Re: Cats, cats, and more cats!
Alfred, re absolutely gorgeous pic of two cats in bowl:
There were two kits, into a bowl sprang
One called Ying, and the other Yang.
Funny, it's true, that's the thing
One is Yang, and the other Ying.

Thanks for the little ditty, Jack! I, too, found it hard not to see the yin-yang connection.
You can always judge a person, or a nation perhaps, by the way it treats animals. I'm following the war in Ukraine via a few Twitter accounts - defence journalists, military experts, government officials and advisors, and the like. Plus quite a few animal rescue supporters. Over and over again, there are posts about animals being saved, by both civilians and military. The latest involves a little black house panther, on the now famous Snake Island.
"The man who saved him told the story of the kitten's rescue.
"In the first stage of the operation, we took a picture of the island's territory with a drone," said the special forces soldier, wearing a mask to conceal his identity, while the kitten, just a few months old, curled up in his hands.
"The commander saw the little comrade, and included the task of bringing him back as one of the mission objectives."
Was it hard to find a little kitten on a big, windy island?
"We thought it would be difficult, but he found us," the soldier said. "The report we made to the commander after we left the island was: 'Mission complete, no casualties. One additional team member - a kitten called Snake.'""
Ukraine war: 'Mission complete. One additional team member: a kitten called Snake'
There is also a You Tube clip, and in the bit where they show little Snake being first found when they were on the way to raise the Ukrainian flag, as they raise the flag, if you look closely you can twice see just the tip of a little black tail right at the bottom. https://youtu.be/13akSqL3gzY

It's been a while since a cat post, so here are some pictures of the cat referred to in message 6 above.
She has a very tiny, highpitched "mew", so we call her "Squeaky". However she is not tiny in size! the cushions on the couch she is on are 2 feet deep, and she is just touching the backrest with her long fur.
By the way, she's a pretty good match for the carpet (see message 22)

Squeaky is such a little beauty, so fluffy-looking. Has she got the Cat Master/Mistress, Human Slave thing properly sorted? And so very kind of her to colour-code herself to your carpet.

Absolutely!
She was a stray, that we would see occasionally for a few weeks, and would run off when she saw anyone. It was quite while before we could get close, but she eventually got us under full control.
It's quite dangerous for stray cats around here. No traffic, but coyotes, bob cats, raccoons, eagles and black bears, and once in a while, a cougar.
A bob cat attacked a couple of chickens recently, and one died a week or so later. Squeaky saw it from about 20 yards, and disappeared below the house in a flash. She can move quite quickly when danger threatens.
Just a few evenings ago we had a visit from a mother bear and two cubs out in the field adjacent to the house.

Wow! I think the most exciting thing we get in our back garden is a hedgehog!
Good to know that Squeaky lives a safe life. Here in the UK, because of lack of any real predators, cats are often free-range. All our previous cats would come and go with the cat-flap, although we always locked them in overnight after our first black cat, Tasha, brought home a weasel or ferret at 23.00 which we ended up catching and releasing in a nearby field just before midnight.
Our latest Kitty Master, our third house panther Binx, voluntarily became a house cat at around 18 months old. We think he'd been bullied by another cat and decided he preferred the safety of indoors. As he has a tendency to bilateral patellar subluxation in his hind legs (he really impressed the vet on a recent MOT visit as to just how much and easily his back knees could pop in and out, in all directions!) I'm actually quite happy about this. If he were to be out and about and make a bad jump (he always lands in a 4-legged 'splat' which probably explains the BPS) and was unable to get back home it could end badly for him. He seems generally quite content wrapping himself in the curtains as he sits on his cat-tree, or lurks under the sofa covers.

Amongst all the rubbish one sees on Quora there is occasionally something amusing! This caught my eye, and although I'm not too sure I like where the area I live in is positioned......
