Paddy, where in Northern Ontario are you? - I used to live in the Cochrane district. We had an 18lb pure white Angorra Tomcat that used to roam the bush for weeks and months at a time. I could tell you stories about that cat ......

The location was just south of Sundridge/Bernard Lake on Hwy 11. My friend used to have a restaurant there. It's a great location, being just on the border of Algonquin Park.

Sounds like you had an 18lb fur-ball.
