Here we are hunting for those creatures with the Bandit Masks!

We do like you domestic cats, we wish you would stop hissing at us, we are on your side!!!

We travel in a car that dedicates itself to a great British tradition!!!

My name is Nike and I'm a border collie. My Dad would have loved a bye-law like that back in the UK for what he refers to as 'damn cats'...:cool: Alberta leads the way once more!:beer:

When I arrive in Calgary I'm going to start "Free The Kitty Campaign!" I will not be kept a prisoner by my humans ;) If Crafty won't agree with me I will 'strop' all over her house (bad kitty).

Seems that when i get to the new digs in ontario they have work lined up for me catching mice in the barn and woodshed, I still cant work out why i am supposed to catch the mice but i have to leave the squirrels and chipmunks and birds alone? they all seem like good sport to me

But as I sleep for most of the day anyway there will be little time to go out and meet these masked bandits, and that howling at night will scare me. and snow?? wet nasty stuff that sticks to your fur, indoors will be the place for me

if i play it right i reckon i could get away with sleeping on the porch in the afternoons and just bringng home a mouse a month.

Hello, My name is Sasha. When i arrive in Nova Scotia soon my sometimes puddycat friend will be staying here. Mummy says although he is old and has had his nuts cracked he is sooo fiesty he will probably attack a bear if it so much as looks at him the wrong way. He is going to stay with the nice old lady next door - where he spends most of his time anyway and she feeds him food that makes his bottom burp very smelly burps....
I never do that because I am a ladddeee.....
I will miss him but Daddy will give me lots of cuddles because I'm his favourite girl - just don't tell Mum!

Hi Gordon, I must say that I find towels rather chewy, but I do enjoy the odd bit of foil, pringles and poppadums :p

My Name is Charlie and I have a sister called Jasper. We are gender confused...

Last December, I was happily sleeping on the radiator one morning when lots of strange men came around to our house and took away all my possessions. Mum then bundled me up into a car and my sister escaped. Some other people drove us a long, long way, and I spent Christmas on my own in this strange house. A couple of days later Mum appeared with Jasper, and a week after that, another strange man came and took us away. We were in the dark for a long time, and when we could see again it was very, very cold.

We were then interred in a prison with lots of other cats for about two months. No-one came to see us. Then one day she came and took us somewhere else. There were stairs and some funny white stuff that felt cold on the ground.

At first She would not let us out at all. For two months we thought of every possible escape plan. Now she will let us out during the day, but at night there are these nasty big things that don't listen when we growl. She says she won't let us out at all when it gets cold.

I like it here though, because there are lots of mice and birds to catch. Mooning at squirrels is also a lot of fun...

Where am I???????????????? Helllllllllllllllllllllppppppppppppppppppppp :scared: :scared:

My name is grove I’m a cockatiel, and as yet my human family have only read posts so far on this great forum, But on reading this thread my humans can not pick themselves off the ground as they are laughing so much, So I have jumped on to the key board while they are rolling about the floor like fish.

I look forward to moving out to Canada, hopefully my humans will hear in December this year, so I can have my large hallway that they have promised me.

As to the masked animals, I have heard my human’s talk of these things; they spotted them last time they went over to Canada in the trash cans … SO they must be dirty.

As to the scary bit, I don’t think humans are scared of them as they all want to find more when we go out... Even the little ones.

Well my humans are starting to rise, so I will fly off to sit on the highest point of the room to poo down the curtains again…that always makes them put me back in my cage, See they think I don’t really want to go back but I got some seeds that need eating..

Later all Grove Sutherland

Meooowwwww! Did someone mention Cockatiels and fish? ** licking lips in anticipation ** What a delightful combination that would be :cool:

Sutherlands - So sorry for my naughty cat's appalling lack of manners :o

He's been sent to bed early for wanting to create such carnage!

My name is Josh and I'm a very sweet but intellectually challenged pure white German Shepherd.

Things are a little odd at the moment. A strange man measured me and my friend Oscar for something called pet crates a couple of days ago. Our owners go very quiet and speak in whispers when we are around because they suspect that we understand more than we let on.

We have heard them mention some strange place called Canada where animals and people have a lot of space to roam around in. They think that I'm going to get lost in something called snow because I'm the wrong colour. I remember snow from last year although I found it strange because some rather fat imobile people appeared in front of our house who didn't go away when I barked at them. They had strange carrot shaped noses.

If we are going somewhere new then I can't wait to meet other dog type animals. Despite a nasty incident at the vet when I was a puppy, I like to try to hump any dog that I meet. Will these odd things called Coyotes like that :)
Do Racoons taste nice? Will the neighbours still love me when I howl at the moon.

Hello Josh, Perhaps you can ask your Mum and Dad to buy you a flourescent coat that dogs who going hunting are required to wear in Canada....My Daddy has already mentioned this to me but I don't think bright orange does me any favours so I intend to customise it......with my beautiful teeth.....

Racoons are supposed to carry lots of diseases so I'd give them a miss if were you.......you wouldn't want a dodgy racoon to affect a hot date with a coyote........

hi moggle here again, just having a well earned rest as you can see.

My canadian cat friends say that you hounds have to watch out for bears, seems that you see one, bark at it, then get scared and run to your people bringing the bear with you- not wise.

porcupines arent good either, a nose full of quills hurts.

snakes- yuck, leave well alone

and just when you think you are on the alert for all those landbound baddies a huge sparrow will swoop down and get you

so, apart from the coyotes, snakes, racoons, bears, raptors, porcupines and wolves anyone need more good reasons for staying indoors on a comfy duvet?

the mogster

ps, its hard using the keyboard with paws, cant seem to get the attachments to attach...
