    Once long ago a friend dropped by who was cat-sitting someone’s pet ocelot, and brought her along, 36 inches tall at the shoulder, such dignity, amazing energies coming off her when you petted her, softest fur you can imagine and of course Soooo beautiful, mostly ignored us and played with an orange peel a little bit. Of course anyone would wonder about having such a wild one in a home environment, but apparently she lived on a kind of preserve, and at least I got to make contact. Whenever else would you?!

  • dawndavies replied

    oh wow how wonderful that must have been, sadly once many years ago, oh my that many many years ago, i was at a junk sale and a big cat skin was for sale, i was horrified, and what made it worse no one knew what cat it came off, from that day on i have been agianst anything being killed for its skin, and yes i would love to touch one, one day i will go to new zealand and see the lion mans big cats, and if they want to eat me, so be it hehe dawnx

  • MountainHawk

    MountainHawk

    Aaaw they look so warm and cuddly! Very nice work! Sucks that they are on the endangered list. It seems as if the human race is very slowly waking up but will we awaken soon enough?

  • dawndavies replied

    many thanks, and i agree with you, scares me to think that the lions i show to my grandaughter will not maybe around, what a shame our human race can be, if only we could be more like the creatures of this planet, they dont care what race you are or what you believe in, they just go about their daily life,dawnx
