New law against sale of cats!

[murf]

Finally:

Bills signed by Brewer on Monday include:
- Expanding laws aimed at skrap metal thieves to ban the sale or purchase of certain used catalytic converters from vehicles.

Cut off the tweakers. Hopefully this will slow down the theft of catalytic converters in Arizona (from which approx 80% from what Ive read are from Toyota trucks).

As long as our Governor has the laws enforced and puts some teeth in it, it should help our in slowing this problem.

Trying to find more info on the new bill but cant - anyone else know more about the new bill?

I can get up to $2000 for a cat sometimes. Cornish Rex's.

One of Kevin's buddies got me into Bengal Leopards a while back. I made a couple of bucks breeding and selling pussy! The three that I kept are more like dogs than cats.
They are a bit scary. They fight like cats most of the time. But when they have a common enemy, they work together. We had a pair of skunks looking at our place as a nesting site last spring. Three bengals came at them from three sides. Every time a skunk pointed her tail at a cat, he would go right to the front and hit the skunk in the face. The skunks gave up and left! See ya!!
My dogs are unfortunately not as smart. We have to bathe them every now and then.
One of my Bengals ran into a coyote last summer. The dog ripped the hell out of his left front leg. Angelo still managed to kick the coyote's ass with only three legs. He came limping home. I put him on antibiotics for two weeks, and he is fine.
Angelo is a small wiry bengal. He is almost 8 pounds soaking wet. (Yes, he will get in the pool! Bengals like water.) The coyote was over 30 lbs. Angelo kicked the coyotes' ass!

Jill and I lowered the price of a bengal leopard in the market. We pissed off all of the other breeders. They were selling cats for over $1000. We sold only to people wanting pets for $200 or less. We traded with breeders, but never sold to them. Our breeding cats sat on the foot of our bed at night, they were pets.
We had and still have some of the best Bengals around. Most of ours are no more than 4 to 6 generations from the wild leopard.
Some of our best breeders are still our best pets today. Princess still sits at the foot of my bed now. Colin sleeps on the headboard. Angelo lays on the dresser. They are such wild animals.
No mouse is safe within 100 feet of our house. Any Bengal will snap it up in seconds. I have seen them gang up and run off skunks. These cats don't take any crap! I kind of like them!

Bengals and normal domestic cats?

I've heard that most domestic breeds don't interact real well with the Bengals - still too close to wild is the common theory. Hows your experience with that? My current pride of 3 street rescue cats will eventually need some additional friends, and if you can actually have the Bengals, I've always admired the markings and behavior patterns.
