    He is 85cm s long.My other daughter brought a small beagle few months ago.Tilly keeped walking towards Mercedes(game keeper).He wouldnt back off,just stood his ground and snarled ,hissed n growled.They had to pull Tilly back or she wouldv got decked n given a throat death bite n torn to bits.
    Other wise he s a very placid cat till bugger annoys him.

    Our girl was just under 15lb at last weighing, the vet called her as "chunky".

    A few days ago she was snuffling around in the walk-in wardrobe, I found a desiccated rabbit head in there - I strongly suspect it is related to the fresh eye and back half of a rabbit I found under the bed in the spare room a few weeks ago....

    They will be alright, sometimes you may need to intervene and talk to game keeper, just talk...he/ she will understand you.

    I got several stray cats that I raised them from kitten time, in the cold winter ( that was 10 years ago), I left my car door open little bit so that they could stay warm in the night. One day, I found a little a mouse on my seat, and days after another mouse....I treated that as Thanks. But they all gone now, good memory though.

    the cat taking out wee pups eye has been my biggest fear ...even getting monstered by the big dog doesnt scare me as much...unreasonable I know but after our cocker going blind far far too young,I really want a full span of years with the new pup.

    that is a classic photo and I was thinking half grown rabbit and cat doing well...it shows how the legend of the canterbury black panther has hung around so long...you put an animal like a cat on its own without anything to get reference of its size and its easy to get all confused/excited.

    They live about 350ks apart now,Tilly a lot bigger.Cats are very quick to swipe at dogs eyes.That was our worry at the time of introduction.
