I’ve prepared this artwork for international tiger day and if you’re following me on IG or twitter, you probably already saw it! Anyway tigers are my favourite big cats and, I think, favourite animal too.
Wild population of these majestic, endangered predators is now around 3900. In past years their population has growth in India, and now it is home for over 70% of global tiger population.
Three random facts just for fun: -tigers are the largest of Pantherinae subfamily -they pay a key role in the ecosystem, belonging to a group of “umbrella species”. It means that by protecting them, we indirectly protects the many other species and their natural habitats -they use chuffing to communicate. Chuff is usually accompanied with the head bobbing movement and is a kind of “hello, I like you” sign (I love it)

Continuing from Part 1, where I explained how we came to keep Stiles, and his relationships with our other cats… Kiki loves elephants and whales, and especially loves watching them if David Attenborough is narrating. She taught Stiles this love of whales, elephants, and David Attenborough from an early age. He’s particularly fond of baby elephants. He hops up on my desk to watch the You Tube…
Q: Does catnip do anything for a cats’ health or is it just a recreational drug for them? A: It depends on the kitty. If your cat has the gene that makes it sensitive to catnip, it can have some health effects. If your cat consumes it rather than just smelling and rolling in it, it can have a calming effect. Our little guy, Stiles, has feline insomnia. He gets enough REM sleep, but not enough…
Q: Why do cats scream at night? A: There are only 3 common reasons you might hear cats scream at any time. Mating Females will yowl and make a lot of crazy-sounding noises when they are in heat. This is so that all the intact males in the area will know that this is their chance.

Q: Do Cats Think They’re Humans? A: I’m not exactly sure where you got this idea, but it’s a rather simple answer: No. So why bring it up?

By that logic, they would have to think that their dog friends, bunny friends, and other animal friends are also strange-looking cats, but we know they don’t. Cats…
