    Some cats just don't adopt owners like the owner adopts the cat :P
    Our neighbour's cat(s) always try to come in our apartment.

    It's probably more likely to be that, to be honest.

    Damn, I need to make my husband take some allergy meds or something. I want a cat.
    That site says they're generally much more hypoallergenic than most cats.

    I've scoured petfinder for months now...none in my area except one adult grey. Man that site makes me sad to think about some times.

    I've been wanting a more extroverted intelligent type cat for a while now. Apparently you can teach them tricks like a dog as well. I'm stuck on the fence. I know if I go to the breeders though it will be all over, and I'll walk out holding a reservation receipt. Their fur is hollow or something like that so it glistens and shines, and after a year or so the markings come out really sharp and clear, so they look even better as time goes on.

    decisions decisions...
    Aw...dont feel badly for going to a breeder if that is what you want.

    Petfinder does break my heart. I get on these kicks where I am on there everyday sometimes...so sad. But at least there are people trying to help these animals. That is where we had gotten Larry...(RIP) He had been tied to a stop sign in New Orleans...so sad. But someone rescued him and he was brought up here in a doggy caravan. :)

    I found this...maybe you could look here too. :)

    Please let us know what happens! They are so adorable.
    There is another kind of cat that you can train like that...I forget the name. They look sort of like a sphynx. <---awesome cats too.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    Thanks I'll take a look. The pics of that little tyke in the tub are priceless. At one point he's sticking his face underwater to check out the drain. They are fascinated by running water. Has to do with their ancestors primarily hunting rivers in the jungle. The only catch is that some (not all) will get in and frolic in the toilet if you leave the seat up! Ahh! So it's probably due diligence to keep the toilet seat down

    They say dogs are mans best friend. Maybe this cat is every womans best friend?!? hehe
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    How much do you think it would cost to get a pure bread?

    They are amazing cats! Not sure how well it would do with my current one.

    Okay, so that Bengal I mentioned in my post before, Issac.. he is looking for a home. My mom can't keep him because he doesn't get along with other cats. He's living in my mom's neighbor's laundry room while they try to find someone. Seems like people are interested in them here, so I wanted to put it out there. She lives in the burbs of Philadelphia. Issac has to be the only cat, he's proved that. He is the MOST affectionate cat I have ever seen. He meows a ton, and its really sweet. His fur is super thick, and has such pretty markings. He LOVES running water so much.

    If anyone seriously is interested and lives in that area, PM me.

    Edit: My mom says he is a Bengal mix. But he looks like a Bengal and acts like one to me.

    My friend had a little bengal too. It got hit by a car or maybe mauled by a Raccoon. I can't quite remember, it was a sad time.
    NERDS!
