I think Florida has fools that do that. There would not be any snake living in my house for any longer than it would take me to blow it to hell.
I’ve tried to de-furr a payment...
My Maine Coon is the biggest baby you ever saw. I can do anything to him. If I end up annoying him he just spreads his paw to about 3 inches and pats me on the cheek. I usually alter my plan about then.
Do you have a gas fireplace? When we turn off the pilot light in the summertime, all kinds of creepy-crawlies come in through the vent.
Big dogs can easily kill humans too, but many people keep them in their homes.
Yes, I actually keep two very big dogs in my home. But, I would never keep two wolves in my home, and neither should anyone else. Just saying.
We have domesticated cats and dogs, but it took tens of thousands of years to get them, for a reason.
My grandparents had a big black and white Maine Coon. Her name was Panda. She was huge and she ruled the house. My grandmother loved that cat. My grandfather loved her too, he just tried to hide it.
When she had to be put to sleep my grandfather made her a beautiful wooden box and buried her under the gardenias where she had always liked to take a nap.

No, no gas fireplaces. The toads are really small about 2 1/2 inches.
I suspect the lazy bones sprawled all over my bed and the couch have become a bit too domesticated.
Many, MANY years ago, my at-the-time boyfriend took me to visit some friends of his grandparents. The elderly couple told of taking in a baby raccoon and raising it as if it were family with the rest of their pets, and how sweet it was. One day, while the woman was washing dishes as usual, it ran across the kitchen and attacked her and severely tore up her lower legs. It then smashed through the back door screen and ran out of their lives forever.
No, it wasn’t rabid. She foolishly never went for the shots, but she didn’t get rabies either.
I like wild animals, but they get to stay outside.
I know how you feel. When mine were younger, they used to froth at the mouth from barking when the doorbell rang, striking fear into the hearts of the would be visitor.
Now, they give me a look that says, "Are you going to get that, or what?" They've gone soft in retirement.
Probably a good policy.
“If obtained young enough, nothing that neutering and de-pawing can’t solve. ;p”
De-PAWING? Damn, that’s cruel. Isn’t that what muslims do to thieving bobkitties? ;)
This is in the heart of Liberal Dummacrap nut country, just up the road from "Satan's School for Girls" (San Damiano Academy) Where they teach kids to despise their parents, and love wild animals. Not really Novato, but the unincorporated low rent district of Maroon county.
That’s a Jag, not a bobcat. Bobcats don’t even get half that big.
Two of cats when babies went right under a closed bedroom door to come into the kitchen to be with me.
Where there is a will there is a way. ;)
You sure? We had a pair of half-wolf dogs in the 80s that were as gentile and loving as could be, although they were quite large and strong. (and always hungry)
