[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 390347, member: 4040"] Mattsmom...toy panthers are big black cats. About 18 months ago, a mama cat left five black kittens outside our bathroom window. Son #2 took two of them, leaving us with three. When the kittens were big enough to climb out of the dryer box we had them in, I bought a ferret cage for them, to keep them safe from our Jack Russell when we weren't home, and since they slept in a cage, Miss KT started calling them toy panthers. They are now 20 pounds each, and are basically kittens in cat bodies. Pretty much anything is fair game for them to play with, carry around in their mouths, fight over, you name it. They are often destructive in their play, so we put them in their habitat when we leave for work and at bedtime. Their habitat is in a corner of the living room; the penthouse is their bedroom, the middle level is the dining room, and the basement has their box. We have them trained to hop in the cage; we rattle a bag of cat treats and call out, "Panther treats! Panther treats!" and all three come running. We'd kept the panther boys and the senior cats separated, because of Hubby's ancient cat (he was blind and had had several strokes, leaving him unstable while walking and unable to defend himself), but now that Dust has passed, we've introduced the two groups.
