Vincent The WILD Magpie Steals Food From Phoenix The Cat
I love cats, and I love birds – the trouble is; they do not go together. Here on Queensland’s Gold Coast, we have Australian Magpies (they look different to the ones I grew up with in England – European Magpie). Some wild Magpies become tame enough to eat out of your hand – this is [...]

New office chair (for the cat).
This week I bought a new office chair. Because of my cat. It’s all her fault. My girl cat Nimue likes stealing my office chair. It is not related to heat because she sits in it when I haven’t used it for ages. At times she sleeps on it. If I borrowed my wife’s chair [...]

Pet's Wish List
This list is common around the Internet in various forms. I am unsure of who is the author of this version. The list is called the “Pet’s Ten Commandments”. Personally I prefer to call it a ‘Pet’s Wish List’. We should all be doing these things as a matter of course, however many items can [...]

Why didn't they use a tranquilizer round?
A lioness escaped from her enclosure and was moving towards a public area of a NSW zoo. So they shot her dead. I cannot understand why they would not have used a tranquilizer round, instead of a lethal one. The zoo claims: She was part of the Mogo Zoo family and a very important animal [...]
