Icewolves and thermal pools - not a good mix!!

 

NB: On the mud puddle - people come from all around the world to bathe in NZ Mud because of the minerals from volcanoes is very good for extracting toxins and purifying the skin.

 

Dave: Those thermal pools - Rotorua or further up the Island?

 

Was in Rororua, great for skin. I look good for 66 years old ay 😉 

I was

want to check out the Hot Water beach in Kawhia. Its only 4.5 hours up the road. I only knew of the one up Coromandle way, but this one is close and not commercialised.

Don't yah just love those websites that allow you to make your own signs?  

 

 

I recently went back to make another one, but, alas, this site is no longer in existence.  

My all-time fave is this one, though:

 

 

The churchsigns site is also no longer in existence...and soon,

very very soon, it will be joined by all the churches. Revelations 14:8; and 18:2

"Now is the time for preaching with zeal" 

 

Can you tell I've been going through old files again?

My daughter walked from the kitchen to living room to see this, he posed himself!

This is the 'kitten' they found near frozen in the wheel well of a truck last December.

Isn't he cute!

Yes, he is really cute! I think he looks like a Kuril bobtail cat. They have a stocky body with a short tail, and are often called "a catdog".

And if he is a bobtail cat, be careful.

He is a bobtail! And he fetches like a dog! He's amazing, love that kitty! My favorite.

Told MD, hope she looks into it. He really is a sweetie.

That is great! It is actually one of my favourite cat breeds too. There are two types of bobtails: one is from Japan and the other is from the Russian Kuril islands. So they can be quite expensive. 

 

They also follow you like a dog, and can be taken for walks on a leash. They are also very clever and learn all kinds of dog tricks. Many folks over here say that their bobtails go on the toilet like humans and some even flush.

He is quite clever. Surprises MD with what he does.

Because I read/heard/understand that bobcats are and can be dangerous. 

Just looking out for you that's all. ❤️

There is a difference in a "bobtail cat" and a "bobcat"

 

Quote

The Bobtail is a breed of domestic cat. It is most notable for its stubby "bobbed" tail about one-third to one-half the length of a normal cat's tail or shorter.
Scientific name: Felis catus
Rank: Breed
Higher classification: Cat

Mass/Size: Normal "house cat" size

Quote

The bobcat is a medium-sized North American cat that first appeared during the Irvingtonian stage around 1.8 million years ago. Containing two recognized subspecies, it ranges from southern Canada to central Mexico, including most of the contiguous United States.

Scientific name: Lynx rufus
Lifespan: 7 years

Mass: 19 lbs 

 

While the "bobcat" is a "wild animal" and can be quite dangerous ... the "bobtail cat" is a "domestic animal" and makes a very docile pet

Its funny, where I come from, in my part of the world... this is a Bobcat:

Technically, that is a "skid steer" ... to be a "Bobcat" it must say so on the machine ... after all, that is a "brand name"

Here, everyone calls a vacuum cleaner a Hoover.  It might be an Electrolux or other... but they are doing the Hoovering anyway.

Oh. 

Well I was under the impression that if a cat is born with a bobtail, then that makes him a bobcat.
