Panther pride here

Good veiw's I like that. Right now Bindi is on my lap as I'm typing this, dads cleaning the kichen and I dont want him to get pine sol on his paws. My dad once had a girlfriend who lived in the desert and I got to walk around there and explore the wildlife, dont think I could stand the heat!http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...laughing02.gif. People can die just from walking in midday for a few miles.

Well, St. Paul, I can see how you might feel that way! But if you're born in the climate, it's what you're used to, and you're acclimatized to it. I feel that way about the cold, and never thought I could survive in a place where it snows (and yes, it snows here! We are up at 4,100 feet, so we DO get snow) but I'm doing it! Actually I love the heat, and as long as I have plenty of water or whatever to drink, I'm fine with that.

Purrs to Bindi! from all of us!

Welcome!

Thanks from Panther Pride yet again. I was playing with a new video camra thats a little hand held one. I shot photos of semi tame wild deer and Bindi in my house. I'm quite the photograperhttp://www.thecatsite.com/forums/images/sm...hecatsite.com/forums/images/smilies/agree.gif. I'm also writing about adventure( check out my stuff in paws a reflect) Because my mind drifts off into a trance like state several times throughout the day I'm pritty good at immagining things and writing. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...laughing02.gif I'm probably going to have my wisdom teeth removed soon eeek! But I'l just grin and bear it I plan on making a necklace from those teeth. I'm a member of a trading post at the sciene muscium and maybe I'll get some animal teeth and bones to go with it and give it a nice prehistoric look.. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...s/rolleyes.gif Bindi is doing well.. widsh I could get a picture for you guys.

I have some teeth from our cougar that would make a cool necklace. These are his baby teeth that he lost about 6-8 months ago.

Hey Panther Pride!

Me too -- I'm sure everyone here would LOVE to see photos whenever you do have them and want to post them! My slow dialup connection means I am pretty limited in viewing people's videos...Lovinmom828 has made two fantastic movies featuring cats from TheCatSite,and I can't see either one of 'em because of this, boo hoo!

Take it from someone who's been there -- getting those teeth out shouldn't be too bad, especially if you have someone to take care of you after the procedure. You'll be doing some weird things for awhile, like probably drinking stuff out of a straw, and using a monoject syringe (no needle, though!) to clean the areas, but you'll bounce back quick as long as you just do everything the dentist tells you to do. I'll be thinking good thoughts for ya!
Let us know how it all comes out, okay?

Thanks for your compassion Terasgirl http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...lies/smile.gif John could you send those couger teeth to me? If you want to keep'm thats okay too, Post me your answer and I will post a privite message about more personal matters. ( is it okay to extange email adresses phone numbers on private messages) http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...s/confused.gif

Sorry, I am keeping Carmelo's baby teeth I have such a strong bond with my cougar and those teeth remind me of the time he spent living in our house with us, when he was a cub. I do want to make something with them, but just haven't figured out what yet

Hey Panther Pride:

Sure thing! Who feels it, knows it!

I heard that sometimes people get more then four wisdom teeth, rare but it happens, some people have none, others like my job couch get all the luck they get theres in no probelm.http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...laughing02.gif. Bindi is now learning how to use a harness and lesh, I plan on having outside adventures with him this coming summer. I might also write a book called Path of The Panther, explning the adventures in greater detail.

Hey hey Panther Pride:

Gosh, can't wait to read it if you do -- I'm a bookaholic and fellow writer, and you KNOW I can't get enough happy cat stories! I can just about see Bindi with his outfit -- what color(s)? I have a blue harness and leash that I've tried on everyone -- but no one was real red-hot happy about it, so I haven't really used it much at all. They have the "catio" (cat patio) so they don't really need to be "at large"....My mom had one of the first Siamese in her area back in the day, and used to walk him on a harness and leash, too. People would stop her on the street and ask, "What is that -- a monkey?" He WAS quite a character, from what I understand....I like to think they're reunited over the Bridge. A lady and her main-man cat!

Yeah, the wisdom teeth can be a big pain but you're gonna get through this and come out the stronger for it. And then you'll never have to deal with them again!

Bindi is an all black male cat, he's a little small for his age. seven months/eight months. Path of the panther will be great. I'll first try and get a job where I can have summers off, (Art teacher, I love Art) If that fails I'll be a full time writer no summers off there but at lest its something I'm good at and also love to do. Then I'll take him for walks during the summer and I'll write down notes about his habbits simliar to Jane goodall chimp study. From those notes I'll try to see the world through the eyes of a cat.http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...ilies/clap.gif

Hey Panther Pride and Bindi:

Sure sounds good to me! We have art in common as well as writing (and, of course, CATS!!!) -- and as I probably mentioned, even though I love ALL cats of all kinds, colors, sizes, and species, I do have a weakness for little black shorthaired males, because of my angel King Sunny-A-Cat , who left us in 1999 and whom I look forward to reuniting with one fine day! He was and is and ever will be, Cat of my Heart.

My favorte breed of cat of all is the Savannah, like the f1's and f2's they are beautiful! but I think its morally wrong to keep a semi wild animal like that in an appartment which is probably where I'm going to be living...if i'm lucky. Savannahs belong in a house with a big big yard maybe even a wildlife park. I wondered if they have ever attacked anyone, something tells me they could, maybe its instinct.
http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...s/confused.gif

Bangals are my second favorte followed by abys ' egyptian mau's,Hymialians, and mane coons. I might later on get another cat to keep Bindi company. I should also post puctures but cant right now because my didgetal camra will not post its videos for some strange reason. I also have deer movies on there I made myself, its fun making movies of deer

Hey Bindi and Panther:

Yes, agree 100% that they need more space than an apt. and I'm a firm believer in adopting homeless cats until there aren't any needing homes, so "purebreds" aren't on my list, though there ARE many "purebreds" desperately needing adoption in most shelters/sanctuaries! So people insisting on a "breed" can usually find just who they're looking for, if they're patient.

Oh gosh, yes, I know all about the wonders of technology.

Good on ya for thinking of adopting a mate for Bindi -- we absolutely support that!

It will have to wait for another two or three years though my dad says no more cats. Bindi has a friend now, Tom, but he's getting up there in years and I worry that Bindi stresses him. Tom is 14. Bindi is almost eight months. This summer to help Tom, I'm going to take Bindi outside on a lesh and harness. Tom may find it easier to cope with a young cat tired from running,walking and exploring by the river park.

Hey there Bindi, Tom, and Panther Pride:

That sounds like a very good idea and considerate of Tom. I dunno, though -- in our big multicat family, our eldest, Nicolas, who's pushing 17, gets along well with the younger cats, even Baby Su, who's "terrible two"! Sometimes I think it helps him stay youthful having the younger cats to interact with -- you should see him play, he's got the fastest paw in the Mojave! Lightning quick!

Well, I understand -- we have to respect our fathers! But eventually, you can start a larger cat family of your own...

I'm looking forwards to that. Might get a dog someday too I heard they are alot of work though cats are more easy going. Today I felt my right upper wisdom tooth coming in normally, its the bottom ones who are crooked. I felt it and its going to eroupt I tasted blood in my mouth this morning so I know its coming through the gums. But its doing it normally http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...lies/smile.gif. They a mystery sometimes okay other times very painful and dangerous. I felt my upper ones and both are stright. The bottom ones are going to be compacted.http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima.../angryfire.gif but I also have crooked lower front teeth that maybe I could also talk to the dentist about. Maybe if I got braces for my bottom jaw then the back ones would get more room from the strightened front teeth and strighten out too, then I could keep them, no painful surgry and good looking front lower teeth. I will talk it over with him and see if this is accpetable. When I went to the denist the first time when I was 18 he said their coming in sideways, wonder if that pushing feeling I felt over the few days before winter break was them trying to strengten out. I feel better now though but still me and my dad are going two mondays from this one to get a second opinion.

Hey Panther, Bindi, and Tom:

Well, teeth can sure be a pain but hope it all works out and that you don't have to go through too much, whatever way is best -- good to get that second opinion, but probably no one really knows what they're gonna do, which is the big mystery. I just got all four of mine out because they were growing crooked; I have a pretty small jaw so the dentist figured there wouldn't be enough room in there for all of them lol. Actually, it ended up being kind of nice because I got to lay around for a few days and take it easy instead of working 24/7 like usual.

As for those family members, just remember -- CATS RULE!!! (Dogs drool) Personally, I'm not a dog person at all. I've had to care for two of them in my life because of other people; I didn't want either of them, but I did my best and of course I was kind to them. But I would rather they had been CATS. CATS ARE BEST. I'll leave the rest.

Thank you for your concern, I'm not looking forward to the denist. Men useally have the bigger jaws that's why its easier on them two of mine are stright. In most other primates, teeth are much bigger in the males, humans its kind of the same but still very differnt from other apes/monkeys. They are relics, useless and uncomfortable so whatever happens is...well whatever happens. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...02.gifeyes.gif They'll make a great necklace if they have to come out. Wisdom teeth canhttp://www.thecatsite.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif actually replaces other missing teeth.in mordern humans if they are missing.

Dogs are alot of work and I'm not really sure if I'm a dog person or a cat person. I like the kinds of games dogs do but they are very needy( like a child) and can have behavior issues cats would never have. Cats are more manageable and give about the same level of affection and do better in small spaces, grew up with cats never owned a dog in my life.
