

ps. i prefer the dogs ... i don't like too much the cats ...

I'll post a picture of my Miniature Dachshund, Husky, And 3 Guinea Pigs when I get a chance.

Ok so here are my pets and the story.

So on Christmas Eve I was watching a movie and I kept hearing this meowing out my back door, I looked and was like oh nice, a cat. Well he was all cold and it was snowing here in Colorado, so with the furnace on, I opened my back door and left it open for like an hour while the movie finished, since I couldn't get out there and pick him up as he ran from me.

Well after leaving the door open I then shut it and went to bed. The next morning under my loveseat i noticed this gray cat hiding there, and I was like "oh hello there". So I had decided if he/she comes in, I'll keep them and he did. Later finding out it was a boy.

Here he is and I named him The Joker, or Joker from my favorite villain of all time.

Then a few months later a new woman moved into the complex that I live at, meeting her the night she moved in, shook her hand, and left it at that. A few weeks later I got a knock on my door from her and two of her friends, and they asked if I wanted to hang out with them.

One thing led to another as it usually does and she is now my girlfriend, her name is Diana. Well she was asked to watch a cat for awhile, and she told me the cats name was Magneto, and I was like cool, I love the Xmen. Well after dating for awhile it came to the point that she works more hours than me and therefore wasn't home enough and didn't think she was giving the cat enough love/time/effort, etc.

She wanted to give him up, I had issues with this because I felt the strange coincidence of having two cats that look very alike, and who both share names of FAMOUS VILLAINS! lolz. So I was like, we can't get rid of him, if we get married we'll always remember that cat we gave up, kind of like adoption. So I was like after a week of arguing with myself, I said I'll keep him, and not to give him away. That way she can still see him all the time, and if it doesn't work out, I still have another cool cat that looks like my other cat.

So here is my other pet, Magneto, and hopefully you didn't hate my short story:

(( caught them both by the door like 10 mins ago. Magneto is wild and crazy, Joker is lazy and calm, they are like opposites it's so cute. ))

Well, I for one, enjoyed your little story, and pix! LOVE their names, and believe it's their destiny to be together!

BTW, both your kitties look like my Reinhardt!https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/07/56.jpg

This is Dash. He's our miniature Dachshund. He was named after "Dash" from the Incredibles, because he is incredibly fast!

Thanx Deez! Oh that cat is like exact same as Joker, so cute!!!!

Took one more shot of all 3 of them, I suppose she isn't at her best after working all night and it being like 1 or 2 am, but I got her and the 2 cats all in one, so it's coo.
