We visit our vet only if we have health issues (of course I mean my pets :-).Quote:

These days he has been suffering only from heat, so I shower him from time to time.
That's an amazing picture of a lizard. I am surprised it entered a building as I recall seeing them in Italy and they quickly disappeared when approached.
They are probably the fastest moving creatures in the world as they literally disappear in a fraction of a second when they are disturbed.
My cat loves to be outside in the summer but spends most of the day inside during the winter. When she isn't sleeping, she likes to explore the immediate neighbourhood.
that cat is amazing. it reminds me of the cat from little bear. the best character in the show, never read the books, but all the same.Quote:

I never think of Hungary as having lizards. The furthest north that I have seen one was in Germany, not far from Frankfurt am Main.Quote:

I have travelled widely in Germany, particularly in the south, and I never saw one again.Quote:

Just wanted to share this article about cats defending arts.
http://lovemeow.com/2010/03/hermitag...ds-tomcat-day/
http://lovemeow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cat1.jpg
That's an interesting video about cats guarding the Hermitage museum.You can use any other method to control rodents but cats are simply the best.
The video about the young couple taking their cat on their walking journey from the US to Argentina is just amazing.
My cat has never travelled to Argentina, nor have I :-(
but he is so romantic in the window:
http://www.online-literature.com/for...1&d=1280862959
I took this picture tonight when we had a power cut - I had nothing to do without electricity, so I opened my window and he came immediately...
'They are also intelligent cats! These are the cats that learn to open doors and sense the mood of their owners. They normally get along well with other pets and children and their undemanding nature fits well in many modern homes. They are low maintenance from a grooming standpoint but often enjoy being brushed because it means being with their owner. They are quite willing to entertain themselves also!'
For those who love cats:

He came to my friend`s place - where I am staying now - this morning, as he usually does. I tend to think that it`s a boy, because of his colour and his habit to conrol his territory every morning. He obviously lives somewhere in the neighbourhood. He didn`t appear too friendly, he was rather distant, I was so excited to take some pictures and make friends with him. That`s why some of pictures are not clear. I understand that it`s not easy to trust people especially if you a cat and have to cross the yards of foreign people. Not everybody likes cats, so you must be cautious.

When the window was between us he was brave:

He left soon:

This bloke lives with our neighbours, but he has claimed ownership of us as well, and we are his willing slaves.

All the pictures touch my heart, but I think I have a soft spot for the raccoon, Gilliatt. :) I thought maybe you took that picture.
Millie continues to charm, BrianBean; Azazael, the puppy-what can I say? What a beauty.
Olga, I enjoyed the Purina All-Stars clips. It would be hard to claim a favorite there. Your little neighbor cat, so dignified and wary. Your heart goes out to them. Cats are often mistreated, far more so than dogs.
Claes, I think you've posted pics of that little guy before-what a huggable, loveable little hunk of fur he is.
Wonderful pictures Gilliatt, I wish we had raccoons in England.

This is one of two of my beautiful dogs :] His name is Jake and I've had him for 7 years.

Yes, he really is, and you are right: There are pictures of him all over the place... He is not in the least camera shy, so...Quote:

In fact, the only place that I have seen red squirrels is in the Zentral Friedhof in Vienna. However, whatever their disagreeable habits may be, raccoons certainly look very cute.Quote:

Raccoons have periodically passed through our creek for many years along with opossums, coyote's, snakes,...etc. In this case we had four young ones hanging around for about three weeks. My son began feeding them cherries and dog food before I came home from my business trip to snap the shots you see.Quote:

This animal keeps mice away from dog's food and he is not afraid of loud barking - a brave thing.

And he looks almost like Boris my cat just much friendlier.
I met him today:
