This website has been on the internet for a very long time (17 years as at 2024 while the average is around 5 years) and I have decided to slow down because over that lengthy timeframe the internet has changed radically. And for me, unhappily, in the middle of 2024 AI suddenly became a major feature of search in taking over the role to a large extent. This made a high percentage of content sites almost invisible to internet users.
Add to that Google’s most devastating algorithm change for smallish, independent, content websites in which Reddit was elevated and content sites severely suppressed in search results and you have demotivation 😢 😱 and a crash in advertising income. It was time to slow down anyway 😉. However, things might change for the better! Here’s hoping. Highly unlikely it has to be said.
Latest posts Categories Below are the categories strongly advised ) to discover all that you’ll need to know about cats; wild, domestic and in-between. In using the search tool you’ll also discover information about dogs and many articles on the human-to-animal relationship in general. The focus throughout is animal welfare and the conservation of wildlife and nature.

We are the guardians of the planet and all the animals supported by it. I think it fair to say that we are doing a poor job. Humans are very human-centric and self-indulgent. Animals are vulnerable. Extinctions are on the rise. Conservationists are behind the curve .
