Hello Frances,
He’s just an ordinary size cat. I live next to the Bush and he just turned up out of the blue and spent two nights meowing outside my window before I decided to adopt him. I’d say he’d been dumped. He subsequently brought home several rabbits, some possibly fully grown, and ate every last scrap including the fur. I didn’t hang around to watch. Wild rabbits here tend to be a bit on the scrawny side.
Since then I’ve fattened him up (the cat not the rabbits) on tins of Seafood Platter and now I don’t think he would even be able to catch a Cold.
Alan.
Frozen Easter eggs in Ontario?

I have two cats. The calico (lioness) does the hunting. The orange and white one (lion) watches. One day I was working upstairs and had left the front door open a bit so they could come and go. I heard a lot of noise downstairs and when I went to look there was a young rabbit hopping around my laundry room with two cats sitting in the doorway looking fascinated! 
I keep a small butterfly net with a long handle on hand to catch the hummingbirds that sometimes find their way into my livingroom. I was able to net the bunny and return it to the woods. The cats headed for the food dishes for a snack before a nap. The whole experience was exhausting for them!

Yep the egg hunting is a new one here in Scotland although we laways knew of it having American rellies.
Easter Monday would have us rolling our hand-decorated hard boiled eggs down the hill at either Goldenhill or Dalmuir Park.
Mum would wrap them in onion skins to stain them & then we would add paint etc to them.
If they landed on the road at the bottom of the hill they would splat & we would not be able to eat them.Tears before bedtime then.

Hi All
When I was a child growing up in Montreal, we always hunted for Easter Eggs, and chocolate bunnies, in the house. I remember that I thought that it was a lot of fun.
I also remember reading somewhere, that egg rolling, was first recorded in Egypt, around 1000 BC. It had, of course, nothing to do with the Christian Easter, but was part of Springtime renewal of life Festivities. 
Regards
