    That's great to know about the skins Loris 8) Were they difficult to skin?

    That doesn't surprise me about the female cats being cunning. Female rats are like that too. I'll catch countless young male rats but not the females.

    I think your post is a lovely example of permaculture, how we can respect life and be in good relationship with all of our environment.


    I meant to say earlier that I think if one wanted a pet cat within a permie system, one that was 'trained' to not catch natives etc, you'd have to be a cat person, or someone who 'gets' cats.

    And I'm not even sure that 'train' is the right word in the sense of how dogs are trained. It's more like teaching children what's right and wrong rather than imposing will like you do with a dog where it has to learn who is the alpha dog (the owner). I mean try being alpha with a cat and see how far you get :lol:
