Re: [RC] OT - RATS and Jack Russells - Barbara McCrary
Very interesting discourse on cats. We a spay that was part Persian, and
100% house ornament, for many years at least. In her mature years, she
became a fabulous hunter. I don't know why she waited so many years to
become a hunter. Now we have another spay who apparently did not learn from
her mother, as she was separated from her mother for 9 days (she was lost)
at a very early age. She was found and returned to her mother, but she is
still the most wary cat I've ever seen. She's just never quite become
completely civilized. But I think she is hunting. At least she lives in
the raspberry patch during berry season, and the birds don't seem to be
getting all the berries like they used to.
