I have an ex-feral tom cat...

[Shilasdair]

...and I haven't had him neutered, so he is free to 'date'.
Your thoughts?
S

 

[Dobiegirl]

Is he willing to travel.

 

[s4sugar]

Why do you say he is "ex feral"?

 

[JosieB]

If he "dates" other pure bred ex ferals then fine so long as he has been health tested. If he fathers mixed kittens willy nilly, uproar.

 

[Shilasdair]

Is he willing to travel.

Not unless transport is provided for him.
(I would happily buy him a single ticket).

[quirky]

Have you had him hip scored yet?

 

[Dobiegirl]

No ,Tiddles has said she wont travel, she is not that type of girlie.

One way ticket, dont you want this stud back.

 

[Shilasdair]

Why do you say he is "ex feral"?

Well, he used to be a fine, free roaming predatory Lothario of untamed cat lust. ('feral')
Then the git moved in with us. ('ex')

Of course I want Kittykins back.
I'll send you the return ticket, and address, in the post.

Neuter him-straightforward.

I think you have but I will add.

He will no doubt if he is still entire be carrying felv/fiv which is eventually deadly and will see a cat die in agony (esp ferals) but i'm sure you have tried to bump him off so this may appeal to you
But spare a thought for all the kittens he will breed with the virus and the young mother cats, and if you are selling the kitten be sure to tell the folk buying they could be riddled with the virus.
Also if he comes home with frequent facial scars, open wound and abscess, it's because he is entire.

I personally think you should catch him and have him done, it's the responsible thing to do, leaving him entire would be irresponsible.

Shils


How will he cope being out of the realms of Hades though??

 

[Shilasdair]

I can't believe you are being so unsupportive, Cayla.
I am sure his kittens will be cute.

[Toffee44]

Can we have a picture please?

 

[Shilasdair]

Can we have a picture please?

On human welfare grounds, no.
He is quite fugly.

Im sorry you feel that way S, am sanctumonius, and unhelpful and selfish and a pupper/kitten cuteness basher, it's in my nature

I think you are correct though in all fairness, the kittens will be cute and to be fair you could hide any illness because they will look healthy at the time you sell them and not bother having him tested for any viruses, because who ever is buying will be unsuspecting and will not see past the cuteness, as they will have their kitten goggles on. So im thinking on the other hand why should you miss out on the dosh when everyone else is cashing in.

But, please remember those littens will be bred from if they reach the age of shagability and the cycle will repeat it's self.

But who gives a toss, they will be long gone, not you problem.

Oh damn it.....I'm undecided.

 

[Dobiegirl]

I have just read Caylas reply to Tiddles and she has gone off the idea of meeting your stud she has just had her 2nd litter off the tom up the road and she never caught anything off him(I have taught her safe sex but they dont make condoms kitty size).

So the date is off unless you can provide proof of up to date vaccinations.

 

[Toffee44]

Is this him??

 

[Dobiegirl]

Hallo Handsome, forgot to add Tiddles is blind.

I bet the ugly sod was damn cute as a kitten though

Pushing like button.

I am thinking of calling his kittens (once I search the local outbuildings for them, of course), 'pied Siberians'.
What do you think?
S

 

[Dobiegirl]

How are you going to catch them?

 

[Cop-Pop]

How are you going to catch them?

*imagines Shils sneaking around wearing a ninja outfit and carrying a large butterfly net*

Think of a few variations of the name, don't rush in (this is where the profit matters) it's in the name (you have alot to learn about back street cat breeding S) but the AAD will give you loads of ideas

If he uses a litter tray, meow's when called (real genius **** like this), and anyone anywhere has ever mentioned you should breed from him) DO IT, DO IT DO IT, because this makes him superior, superior than any health test money could buy.
If you have homes lined up then good (the 1st home is always the one they live out a happy life) FACT.

I hope Im being helpful here.

Why don't you try breeding the cat with a dog?? Reckon you could make a few £s from that?

 

[CAYLA]

I think depending on who is GIVING and who is TAKING the dog would end up with severe injures.

Suppose as Shils puddy is boy, she could give it a go.

 

[TheBlackMoth]

Or you could try cross breeding with rabbits - you could have a whole new breed 'Catbits' or would 'Rabcats' be better. Think how much money you could make - you could more than pay for your boy to be done. You could get a conservatory out of it too.
