I don't think hairless cats are cute. These cats looks scary and strange. Especially their tails.

How about this little guy?  Very colorful, expensive and a bit scary with the leopard coat!

The most expensive cat in the world (at this point in time at least) is a little Asian leopard cat named Zeus (this picture is not of the actual Zeus, but similar).
Only 10% short hair domestic cat and 90% Asian leopard, Zeus is said to be around US$150,000, however, many have their doubts as to why or whether this price is real.

I'll send you some of my ferals.   I'm down to 8 now. I used to have 14. I didn't plan on it. They just find their way here, drop litters and leave. I can't get close to them except for one tiny kitten from the last litter (doesn't even weigh 2 lb. and is almost 3 months old (3 siblings died), one young one from an earlier litter who is so pretty who has taken the little guy under his wing, an older male who was injured by a fall, and his sister.  I tried so hard to socialize the kittens without success except for the little guy (I call Wags because he wags his tail like a dog), his keeper (Fearless because he's not afraid of anything), Neuro (because of his accident), and Mom (because I can't think of a name for her). I didn't name the others because they might be leaving next spring.

But-----we'd rather have a dog.

Pallas Cat

In the grasslands and steppes of Central Asia live this curious species of small wild cats with thick coats that make them look far bigger than they are. These solitary animals spend most of the day in caves and only emerge in the late afternoon to start hunting. Habitat degradation and hunting have seen these felines become threatened.

I have seen cats like that before and they are not my cup of tea. I like cats that look like cats who have fur.

I'd still love that cat.

This is so sad!

Four mountain gorillas, including a baby, have been killed in Uganda by a suspected lightning strike, wildlife officials say.
The gorillas were killed Monday in Mgahinga National Park, according to the Greater Virunga Transboundary Collaboration, a wildlife conservation partnership serving the region.

“Based on the gross lesions from the post-mortem, field assessment observation and history, the tentative cause of death for all four individuals is likely to be electrocution by lightning,” the officials said.  Confirmation of the cause of death is expected in two to three weeks

An endangered species, mountain gorillas are the world’s smallest population of gorillas, according to the World Wildlife Fund. The gorillas inhabit the Virunga Mountain Range, which spans Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources says that there are about 600 mature mountain gorillas remaining, but the population is increasing.

I would never own any kind of pet that looks like this. I mean why does this even exist anyway. I another man made pet to sell to a bunch of people that like to throw their money away.

Got it done!!   3 yr rabies for my pup and only took about hour at the Vet clinic!  We have a great clinic every week, they do shots, exams, ears, express the dogs, and just about anything else for pets you can imagine!  Love them!  Used to use Banfield at PetSmart but the plans were climbing higher and higher every month so had to switch! 
Next, is license time, mandatory here (got till April)  Yay for me!

We have to save our wildlife from ourselves again!!  Please comment on this!  This website has some very graphic pictures of cruel treatment of elephants, so be forewarned.

A herd of 32 elephants could potentially be culled after a conservationist was trampled in South Africa.

South African architect-turned-conservationist, Beyers Coetzee was trampled and killed by a pair of elephant bulls on Mawana Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal province last week.

He fired two shots into the air in an attempt to scare the elephants in the right direction, but instead this provoked the bulls to charge and trample him, his brother-in-law, Johannes van der Walt told News24.
