Very weird story. Very well shot mini-documentary.
The Last Days of Peter Bergmann
In 2009, a man arrived in an Irish town with a plan to disappear forever. Directed by Ciaran Cassidy.

Yes it's a new and scary world but I think it's absolute nonsense to claim it is 'far more worrying' than Turkey, a country of 75m on Europe's doorstep slipping into a theocratic dictatorship. C'mon now.

That's the business model. That's all it is, a business model.

Had "they" halted it, they might have designed a better system that didn't cause such constant human carnage and pollution.

Even if you cant find a breeder in Ireland (and maybe you should consider the breed you want first) it wouldn't be overly difficult to find one in the UK and bring the animal to Ireland from there (once chipped and vaccinated).May you live in interesting times!

I wanted a munchkin or a ragdoll. They used to give an EU passport.
It might be better to get a rescue. I think I can get ragdoll kittens here though.
This is a Ragdoll Kitten. I have loved them for ages!
They grow up to be like this.
They are perfect lap cats :P So floppy!
But it was only recently i just thought munchkins were cute...But rescues are good too...
I was waiting until Griffin was as healed as he was going to get really.

Originally posted by PeaceandFire View PostI know I was thinking that too. But her kitten passport would need to be in order! I think from the UK would be too much for a kitten! Too long a way.
.
If you want something specific then it's worth finding the right breeder.
Edit... dont go for blue eyes and white fur... most likely to be deaf (though not sure if that's all breeds).Last edited by bp_me; 17-04-17, 17:07.May you live in interesting times!

Did you go through this yourself and adopt that way? I don't know if I would be able to leave them in a carrier for the length of time of the journey from NI to Irl ...i know people do though. It's just sounds very stressful. Ragdolls are more expensive here in Irl though I am not sure why....fewer breeders maybe. They are pedigrees though..i would be happy with a moggy too ...

I wouldn't have any concerns about the journey from more or less anywhere in NI to Wexford. It's only a few hours and you wouldn't be leaving the animal alone at any stage.May you live in interesting times!

..also ragdolls are indoor cats because they are so docile..but that is EXACTLY why i love them so ...just so floppy
**see a new video with Caspian grown up! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrwHiHzS47MMeet Prince Caspian, a Ragdoll cat. He loves his toy mouse, playing tag...
I LOVE British Short hairs Yes I had heard about white cats with blue eyes being deal in a lot of breeds not for ragdolls though...they all have blue eyes. Even the ones that are sable or flame.Last edited by Guest; 17-04-17, 17:20.

It's possible to (almost literally) brush an entire other cat's worth of hair off of him and still have him look as furry as ever!May you live in interesting times!

Going to bring the kids to Fairyhouse tomorrow as part of my long-running "get the kids into racing so that when they are old enough, they will drive Daddy to the races where he can drink and gamble away to his heart's content" strategy. It's a long con."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
