Cat health problems are prominent, but many can be avoided. Cats are just as likely to get cancer, diabetes and organ failure as humans are. Cats can get diabetes, and it is often caused by a poor diet. Cats are obligate carnivores, which means that they require a diet high in meat and protein. This leads to diabetes.

Choosing the right pet for your child is key. Children can learn so many valuable lessons by caring for a pet. Having pets at a young age instills kids with a sense of confidence that they can take care of an animal and help it to live a thriving life. More importantly I find pets can be great therapy for kids.

They are a commensal species, meaning that they are a wild animal that lives in close association with humans, not as a pet or as a farm animal but more like a parasite, to the extent that it is hard to find them in truely wild settings, and it is hard to find human settlements without them. When a car comes along they fly away.

Just as the ranger was telling us that we might see wild cats – well, not wild cats, but rather, Wildcats , the wild version of the domestic cat, Felis silvestris lybica , one of those cats popped its head out of the brush about 50 feet beyond her. The most interesting thing about this cat was lack of kitty-cat-ness.

UNLESS that is you get yourself down to the internationally-renowned Tambopata Research Centre in southern Peru where literally hundreds of macaws (and other parrots) congregate around a 50 meter high clay bank.

I have two cats: Tj (F, 10) and Mango (M, 3). She is an outside cat so she would spend some of the day outside and then come inside and chill with me and sleep inside. Eventually, they would even buy cat food to feed Tj because she would be around their house often. We are quite close to our next door neighbours.

The Giant Laughingthrush is a bit of a disappointment in that it is not really big enough to eat you (or even a pet cat), even though that is what one would expect from an animal with the Giant part in its name. Wasted effort from the viewpoint of the tree, and a reason why many of these trees are rather fond of cats.
