My parent's dog and my cat. My folks breed Rhodesian Ridgebacks, ie lion hunting dogs, but the only thing that they hunt is crumbs fallen on the sofa.

The dogs were bred originally as a cross between a native (now extinct) semi-domesticated dog used by the native tribesmen to protect and guard (which is where the ridge came from) and a verity of European hounds imported when the area was colonized. The resultant "breed" was used by the English to hunt in packs of 3-5 dogs, their main purpose was to chase, aggravate, tire, and hold the lion at bay for a number of hours until the lazy hunter could come around and shoot it (depressing I know).Oh, that's so funny. Thanks for posting it. How are they supposed to take down lions, anyway. I think I'd vote for the lions.
The cat loves water and when he can, sneaks in the shower with me. I usually take the opportunity to shampoo and condition him, so he generally stays pretty white (and allergen free). He's a bit of an oddball.Is that an albino cat?!
Say what?nice dog, not a fan of cats though.... they carry mind altering parasites... no for real, they do
"One recent study showed that the parasite makes normally cautious rats outgoing and more prone to engage in reckless behavior..."
