:laugh3::rolleyes::o2 grey cats, calico cat in heat locked in the house, a castrated long fured siamese cat locked in the house who belongs to someone else. That cat has to be locked up inside because there is a theif who steals long fured cats. 2 tom cats that are the neighbors are outside meowing because of the cat in heat.

A stray cat used to, hasn't looked for food in quite a while so I guess it's moved onto pastures new.

A cat, two hamsters, a bunch of fish. :|

Meet Enal, the little boy whose favourite pet is a SHARK

Swimming beneath the warm waters off Sulawesi, Indonesia, little Enal playfully holds onto the tail of a shark almost as big as he is.

Enal is one of the Bajau - or sea nomads - who count sharks as family pets and have lived their lives for centuries on the ocean and not on land.

The people and their remarkable habits were documented in a photo diary for six months by young British photographer James Morgan.

James lived as one of the tribe sharing their small house boats, known as Lepa Lepa, and learning to free dive without oxygen to depths of 50 feet.

James, 24, who only left Sussex University last year, was able to record the fascinating lives of the Bajau, whose way of life is now under threat from the modern world.

He said due to environmental pressure and government intervention this could be the last generation of people who will still live at sea.

He said: 'The little boy in one of my pictures is Enal and, yes, he does have a pet shark.

'As a people, the Bajau have an incredible affinity with the ocean and the life that lives there.

'To take that particular shot I was free diving, there was no way I could carry oxygen equipment with me, but it was worth it to record how Enal played with the shark just like a boy or girl in Britain would play with the family dog.

'The Bajau live on boats known as Lepa Lepa, which are about five metres by one metre, and they spend their entire lives at sea.

'The reason I wanted to photograph and live with these people is partly because I, too, have a love of the sea, and also because I wanted to get their message across to the wider world.

'This could be the last generation that can afford to live at sea because of many reasons.

'There is less food for them because of over-fishing, there are environmental pressures, and there is government pressure to relocate them to land-based settlements.'

James, who is originally from Bournemouth, Hampshire, was funded for the project by the Royal Photographic Society in the UK.

Despite his youth, the keen anthropologist has already shot other projects in the Amazon and Mongolia.

He said: 'My main aim from meeting this people and sharing their lives for a short time is to bring their plight to the attention of the rest of the world.

'The Bajau's way of life may be lost forever soon, and something needs to be done to help them.'

Hey does your cat try to get at the birds. I used to have budgies too but the cat would scare the hell out of them

 

Hmm... only rarely now does he try to swing at the cage. He was introduced into the house as a kitten and they were already there, maybe that's part of it. That, and we put him in the laundry when he tries to.

I bet the creator of this thread is a spambot too? :anxious:

Two doggies! A labrador and a husky :huskyhug:

I only have a gerbil, but it's actually been living at my grandma's for the past 3 months.

a silver arowana and some small fishes for his food.

it's getting larger and larger now :wacky:
