So, there I was, goofing off at the Waterfront 'Fair' for the Rose Festival here in Portland... all this yesterday... now, since i work weekends, I can't 'enjoy' the massive crowds and insanity... thank God. I got myself a couple of pirate hats (Argh, me matey, shiver me timbers!!)... one better than the other... had some typical 'fair food' i.e. not that great. Had fun... then i walked into a tent of 'critters.'
I fell in love.
These people help rescue big cats and other exotics that get bought by inept morons... among other animals, they had one full grown Serval, as well as a cub. I can't remember his name... they were doing photo opps as well as a little education for the idiot public... so I paid my five bucks (SOOOOOO worth it) and sat in the chair... I chatted with the people about cats big and small. I told them I know of some people (John [AmbertheBobcat]) who do the same thing they do... and have the utmost respect...
This little guy is about 10 weeks old, bigger in size than my two grown domestics, but weighs less... and he's SO FLUFFY!!!!! They put him and his bed in my lap... I put one hand at the scruff, and one on his chest... he wanted to lay down... he kept putting his head down, so they asked me, to hold him up a bit... and here's the result... I kinda look like I'm holding him weird... but he was a little hyper... I was the first after his play break in his carrier (big wire dog kennel). he was such a sweetie...
I think he's a Serval... John? confirmation? Whatever he is, he's such a cutie... so soft and fluffy...
