nope, not a Manx

bobcats have been known to breed with domestic cats -- some of those are the foundation stock behind the cats being bred as "pixie bobs" ... the breeders call the crosses "Legend Cats" since apparently no one has actually SEEN the matings, merely the offspring

(one strain of which originated right around here --- and that breeder really wanted Rug for her breeding program but he had already been neutered before he adopted us ... just showed up during a storm one night; one of our neighbors had been feeding him but quit because Rug sprayed on everything)

am sure this one was part bobcat because of his very large and muscular hind legs, his "chops", and his personality -- he walked like a wild cat (not a feral but a true wild), was intensely devoted to two of us and would not speak to anyone else (hid in the brambles when he wasn't right with us in the house) --- and his coloration was unusual, basic orange tabby BUT with aquamarine eyes --- not Siamese type blue, not white housecat type blue -- only other cat I ever saw with eyes like that was a cougar

There has now beeen genetic testing done on pixie-bobs and they contain no DNA from bobcats.

Nor do Manx house cats, a true seperate breed that do not mate.
A Bob Cat will EAT a house cat.
Not %^$@ it.

We have 20 days to pay, or they start garnishing DH's wages... I dont know what we are going to do now. I may have to sell my filly, and anything else that can bring in some cash. I feel like throwing up and crying at the same time... dont know what to do right now...

This is that darned medical bill from me knocking myself out. When I was at the hospital, they had the financial advisor come and talk to me. she got the bill cleared through the hospital and dshs as an emergency one time charity. Well obviously it didnt clear. I have to dig through files and find the paperwork that the lady gave me, along with her number and figure out whats going on.

DH will be actively done with the dui in about 5 months. He still has no DL, so my brother or I drive him aorund. He will be eligable to get it back after he completes his 6 months of treatment.

Edited to add::: am enough of an OGRESS that I would snub right back!
he wants to be an @#$^&*^%$# than I'd let him know I can be one too.
Oh what am I saying?
I am the QUEEN of #$^&&%$$# just ask my kids!
They behave even to this day or else.....I mean really!
I CAN live without them, but every 2 weeks they have to borrow money.......like I am a walking fort knox!!!

CL: thank you much for the wel wishes...trust me I am NOT handing over money. He is also NOT welcome to move back in. We will do all we can to help get him to graduation...even send him to live with my brother in Yakima if that is what it takes...but my house has calmed down so much it is amazing. Also, we have found quite a bit of stuff he has taken without asking of mine, DH, DS and DD....he is on his own and I am not responsible for him....but we just want to get him to graduation. We are taking it easy. He talked to me at Wal*Mart. We are talking small baby steps. I want to make sure and maintain a relationship with him....but I am through letting him bully me or my his siblings.

Trust me....he is not real happy with my existence. I will let all know how it goes.

OH, and CL...you are a sweety...Not an OGRESS.

Yes, I knew that. You decided not to get him based on finances. Not a problem. Hope all works out with the medical bills. Been there, done that!

Thank you so much for the good thoughts. I do think we will be able to maintain a relationship with him. He is a good kid...but he is carrying a lot of baggage that he has never delt with and he is angry.

I do not know if you all remember...my kids are 3 sibllings that we adopted. (told the kids we were not good looking enough to have kids...so we went and adopted some real good looking ones....LOL). Anyway, he is making some poor decisions, but he has a job, is continuing with football and is we will see how well he does at school. He will realize it eventually (maybe by the time he is 40), but right now I truly think that this is the best thing for the entire family. I pray every night for his saftey and for the healing of my family. Everyone else is doing well and the house has calmed down tremendously.

This COCKERAL that I have is not RYE tailed at all.
This IS what happens when a cattle judge has to sub for a Poultry judge who had an unexpected baby boy show up a week and a half early!!
No, my BW boy is perfect, stout, and so are the Wheatens.
I never was going to trade him either.
But I was thinking of trading a wheaten, as I had 5.

I KNOW he doesn't have wry tail. Just funning with ya, cept when you had this hatch and we first talked about trading BLUE Am roos cause you said you didn't want to breed brother to sister. You told me all you got was Wheaten roos from the hatch, no Blues and I should check with Cheryl to see if she had a blue since you split the hatch then I saw a pic you posted of your Blue Am roo. Unless of course you got him from somewhere else besides the hatch in question. But I'm sure I was the one who misunderstood it all from the beginning just thought you didn't want to breed brother to sister but not a problem. Hoping I get a nice Blue Wheaton roo from these eggs from peachick I have in the bator and my other gorgeous pips and peeps Blue Am roo will also be on someones dinner plate. Just need some new blood.
