Mo - I thought Maine Coon's were mostly tan in color ? Old g/f had a tan Maine Coon. Shows ya what I know about cats.

I've not seen a single colour coon yet. Skatty had a sister that was white and very light grey,a stunning cat. They both belonged to a near neighbour but the grey one got itself killed crossing a road. The owners got another coon thinking Skatty would like the company but of course she didn't and promtly left to find us. She hung around outside but we didn't know of the problem till a note was sent round saying have you seen this cat? They came and got her and made a fuss of her and kept her in for a couple of weeks but as soon as she could she came back to us. The neighbour then decided it wasn't going to work and let us adopt her. They were very nice and even gave us food bowls and carrying basket.

Molka's a very pretty cat. A bit of a Russian theme going on there Bob? Who is Galina?

Better stop now and get the thread back on topic. Don't want to get in trouble.
Appologies to Gail for hijacking your thread a bit.

Any more animal photo's anyone?

One of my shop dogs - in doggy heaven with an ostrich shin bone...
When I work in the shop, he insists on lying under my feet next to the lathe. At some point, this usually ends with teeth in my ankle after I step on him. Then, after leaving shop, I have to brush the chips from his hair, resulting in teeth in my hands. Had the little bugger for 13 years now. Recently got another dog - now 4 months old, and insists on stealing the lathe's cover and lying on that on the side not occupied by the old one. The 3rd dog (a real "*****" ) is banned from the workshop. She steals & eat tools.

Oh well, lathes motor should have cooled down by now, so back to turning that crankshaft.

WOW, that's one fast and fit little pooch, able to bring down a mature ostrich at 13 years old. :big: :big: :big: :big:
Do ostriches walk down the main street of Windhoek, Namibia like kangaroos do in Perth, Western Australia. ;D

Just kidding,

Well, he used to be fast and fit... Caught many a snake, scorpion & bird in his younger years, but no ostriches ;D
When he was a bit younger, I regularly woke in the morning to find him gone. Would them get up on the fence wall, and listen where the biggest dog fight in the neighborhood was. Invariably drove there, snatched him from some other dog and drove straight to the vet He's cost me pretty a penny that way, but I love him.

It's a LOAD easier to get good free-range meat here than it is to get some decent steel to machine with though!
