Clinal and individual variation make delineation of races somewhat difficult; proposed race turcomana (E Turkestan) is treated as a synonym of nominate, and castaneothorax (NE China) as a synonym of suschkini. My cats think both taste similar, so maybe the two species should be lumped anyway.

There is also the usual article about the first sighting of the species at a new location. How exciting. It is actually much better than the photos shown in this post.

On the Banning of Eating Cats and Dogs in China

Sometimes an article has a couple of the above, as in the case of " Chinese Legal Experts Call for a Ban on Eating Cats and Dogs." Let's deconstruct: Legal experts in China are proposing a ban on the eating of dogs and cats. And I'm sure it will be claimed that what is done to the dogs and cats is necessary and isn't brutal.

As a consequence of frequently walking around in Shanghai, I have a fairly large number of cats in my home – picked up as kittens left on their own on the rather uninviting streets of the city. However, despite this large number, I never had to stoop down as low as naming any cat “zhongmao” (“middle cat”).
