Yes, you can pet him (Basil the fox) once he gets used to you. Fox tend to be on the skitish and high strung side. But once he knows who you are, he will usually say hello to you with a fox bark and let you pet himOriginally Posted by LuckyGirl
what a sweet face?! Say, can you pet him John? Or does he keep his distance?
The one after he was sniffing the flowers? I know, he looked so happy and content. It was such a beautiful day and it sure looked like he was enjoying it as much as I was
It wouldn't take you that long. Would be a nice little road trip for you
Baxter does look like Hercules
We will be spending the day with the big kids tomorrow. I will have the camera with me for sure
(Takes time to hug the stuffin' out of John and then go back to admire all the eagerly awaited pics.)

Of course it isOriginally Posted by sarahp
I saved a bunch to my computer to use as screensavers, hope that's ok
Thank you SO MUCH John! I really needed to see pictures of your fur family today.
Looks like Carmelo is almost fully grown. Just a couple faint remnants of his baby spots left on his back legs. He certainly turned out to be a handsome cougar.
And how are things with Nakoma? Does he let you get close to him and pet him now or is he still pretty cautious around people?

Awww, that was when he was still a little cub
You're welcome.
I keep telling my wife he is an adult now and she says, no he's not, I can still see spots. I think Carmelo will always be a cub to her
Nakoma is doing really good. No, we can't pet him, but you can sit next to him and he will look at you, wag his tail and give eye squinches. Since he missed out from a lot of cuddling and holding as a kitten by his original owner, he doesn't really understand what it means to be touched. I have been able to touch his feet and all he does is just move it out of the way. I do let him see me hold and pet Amber and Boris, thinking this may help him to understand. If we never get to pet him, that's ok though. I am just very pleased that we have him and are able to give him a wonderful, comfortable home, with the proper food to eat. By the way he looks at us and interacts with us, I can tell he is happy
I can see that Carmelo is maturing you can tell by his face it has a more mature look to it, but he's still a doll

Yes and his eyes are changing color as well. His eyes used to be brown, but they are now turning a nice shade of gold.Originally Posted by halfpint

Mum just emailed me back saying how beautiful they are, and she can't believe that they let you hug them like that.
I dont know much about the laws in America about cat ownership. Were your babies orphans or injured or did you just decide you loved them so much you'd bring them up as your own?

The laws vary from state to state. In order for me to be able to keep them, I do require a permit/license from my state. None of these cats were taken from or out of the wild. They all came from breeders and for the most part, it is illegal to take these cats from the wild, to keep them as pets. That is why they came from breeders. Yes, they can and do bond with their humans very strongly, but it takes a great deal of time and work to care for them and you must always be responsible. I can not tell you how fortunate I feel, to be able to share my life with these cats. For me, it is a dream come true and I treasure every minute of my time with them. That is why I enjoy posting these pictures, so that everyone here, can share my experience with these wonderful, beautiful cats
John I think Shadrock is just stunning!
Make me want to just pucker up and smooch him!!
Not that far from Indiana either! It's so be worth the gas prices to see all these beautiful animals.Originally Posted by Graciecat

I have a bunch of cat pics from here on my computer as a screen saver slide show. It's fun when coworkers ask about one of your exotics and I can say "Yup, there's this amazing guy and his wife in Ohio who live with these creatures." They are usually awed!Originally Posted by AmberThe Bobcat
Of course it isI have Carmelo on my computers at work
