This is Max

[Maggie3fan]

His people are fentanyl users and pushers who got busted, a friend tried to help w/the dog, but she is pregnant...so I ended up with a dog! He's way suffering seperation anxiety, he's never had a toy, never chased a ball. He's afraid of everything, he walks w/his feet making high steps in the tall grass, they didn't have a yard. But he's very smart, does pull on a leash, he's sweet as hell. But when he gets excited, he jumps high in the air, and licks me on the way past my face...anyway...I just hope I can do right by him
oh...he's 40 pounds of Border Collie mix

He looks like a nice dog and should learn quickly with his Border Collie genes. Good for you for taking him away from a problem home.

Good luck with him!

If anyone can help him to live a better life, it's you, Maggie.

Awww poor pup. Hopefully he will get adjusted and be able to play, relax and enjoy being a dog. Good luck.

How do/did your cats react to him? And vice-versa?

 

[DoubleD1996!]

Thanks for taking him in

 

[TammyJ]

This was seen on my back patio while I was placing my "hurricane season" gas cans into my shed.
I don't own cats

Calico means it's a female

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Calico means it's a female

Is that right?

 

[The_Four_Toed_Edward]

Is that right?

This is what Wikipedia has to say: "Calico cats are almost exclusively female except under rare genetic conditions, e.g. in the case of chimerism or Klinefelter syndrome."

It's one of 2 cats that have taken over my yard

Yes, calicos are female. Very rare for one to be a male.
They must feel you and your home is a safe place for them. Some food and fresh water daily would help them and in return they will help keep varmits under control. Especially the female, they are better hunters than males.

I have been feeding them. But, I have a feeling that a lot of people are feeding them

Didn't I say that? In my 80 years of living in a cat family, and being a cat person, I have never seen a male Calico...Here is Maks just one of my cats
This is Smokey
And this is Lil Sh*t and Grayson...lol
yep I like cats...Smokey and Maks have gone to The Rainbow Bridge...but the other 2 hellions are trying to get used to having a dog...

You'd better hope she's spayed... or you'll have more cats than you want

I absolutely didn't doubt what you said, I just wanted to find out how rare it is for them to be male.

I already have two more than I want

They're just trying to get you to change how you really feel about cats, man. Is all.
