Common name for a feline animal
Seeing your Greek cats…. these little things were hanging around our table at an outdoor restaurant on a recent holiday. They were really starving and so thin, so what could we do but give them some scraps of sword fish we had left. Of course they kept coming back for more. This is quite common in Greece, but a nearby diner (quite well fed too) had to have his say by giving us unapproving looks. What could we do… we ignored him of course and carried on feeding these poor creatures!
Hi reader… Norm here again.
Well I finally got my owner to take a picture of my cat house (which he likes to call a kennel… but I’m having none of it ~ it’s nowhere near as good as a kennel!).
Well here’s me thinking what lovely house this is… made out of some left over wood from the new floor and covered in roof felt,to keep the rain out… but what does he then do, but show me a picture of some continental cats palace (I mean just look at it!), all made of posh timber and covered in a shiny tile and button mosaic…
.. but I’m not jealous, honest.
Well, lucky old Max I must say! I think I need to have a word don’t you.

Cat of the Month ~ May 2009
Reported in the National Geographic News in August 2007, a remote camera captured this image of the elusive Chinese mountain cat at about 12,300 feet (3,750 meters) on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau in China’s Sichuan Province.
A total of eight images of the feline (using a camera triggered by the body heat of the animal), represent the first time the mountain cat has been photographed in the wild, said Jim Sanderson, a cat specialist with the Wildlife Conservation Network who has been studying these animals for the last four years. Jim led the team that snapped the rare shots.
Sanderson is hoping that the new images will reveal some of the secretive habits that have kept the creature a mystery to scientists for nearly a century.
Another image (above) of this species of cat has been taken at a zoo in Beijing. This cat has taken a defensive posture in fear of its captors.
The Mountain Catcat’s long, dense coat and thick underfur protect it from harsh Tibetan snowstorms, but such defenses are useless against local hunters, who covet its pelt.
“Until now, even cat specialists had only seen this animal as skins or in less than perfect shape in zoos”, said Jim, “These [new camera-trap] pictures will call attention to one of the rarest and most beautiful small cats.”
Hi Reader,
This was forwarded to us here at Moggyblog.Com by a fellow cat lover.
This studious cat is amazing and certainly baffled us. Try it out to see how you fair with this puzzle. We’re certainly going to teach our lad this trick.
Just click on the link to open the powerpoint file. I’ve checked it for spyware and the like and its quite safe.
