The reason I started this post was to show Kuga what Little Loki could look like when he is older. But after listening to you and being accused of being a troll by two people I have decided to dig in. Never being one to avoid controversy, I have decided to keep going.
The reason I bought yeti was because I needed a mouser. I live in a 90 year old house next to the subway which is loaded with mice. Someone threw a piece of bread into the tracks one evening and hundreds and hundres of mice swarmed it and fought over it. Every spring they spread out into the neighbourhood and come into the houses. Each spring and fall I get mice and I can't find out how they get in. So I needed a cat. But being a kind of materialistic I had to have the best looking cat I have ever seen. And so came Yeti. But Yeti's job is to catch mice. He is a working animal. Therefore he should be fast and intense and vicious. I did read that male cats should be un-neutered for hunting vermine, that it is the testosterone that makes them good. So I am not keeping yeti intact because I like the look of his dangle berries. I do have reasons. Yeti is solid muscle and he is fast. We practice stalking and chasing every day in our games for hours. The other day something fell in the back of the kitchen and Yeti flew in there from the living room and crossed the 40 feet in a flash and I was really amazed how fast. He then hunted around for a long time. Just the smell of his predators urine has kept the mice out. I never smell his litter box because it is kept spotlessly clean but the mice smell it. They know that the amonia is from an animal that eats protein. For me, personally, strong smelling testosterone laced urine is an advantage. Sometimes however we do get the odd foolish mouse that comes in. Last fall I got up in the morning and found a dead mouse proudly displayed right in the center of the kitched floor. It was a young mouse and it was soaking wet, still warm and seemed like it didn't have any bones left it was so limp. I heard a mouse a couple of weeks ago but it was only here for a couple of days, so I am expecting to find a dead mouse somewhere, hopefully not in my bed. Yeti was hunting but now he's not and the little pile of oatmeal on the kitchen floor is still there so the mouse is gone. So far Yeti is doing a mavellous job.
