Meow - The ULTIMATE Cat Thread

tigers, lions, cheetahs, leopards, pumas, bobcats, all cats.
a bit hard on the furnature, but believe it or not, there are still places in this world that don't limit what kind of non-human companions you can live with.
doesn't make it a good idea unless you've got 40 acres, a stout fence and a vetinary license, but russia as i understand it, is actually more free then the 'western' world in this regard.
in the u.s. it goes state my state what life forms you can keep. but i don't think there's any that still allow you to keep the dangerous and endangered in your house.
but you can keep relatively small and harmless exotics, not tigers, but creatures like most of the mustalids, skunks, and ferrets are always popular where allowed,
some states let you keep pet foxes, some don't. endangered's are generally not permitted to prevent an economy of poaching their young.
and while i agree with the motivation for that, i would love to host foxes or red pandas or some of the more exotic small cats, servals, palas cats, fishing cats, and those very small, like geofry's cat and that even smaller one i forget what its called, provided of course, if i had the resources to care for their needs.
and there are other weasil, stoat, and even rabbit and rodent relatives that are not endangered, that the only reason they are ever restricted is the prejudice of one's neighbors.

i would never kill a mouse, but i would never stop a cat or a fox from doing so, because that is part of nature. but to kill a mouse is to rob a cat or a fox of their dinner.
i know i'm just weird like that, but a really big cat like that or other large enough to be dangerous even if it didn't intend to be, you know that's something,
for only if i had more resources then i knew what to do with, which i have difficulty imagining, or well, and as i imagine is the case with most of the people in parts of the world where they are allowed to keep large exotics, they're fostering them for a zoo, or taking part in an organized species survival project.

 

Themnax I have always wanted to ask you about your avatar. Is that cat from a show? May I watch it?

 

he's a sapient e.t. cat from a world in another solar system from inside my head, or in other words, an origeonal character,

one i may have looked like in some previous life,
or future one.

he's not in any 'shows', just occasional appearances in my own 3d animations, which are just short slices of alien life that don't have stories to tell, mostly,
but are more in the nature of concept illustrations, of the kinds of diversity in architecture and infrastructure, of the kind of world i would like to live in.

he's one of several oc's/'sonas, who don't have complete back stories, but rather is basically just me, in another physical form.
because i consider physical form to be mostly superficial, and diversity to be aesthetic.
