A most dangerous cat catch......
Do NOT try this at home.
I am a trained professional kitty tamer and can evenso get caught unawares by these wiley creatures.
You must leave them in their usual habicat or you too might be taken by surprise.

Beware of kitties..............

An untamed feral can kill at will, so beware. Your life and theirs are both in peril when approaching a wild cat.
This feline capture is NOT for the feint of heart.

Ever seen a domestic cat stalk her prey?

This is your average domesticated kitty. And yet, you cannot get the cat out of the kitty.

This is YOUR kitty, my kitty.
I once saw Tigger try with all of her might to get through a window and attack a morning dove. She was at that moment no longer a domestic animal. She was wild. She resorted to her instincts, and if I had tried to interrupt that moment, she would have tried to kill me instead of the bird. Of this I have no doubt.

Skills developed before kitty tins were invented.
If I some day passed away and the kitty bowls went dry, my cats would resort to this behavior. It is inherent in their genes to stalk their prey.

They get real down and low and take every step with care.
Yes, even domesticated cats can do this when they remember how.

I cannot fathom your love of Tosca, but I believe it is rather close to my love of cats.

You speak of him often.

I am drawn to feline dreams, but I can appreciate those who are otherwise not on my feline planet/

What it all boils down to is this/

My life and yours would be nothing, except for our companion animals.
We are theirs, and they are ours.
Life is not complete without one.

Cat,dog, whatever.

We all have and need something other than our simple lives to share.
I surely do.

I can tell you this much.
I would not be alive and talking to you today without what I have experienced with Tigger, Tigger II, Bandit, Purrball, and recently, the loss of Ty ty.
Every second of every moment I have shared with a kitty was returned tenfold.

They just do not know when to stop loving.

When Ty kitty passed in my hands a few weeks ago, it tore me up yet again.
Another soul gone from my life. I do not know how to recover from these things.

I do not know how to.

If you dropped dead in your house and no one knew it for a few days, the first thing your kitties would do is start nibbling on you.

Hopefully they would figure out how to tear open the 20lb. sack of Purina before resorting to me....
They do have all of their claws.

If your cat want to get rid of local dogs or just to hunt mice this can come in handy.
