    Awwwwwwwwwww! Those are precious! My daughter loved looking at those and both rats are the same color as Satern, one of hers that recently passed. Thank you! Eileen

    We're hoping that they will get along *crosses fingers* at least for a while. My daughter has had rats as pets for the past 5 years and they do not live very long. Three years is pushing it for a rat and hers generally get to 4+ years of age before they pass away. She looks after them *very*...

    The Sphynx sounds ultra cool and would be something *I* would want as far as looks goes, but my daughter wants one that "looks like a wild leopard" The ears -- don't think I want to have to do that. I have a LOT of animals to look after already and, although it would be my daughter's...

    Thank you! Why are they not ready before 4 months? Just curious. I don't remember if any of our breeder-sourced cats were spayed/neutered before we got them, but I have a vague memory of taking one to the vet to have it done. I think. That was some years ago, though.

    Nod, understandable, however we tried that once (cat wise) and it did not work out. A lot of animals are fine on their own turf, but once they get somewhere new, they show their real colors. I've also gone through dogs, horses et al from shelters or rescues and I'd rather mine from breeders...

    Boys it is, then. I'd rather boys, anyhow, I think. Neutering is less expensive as well Wow. I think we paid $400 for our Bobtail, but that was 10 years ago. Eileen

    Nod nod. With the collies I've got enough long hair floating around, so I think I want a lower maintenance cat this time. Short hair. Ocicat or Rex, I think, after reading all this. Daughter just saw the pix of missymotus' ocicats I had on my computer screen and she is in LOVE with those...

    Not a problem Could you or anyone else tell me what the going price is for a pet quality ocicat -- or a Rex -- in the USA? Hubby wants to know how much this is gonna cost him Especially 'cause we're probably going to want two of them -- he doesn't know that yet, though Eileen

    Flies, spiders, earwigs -- kitty hunter heaven here I was looking at Ocicats, as a matter of fact. Are they big on lap sitting or just play animals? Both are fine; my daughter and son would love that! Eileen

    Yep. There are a few mice in the house, but we don't really care about them. We like rodents. Just to clarify as well -- we live on a horse farm but it's one of two houses on this farm. We rent it from the barn owner and we board our horse here. I'm not looking for a cat we can stick in the...

    Because, as I said in my post, there are a lot of huntables in the house. I'm not referring to rodents at all, heaven forbid! Our pet rats wouldn't care for that too much and we'd like to try to teach kitty that rats are friends. No mammals are the target of said hunting. I'm referring to...

    Could a breeder or two or more recommend breeds that tend to be really good hunters? We recently moved to the country, practically in the middle of a forest, and our house has a LOT of "huntables" in it. We lost our American bobtail a few years ago and would like to get another purebred cat...
