I have watched one stalk a pheasant, vary impressive, i have to say. Sadly its body ended up down a rabbit hole shortly afterwards I think they would be un-tractable.......but probably no more so than a Saluki Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shes a funny c**t , won’t come in at night but when you bring her in she would take your fingers off if she had chance . We have four cats , all different In personalities, each one is jet black , the only way to tell them apart is their ears and how they act . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,912 Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Absolutely bloody horrible things, as I write this the missus cat is looking at me like it wants me to die, this thing is about 20 years old now and I’m sure it only stays alive to piss me off, it’s a house cat now and won’t go outside, again, probably because it knows I hate it been in the house, why anyone would want one of these disgusting things in their house is beyond me, I often tell the missus I could happily dispatch it, put it in the bin and go about my day, she loves the bloody thing and treats it like a baby, it’s just plain weird 3 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aled 381 Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) They have their place: We had mice when we moved to our present house got 2 farm cats, which we thought would live outside and keep the mice down. They do their job well, and do offer a bit of friendship....however i much prefer my dog! Edited December 8, 2022 by Aled Quote Link to post Share on other sites
