Harlequin shrimps feed exclusively on starfish. So yeah any starfish that goes in there is a tasty treat.

I have a pair in my marine tank, the missus is a manager of an aquatics shop so haven't paid for starfish for years lol.

@donny andi:

Persian cats are cute but what puts me off about them is that they look so sad and even p7ssed off with you- all the time. They don't look like cheerful souls. If I get a Persian cat, I'll have to re-adjust my perception of them with my superior humanly cognitive analytical abilities; in order to feel that they're actually happy with me.
Love is a state of the lover's mind, anyway. You could dearly love a right miserable begger for you 'think' that they're sufficiently cheerful in their own ways.

Seriously cute, but I'd be worried about standing on them

Haha.

You see, Matthew keeps saying how scary his massive Ludo is. Frankly, His cuddly Ludo doesn't give out any vibes whatsoever that trigger fight-flight response in me as a human- none whatsoever. the look of a Persian cat, on the other hand, makes me slightly nervous.

I suggest 'Alcazar' for his name.

PS: if it's a girl, call it Alcazaria.

33lbs now, he grabbed my foot today, I had to unhook him from my heal like my foot was a fish. Cheetahs start at around 44lbs but domestic cats are the strongest breed pound for pound so we have to treat him with respect and caution now.

The Romans feared the Wildcat and they averaged 12lbs.

Awww, kitty kitty cat cats! I just love them! All of them!

On the size and its impact, even my 7kg Rubix makes the floor boards creak like a grown human's foot steps would do, so I can imagine the 33 lb Ludo causing a Japanse tsunami in Matt household.

Stunning looking animal, that! But as it stinks, I would have a problem homing it in my house, no matter how extra-ordinary it looks. I love my little, cuddly, common breed kitties that roll about everywhere in my house without ponging the place out. They drop their hair everywhere, but my Dyson efficiently sorts that. I don't think I can rise above the BO of the French cat, and just get hooked by its looks. Can't spray Lynx deodorant all over it, either. It's very beautiful, though.

Yes, a dog might put up with his abuse! Stupid child. His parents should teach him how to treat animals with respect, not with a slap.

I think the cat still just played back with him by knocking him hard with its whole body weight. If cat had retaliated in anger or in a defensive mode, it would have clawed the kid right into his eye and left him blinded; at least partially. Then again, remember that real American story vid where the car drove away a vicious dog and saved his slave's child with the same tactic, but with a sideways catatee chop (like a karatee chop, I mean)? Perhaps the cat in your vid meant it in all seriousness, Matt.
