As promised last week, here is Jack, my not literally "feral", but very untrusting one-eyed kitty. He had a rough life before I found him and still has issues with people getting close and touch him. When we need a vet, I have to sedate him. I'm probably the only person he lets himself be touched View attachment 6684 by, but even after years I still have to walk on eggshells around him.

Awww little one eyed bandit poor baybee. I'm glad he has you though.

Noooo, my sister adopted her when she was about 4/yo. Then she left her here after she had a child and couldn't deal with it.

I wish I had her as a puppy. She's so funny even as a senior. She will still try to chase bunnies or squirrels and they always win. But it's hysterical to see her get all excited.

Not a hamster, haha. Much bigger! They are an exotic mammal, which originated in Australia I believe. Sadly they only remain in the wild on the island of Tasmania, and are a rare, protected species. Scientific name is Mus praegrandis. They're about the size of a wombat, or "medium" size (as in a slightly tubby) dog. They make interesting pets, but are more like cats than dogs in nature. You have to be careful though, because they seem very sweet and placid but can turn in an instant if not fed their preferred meal at the precise time. Much like cats I believe. Not recommended in households with small children, unless of course there are plenty of spares (children). The short haired variety are low maintenance, but the long haired species require a couple of hours of grooming a day to keep their coats free from mats and in top condition. While with correct care they can be very relaxed pets, they are a working animal by nature, and as such are ideal to be trained as Guard Praegis. They work well with German Shepherd dogs, but are more like Rottweilers in aggression. The saying goes "Give a Praegi a side-eyes look and you'll lose one of them eyes... and an arm and a leg as well".

Yeah, sorry, I did laugh. "Floofymaus" is her real name, but she's known as "Killer" around the neighborhood. You know, when the cute kittens of the local kids go missing, and Preagi comes home and is strangely not overly interested in her dinner. It's slightly awkward when the parents turn up asking if we've seen their kitten. So, I really do try to keep the pair of them in at night, but they are clever animals and can work open windows with their fangs and paws. On the good side, they're handy in cold weather because you can sort of wear them around your neck like a really snuggly thermal collar. They stay in place by gripping with their long pointy claws.

@WayOut are you teasing me????!!!

Here are 4 young Praegis (sp. Mus praegrandis). So cute at that age! They haven't yet developed their adult fangs and long sharp claws. If you want to keep one as a pet, this is the time to get them. Once they've gown up and hunted kittens they're not that good as pets because it's hard to feed them their preferred meals. (Well, not hard, exactly, but the local pet shop gets a bit suss when you turn up every second day.) You can see they come in a variety of colors as well as coat types, so when choosing one as a pet you can co-ordinate with your home decor.

Oh, how could you possibly think that???

Lmao!!! You are so feral!!!!! Totally had me there until you said "can match them with your home decor"

You've made my afternoon:-)

This is the recommended enclosure for restraining Praegis. I used to use iron bars, but they were strong enough to bend them and squirm their way out, so I changed to that extremely solid, bullet proof glass. It works well! You can see a Preagi at the top left, patrolling the perimeter, and if you look very carefully you can see a "dark op" commando Praegi in the bottom let hand corner. That one's called "Stealth". Born to kill, that one.

Really??? To that point? The decor??? I'm dying laughing here!!! I mean, really, even after the kittens? You should brush up on your Latin, young lady.

Edit *and German. Still laughing here!

Shoot me now!!! Please!! Am nearly dead of embarrassment! *hides head under mouse coloured cushion*

In my (very weak) defence, @ReadyasEver had been telling me stories of beagle eating coyotes in his neighbourhood so I thought it could really be legitimate to have kitten eating wombat things!

 

[WayOut]

Umm, still laughing here....
