In the late 1960's the cool pet to have was a big cat, people kept them like... well like cats or dogs..! happily tamed (loosely speaking of course) and lounging on the sofa. When the wild animal act was brought in people unindated the zoos to give their pet a new home. but the zoos could only take so many.... so the alternative was to have your pet put to sleep by a vet.
Many people could not do that and so gave the animal a fighting chance and turned it loose! so thinking about the amount that were actually set free.... is it any wonder we still have thriving cats here?
When a few breed too well, then there are more cats than the local land can support, its at times like these that they are seen out of hiding, one stalked my brother and his young son, My brother thought it was quite amusing until he realized the size of it!, picked my nephew up by the back of his shirt and ran as fast as he could back to the car.... My nephew remembers it as the day daddy showed him a big cat, then he suddenly flew through the woods!!!
Oh and that ginger kitten is just too damn cute!!!!!
