All Maine Coons get that big! I'd never heard of them until I watched Harry Potter and decided I wanted a Wildcat like Mrs Norris.
I have some frozen beefheart cubes I've bought from a garden centre but none of my fish are crazy about it. I don't think I love them enough to do what you suggest with the heart lol. The Silver Sharks aren't currently eating anything websites suggest but they are nosing about in the gravel alot so hopefully they will bottom feed like the Rainbow Shark I have.

We paid £15 for a Bristlenose a year ago and I've only seen it 3 times.

I once bought a spiny nosed eel and found on the carpet two days later after not seeing it for some time, stiff as a crisp to this day I thought I should put it back in the tank a I learnt years after they can survive out of water for some time, a bought a chocolate cat fish and called it galaxy, and after years in my tank my mate took him on when I moved house and he still is going to this day 20 years on and hides all he time

Is it big? They were selling a Gator Gar on Denby Dale road around a year ago, it was only around 10" so I hummed and aahed for a day or two but I'm not experienced enough for that challenge.

Just read that there are only 400 Scottish Wildcats left in the world and that they look set to be extinct in our lifetime. http://www.highlandtiger.com/about_highland_tiger.asp Scottish Wildcats are real powerhouses - pound for pound they are as powerful as any other cat alive, including tigers! - and they have an explosive top speed of up to 30mph.

Maybe a cause the club could promote??

Only seen one wildcat here in Sulawesi. It ran across the road at night in front of my motorbike, scared me to death. Size of a labrador. They're fairly rare around houses as they tend to make themselves unpopular by eating people's chickens.

Might be a good idea the next time the Wildcats play the Tigers down at BV. Afterall the Wildcats used to native to England and Wales too. Someone could hand a out/display a few leaflets about websites promoting the cause with a small percent of the gate takings going to donations to help conservation etc. The cause itself might get a few feline lovers down to BV.

I spend a lot of time wandering around various parts of the Highlands, I've seen Deer, screeching soaring Buzzards and a Scottish bloke once but the sight of a Wildcat would probably bring a tear to the eye.

don't know if there are any nurses / doctors that come on here but would just love thank all that work at pinders who have to enduring poor facilities but still just get on with the job in helping patients,
last week my mother suffered septicemia in which she was close to death and one week later is sat up ready to get on with life again,
without these angels where would we be, she's not out of the woods yet but has made a fantastic recovery
bless them all
