EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DAILY DIARY:
Day 183 of My Captivity: My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture.

Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded; must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair, must try this on their bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly, I overheard that my confinement was due to my power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured.

But I can wait, it is only a matter of time .....

Bobcat 1 - Rattlesnake 0
Arizona bobcat's 'surreal' battle with rattlesnake caught on camera
Arizona real estate agent Laura Lucky was not expecting to see a fight between two predators when recently showing a California couple a home in Scottsdale.

In a video of the vicious battle, posted by Lucky on Tuesday, a hungry bobcat is seen attacking a rattlesnake. Lucky told Fox10 the rattler bit the bobcat shortly before she started recording, but that didn't stop the feline from pursuing its next meal.

“The rattlesnake had come up and bit the bobcat on the lip. The cat flew. It was very surreal,” she told Fox10.

In an interview with Fox News on Friday, Lucky said she had “never seen anything quite like that before,” adding that the state lived up to its “Wild West stereotype” in the video

How Old is My Cat in Cat Years?
Discover Your Cats' Normal Life Span, and Their Age in Human Years
It's a known cat fact that cats develop and age rapidly in a short period of time. While we may wish that our kittens and adult cats could live as long as we do, cats develop differently than humans. For example, kittens often develop to the age of a 15-year-old human child in just the first year of their lives, while adult cats are in the prime of their life at 32-years-old in human years, which is only four years young!

Be very careful when choosing your kittens.................

They almost became Darwin Awards nominees!
Cheetahs chase tourists at Dutch safari park after family gets out of car to snap pictures

A French family of three managed to escape a coalition of hungry cheetahs unscathed after they exited their vehicle to snap pictures of the wild animals — and the heart-stopping moment was caught on tape.

At first, the three cheetahs appear calm, lounging on a patch of grass at Safari Park Beekse Bergen, in the Netherlands, as the family parks their car a few feet away. A man exits the car and begins to take pictures of the cats. Moments later, a woman also gets out of the vehicle to put some items in the trunk, with a small child getting out behind her.

... A park spokesman told the station visitors are instructed never to leave their vehicles and warned about the dangers of interacting with wild animals.

"We inform visitors about the risks in several languages throughout the park," the spokesman told NOS.

Especially if you have kitties that go outdoors, you should be aware of this.
Bobcat Fever, mostly spread by ticks.

Aside from the loss of a human life, another tragedy is that they killed the cougar.
It is humans invading and destroying their habitat, not the other way around.
And at times like this, the natural instinct of the cougar is to defend what little territory they have left.

No, that cougar was hunting and classed the cyclists the same as deer.

Domestic cats are dying of Bobcat Fever, veterinarians warn. So what is it?
Veterinarians in states such as Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee are warning pet owners this spring of a deadly parasite that's killing cats.

Its scientific name is Cytauxzoon felis, but it's commonly referred to as Bobcat Fever.

It's called that because bobcats (as well as mountain lions) are said to be natural carriers of the parasite, according to a 2012 article from the University of Missouri. The disease spreads through tick bites, and it mainly affects domestic cats that spend most of their time outside, though it can also infect tigers, the report said.

Leah Cohn, a small-animal disease expert with the University of Missouri, once called it the "Ebola virus for cats," because it can kill cats in a matter of days.
