A cat and a fox share sustenance on a recent day outside the window of a biologist in drought ravaged Texas, who says “In my neighborhood there isn’t much standing water or food for wildlife. Here are two very different species cooperating in order to take advantage of some items we put out for them”.
To what lengths would you go to ensure your animal companion is comfortable? Terri Williams went as far as taking on a second mortgage to pay vet bills and had a custom cat house built just so she could give specially-abled Duster the cat a life of comfort and ease.
One man got the idea to honor black cats and highlight their plight as the last to be adopted at many shelters by designating Wednesday, August 17 as Black Cat Appreciation Day. Thanks to successful social networking efforts over the summer, the online event and its offshoots have made the day a big success.
It’s showtime! As many readers know, the wonderful Cat House on the Kings sanctuary is to be the subject of a National Geographic Channel special television program. The show airs in the US at 10pm EDT/PDT this Saturday night.
