Damn! I had wished to discuss cats.

I have not seen a wolf. My neighbour had a wolfdog as a pet though.

I don't think so. I have seen deers, pheasants and martens but no wolves so far, at least as far I know. I have seen some homeless dogs though so it is slightly possible I seen a wolf without knowing it. There is so many dogs breeds that I couldn't probably recognize a wolf if I seen one. A lot of people here keep wolfdogs as garden protectors. It is possible for one to escape and go to woods. I know from experience that a fence is no barrier for a male dog in heat - I was keeping a female dog, we had to fix our fence a lot because male dogs were destroying it.

Moved from General Autism Discussion.

I have seen coyotes on my street, and a few years ago, walking my dog (a Labrador), a coyote

sauntered by casually, looked at us, and kept going. As he walked up the street, his mate

appeared from behind a parked car and joined him.


That was two blocks from where I live.

There were tonnes of foxes that lived near us in London. One year a couple of them that lived under our neighbours' sandpit had pups and I got to watch them grow up from a room upstairs that overlooked their garden.

After the opening I would settle down and allow one of the cats to rest on my lap and pet it as I watch the show!We had 8 cats btw!

About 15 years ago I came home from work to a new house my BF had built, pulled into the driveway and a wolf was up against the house with 2 farm dogs pinning it down. I did not get out of the car for an hour after they left

^^poor wolf,i would tend to think the wolf has an advantage but the dogs had the numbers advantage.

I feel sorry for all the stray cats and and other animals that are stuck to brave the elements this winter.I leave the shed door open incase our cats get stuck outside,but not just ours our neighbour cat often gets left out and come here for dryness and warmth,there is a stray too who pretty much lives there in the winter(its the second)he eats next door(cat lady feeds all the local cats though 90% have a home) even our one of our cats eats there.
So i made him a box out of double thick corregated carboard box and insulated it a little and when it got really bad i gave him a hot hands,those hand warmers that heat up when exposed to air,i had a few left over but i dont know how well it worked since they were old,better than nothing though.
To give an idea of how cold,the coldest was -28c without the wind chill,and its going to get cold again for a couple of days.
I dont know how they do it,do all birds live through these cold spells or are there casualties?
Sorry for the long post been thinking about this for a while

May the arctic keep its aimasses

Unfortunately, we dont have no wolves and no woods where I live. it's a monster of brick and cement, overcrowded sidewalks and building almost touching each other. We did have wildlife here, including mosquitoes that brought deadly fever, but that was gone before I was born. the only wildlife that stayed is the birds and mosquitoes, but they dont bring dealy fever anymore. They just annoy the hell out of me.

Even in the little zoo, if I remember correctly, we dont have wolves.
