The thought that popped into my head was that this cat wasn't his, but a nicked pedigree.....or perhaps I just have a suspicious mind. But consider this: oik wants new reptile, thinks 'work for the money, or........swap it for next door's cat!'
Or have I got a twisted mind?  :shify:
Cats were once gods; they have never forgotten this, nor have the people they own.

Could be admin have removed it then. TBH, don't think they'll be very chuffed about someone trying to swap a cat for anything!

There isn't one, unfortunately. I can't afford any money to pay for this girl nor do I have the space, time or transport to assist really.

If anyone feels they can do anything, the reptile site is called reptilekeeper.

I do hope this cat ends up in the right hands - but an unneutered BSH at that price might not
Please spay your cat

 :Luv:
I like reptiles, i only have land snails at the moment but I love stick insects- they adore a bit of attention. My other half (Dave) loves reptiles and has owned all sorts but we love our cats most of all.

Its a disgrace that he is doing this with his cat, sounds like he doesn't do much real work and relies upon his animals to make moey for him.

castration is to good,why have a cat in the first place,and dogs live in the garden?does this person belong to the human race I am not saying this person does not care for his cats but the fact that it is un-neutered says what sort of person they are >:(

jack we have a lot of `banjo' country down this way and I'm sure that is def the way to go loll... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: 

As for reptiles I've always liked them actually. I am surprised that your gheckos respond to being stroked but then when you look at the tenderness with which  gators treat their young I don't know why I find that surprising really :-:

Ok, for fear of being shot; geckos most definately are NOT more time consuming than cats! (I have two!) And you can stroke them, they just aren't as fluffy as a cat!(Mine respond to being stroked much like a cat, by closing their eyes and raising their head for more fuss!)

Nick, I do think your course of action would be fairly beneficial to humankind, though!

Sonya, you'd love and hate my house at the same time if you think reps are horrible little things!

I do see what you're saying, though. How he can afford a tegu and not a cat, I don't know!(If money is indeed the problem.)

I'm intrigued as to why they have to sell the cat but can afford to keep geckos who are more expensive and time consuming!

he obviously changes his pets like the rest of us change our clothes >:(

Whoever it is I cant understand how they managed to decide which cat to keep and which cat to sell, I think I would rather get rid of my OH than any of my cats, but sounds like the novelty has worn off and now its the reptiles that are taking priority, cant understand that either , ewww horrible little things  :doh: This person is heartless and deserves a slap  >:(

well I should say he is probably an  unemployed  oaf looking to raise some cash so that he can buy some exotic reptiles because that is the flavour of the month for him at the moment.

He's probably thought to himself
`Now how can I raise some money Mmm  I could go to work .......Nahhhhhhh   thats way too drastic  .ummmm...  Ahhhh I know,... I'll sell something I don't want anymore, like the cat.  :doh:

suggested action :-         castration :-:

BSH Female.. 3 years old.. for sale           
not a reptile..
but sadly i have to sell my British Shorthair cat.. she is lilac point, almost 3 years old and is incredibly friendly.. is strictly an indoor cat but she does go out into the backgarden where my dogs live.. for sale as i have two cats and can only keep one..
she is ideal for breeding..
this is hard enough.. so please no timeasters..
she is beautiful and i want £150 for her.. may swap for some high morph geckos or a female tegu..
thanks

I'm not sure what to make of this at all!
