As well you shouldn’t. Cats rule. Everything else drools.

Here Kitty Kitty!!!! Lol.

Wow!

There is a real good video of a jaguar leaping off an embankment into water that was way over it’s head. You can see him struggling with something under the water.

I had a large tom for a pet. I had actually saved his life when he was a baby. He began to grow, my wife had his nuts cut out of him. He was a large cat. If he had been a little bigger he would have killed and eaten me. I think he blamed me for his.....’surgery’.
Well, you married her. He knew.
Best thing I ever did. She has been the light of my life....not so much with the cat.
Caimans closest relatives are alligators, not crocodile. Caimans are the pussys of the crocodilians world.
Jaguars are the most dangerous big cats on earth.
