A new cat species was just discovered. Several more may follow
Editor’s note: Last week, the description of a “new” cat species from Bolivia made headlines around the world. The tilcayo (Leopardus tilcayo), a small spotted cat from Bolivia’s Yungas cloud forests, was described as the first new living cat species discovered in more than a century. Unlike several cats recognized as new species in recent […]

I have lived with cats almost my entire life but I do not believe that I have EVER had “expensive“ cat toys

It usually works better if I can get the mouse away from the cat while the mouse is still alive to tell all it's friends and relatives …

I haven't been posting much lately...
Over the weekend one of our cats had to go do the emergency vet due to crystals blocking his urinary tract. An x-ray then showed kidney stones and he needed surgery.
He's back home recovering, on drugs, not happy about the cone, making a mess of everything, and we're thankful we could save his life.
I mean, we are now broke, in credit card debt, and canceling next years holiday, but, hey... cats! We love 'em!

My wife and kids are away for a couple of days leaving me alone at our place [well me and the cat]. This morning I woke up and on autopilot I made two coffees (I always make a coffee for my wife, since I get up first). Only when I finished did I realise what I had done.
On the plus side, two coffees for me! And apparently I needed two anyway for my brain to work properly.
The takeaway from this story is that everything worked out just great.

A cat wandered into the farm, very affectionate, bit skinny, knows about houses and doors, clearly not a typical stray, and begging for food. We are now at the vet to see if she has a chip (or a dread illness).
