Yes, aquariums, I would avoid. I'm talking more of an outdoor pool where they could stay year round and then a small indoor pond area for those that can't take the winter.

Good idea! The hubby can make me a pond! We've talked about the idea before for fish, but I could probably talk him into it now that he's diggin' the new turtle so much.

Sorry I missed this Daiv.

I used to put my (clipped) pet Nanday in a small lemon tree for a few hours a day and one day I went out and bamm! there were two in the tree! :shock:
It was a bit hesitant at first but was tame and came to me after it saw my bird was not afraid of me. :)

The others I can only explain as possably having heat exhaustion/dehydration on 100+deg days and were to weak to escape.
After a little rehabilitation they were as good as new.
The cockatiel is studding right now at a friends house that is a breeder, seems his male birds wernt getting the job done so he asked if he could use mine to try and get em going again. :lol:

Thanks!
He was looking at either his mouse or one of his penguins(For some odd reason he loves penguin toys. He doesn't play with many toys except for anything that looks like a penguin, he has 4 different penguins and loves them and plays with them all of the time, but hardly ever touches his mouses or toys with catnip in them or any other toy. Just penguins!) My cat is wierd, I know. :lol: I'll look for another picture from that same time of what he was looking at.

Here you go. The biggest Tom Cat I've ever seen. Hard to tell in the pic, but this guy is huge! It is a feral cat that stopped long enough for me to get this picture this summer:

Here are my fabulous cats. I had a cat for 15 years that recently died of cancer. I got these two from the local shelter.

First we have Spot. She's a female and was about 2 years old when I got her. She's very vocal, especially at breakfast time! She has huge paws for her size and has very short hair.

Posing for a pic...

And now for Red. He's had several names; he was Julius when we got him (Orange Julius, get it? ha...). He showed an immediate proclivity for catching and killing things, so he was Hunter for a while. Then I figured he probably wasn't such a good hunter but really a lucky killer. Something would wander past him and he'd grab it. So he was Killer for a while. I don't really like multiple syllable names for my cats so now he's Red. He was 5 months old when we got him. This is the first male cat I've ever had. I've had to bathe him once already and it looks like monthly baths are going to be required.
