Right now I'm just checking prices and looking at breeders and the quality of the cubs they put out. Also, In order to own a big cat (or any large animal) you have to have a license, so where would I be able to get one. Thanks for all answerer's that intend and do help me! And if you have any other suggestions, that's cool.

do any other cub fans think this is dumb? As for outfielder Matt Murton, he has been told he will be traded or sent to Iowa. General manager Jim Hendry has been working the phone the last two days and could have a deal finalized before Monday." why trade him? we aint going to get a major piece for him. why rid ourselves of depth? he is young and a good person. no troubles on or off the field. so he aint a superstar. i say keep him unless we package him in a bigger deal for a superstar. that is my exact point. they are trying to trade him because they like him. because he is such a good guy. because he deserves to play in majors. and if we got guys in the minors who should be in the majors why trade them? why would you give talent to our competition? just dosent make sense to me......?
