No, the stuff after that was about domestic cats... THe big and small cats at the zoo aren't neutered to my knowledge, and if they are, the zoo is going to be having a bit of trouble getting the reproduction they're after with some of them... Tristan wonders if perhaps everyone warps everything he says because he can't say anything properly... anstouh@yahoo.com.au War doesn't prove who's right, just who's left. - BSD Games' Fortune
