I can't resist posting a shot of Turbo at his best, even if he is only 19 pounds.

And don't tell me that he is no "breed". Turbo and his ilk is the kind that most resembles Felis silvestris libyca, which is the fountainhead of all cats.

:lol: Only 19 lbs? I'd say he fits this thread just fine:crackup:He's beautiful.

seriously, the neighbour's dachshund is afraid of going outside in its own garden if it sees Sly. This dachshund is not generally afraid of cats. Another neighbour's chickens are also terrified :p He once bit my heel so hard he drew blood because I very gently tried to block his path with my foot to prevent him from going to check out the air mattress I was supposed to sleep on. He got all the Maine Coon looks and none of the gentle giant stuff :p

:hellocomputer:I gave scraggles a heads up about this thread.:catrub:
Thanks Dusty!:touched:

Here's my little flyweight... In at 5.9kg at the last weigh in. I must weigh him again actually as I think he's already bulking up for winter and possibly still growing... :p

I've been doing a little bit of googling around since 1CatOverTheLine 1CatOverTheLine was asking a bit about him and to my (uneducated and biased!) eye he looks a bit like a Siberian... Below are photos I've pulled off the internet of Siberians who, to me, look like cat cousins for Scraggles... :thumbsup:

After his breakfast my routine is to give Oliver a very light mid-morning kibble snack before his main wet meal.

Sometimes he can't be bothered to get off his lazy backside so I have to pour it out of a bucket into this bottomless pit.

He's happy now. I won't have to feed him for at least twenty minutes.

'Please sir I want some more.' I spoke too soon. How could I refuse? At least he's got the right name for that request!
