| I have a 400 year old Tibetan cat. | | He is worldly wise beyound compare. I have included a recent photograph of him. He sits on the couch all day watching the history channels and nature channels.he is indeed very wise as he say "shopping channel for mallrat with little brain but big wallet"In his spare time he is teaching me the ways of the forgotten oriental feline arts.This week he is teaching me how to fall out of a tree and land on my feet.Next week he will teach me how to play with my food.Do you have a pet that gives you out of school lessons? Or do you have an unusual pet that you would love to have put down? | |
