This nice photograph reminds us that the cute and cuddly small wild cat species are not actually cute and cuddly but fierce and defensive when handled by humans.

In memory of Martha Kane:

Click this link to go to the Kitty Appeal website that was owned and run by the late Martha Kane. This is my memorial to a lady who rescued cats in Malta and who I visited. Her partner keeps the site alive.

This site is about 17 years old! There are more than 20,000 articles. The infographics on the site can be used free of charge under a creative commons license. Just tell me.

Note: sources for news articles are carefully selected but the news is often not independently verified. Also, I rely on scientific studies but they are not 100% reliable.

I welcome and value comments. Please share your thoughts. Where they are available, comments are currently unmoderated.

This blog is seen in 199 of the world's countries according to Google Analytics which is pretty much the entire world.

This is a Michael Broad blog. There is the occasional guest author.
