i would like to buy another magazine for it though, when the foxes and roos are about, 4+1 just isnt always enough.

anyone know where i might find one? seem to be rare as hensteeth

Re: here puss puss

definitely feral... like some of the sheilas ;) no, no native cats here in aus... the tasmanian tiger (extinct) was more doglike anyhow cats, like foxes, are wreaking havoc with our native wildlife who have all but no natural predators (aside from birds of prey and dingoes i suppose)... this one was...
