Did somebody say sofa? Our new arrival Gisdhubar, rescued from CPL just over a fortnight ago, all 5kgs of him. You certainly know about it when he flops in your lap!

Just need the existing cat to chill out & accept him now...

We went to the Highland safari park at the weekend and one of the highlights was seeing this Scottish wild cat.

That thing looks utterly bat st mental. Love it.

I remember watching a TV programme from a zoo, they had two Scottish wild cats in an enclosure, and the keepers had to catch them for injections. They used a big net on a pole. I was quite scared and I was only watching on the TV.

We know the cat that did it as ours has had a few run-ins with him before resulting in a couple of lost canine teeth amongst other injuries. Aside from the vet bills, I don't like my cat suffering. So how do I broach the subject of this other cat not being neutered with his owner, without going ballistic & demanding he cut his balls off (the cat's, not the owner's!)?

I'd rather put my hand in a fire than tangle with one of them.

I think your chance of making any worthwhile progress with the owner is very slim indeed. In fact, I don't think I would even mention it to him, because if you did, and someone unknown was to catch the tom and take it to a vet to be castrated, he would immediately suspect that it was you.

Yeah I had considered that option but....

1. I doubt we'd catch him. He's gone as soon as he senses any activity from the house.

2. I wouldn't want to try blagging the vet if they scan him and find his details.

TBH his owner is a nice enough guy and not having spoken to him about this latest incident yet, I would say he's unaware of the effects of neutering cats.

Beautiful, powerful animals. Rarer than tigers.

Almost certain to go extinct in the wild by the 2020s, due to domestic-cat interbreeding and diminishing habitat / prey

Wow, just by looking at the picture you can tell that is one cat you would not want to mess with

Here's Grady Gilbert being a nosey cat, he leapt up on the sofa to investigate my new crash helmet - I don't think he found it that exciting...
