That's awesome so old and early manufacture , Parker Bros did the Ouija boards as well didn't they.

It's been around since 1890. Parker Bros purchased it in 1966.

It's a beautiful kitty isn't it? I dare say it's a good hunter because it looks very healthy.

If its coat is really that shiney it has a pretty good diet.

A 200+ pound mountain lion will have a foot as big as a man's hand.

Which raises a question: how do mountain lions feet work? Do they run on their toes? Do the toes hit first? Just curious.

I bet somebody feeds it. I would.

Yeah, they're all over here in western Alberta. They have run out of territory and are attacking people because they are starving.

They only kill to eat so if I knew that black cat lived around me, I'd keep it well fed. A full cat is a happy cat. LOL

The scottie dog piece was not introduced until after 1940 when FDR adopted one. His White House dog created a national scottie sensation in the US.

That's interesting. What else do you know about this ?

 

[Sheltie]

I'm pretty sure the scottie is the most popular piece. I used to know someone a long time ago who had a scottie and a westie -- the black and the white versions, though technically I think westies are a different breed.

Excited is more the term. Blowing something out of the stars would appeal to some of the locals around here.

Hahaha... arent guns illegal there?

No not illegal . Bit more restricted than what it was but you can still have rimfire and centrefire rifles but no semi or full auto. Hand guns have always been restricted. Before the 90s there were no gun laws here at all.

So Australians are well armed too, I was given the impression your country was neutered like the English were...

Around here they are well armed. No not neutered at all most people I know here who are armed just went out and bought more guns to replace the ones they had to hand in. Every second house here where I am would have guns in them. High powered rifles are popular due to the Deer and Roo shooting.

Sounds like a safe place for the local folk.
