Cows are sacred in India, and so are cats

Our Big Two Legged One discovered this information
and thought she'd share it --

She has found, in her travels in India,
that cows are truly allowed free reign in this culture.
Here's one she found
having a zen moment
on top of a rather large pile
of what appears to be garbage:



She was wondering if their were any 
mystical magical attributes 
that were assigned to cats,
and upon searching, she found out
about the mythological figure of Sasti,
who is the goddess of married woman:


She is " the giver of children, assists at childbirth, and is the guardian of young children. She is represented as a golden-complexioned woman with a child in her arms, riding upon a cat; hence no Hindu woman would under any circumstances injure that animal, lest she should offend the goddess and be made to suffer for it."  (found on sacredtexts.com )

Of course, there are other cats in India
that you wouldn't want to mess with either --



Right now, the BTLO knows one thing for sure,
she can't wait to come home and give us some respect,
because she knows we're missing her a lot!

You've heard of Cock-A-Poos and Golden Doodles?

Well, of course,
a Liger
would be a cross
between a 
Lion
and a Tiger,
and it appears that that 
hybridization
can have some side effects.


Here's another fabulous video
about examining and observing
Ligers
after they were saved from a back yard in Mississippi:

Big Cats Have Feelings Too



(. . . . we found this picture with "Stumble!" but it just came up as a picture.)


We found this picture above, and at least one other great picture
of our large cousins the Tiger
yesterday,
and we really wanted to just share them,
because they were really cool.

We also found this blog called
devoted to saving
exotic cats in Florida,
and we thought it was
pretty darned neat. 

Check it out if you're interested.
You know, 
it's just that we can relate:
it's bad enough for little cats like us
to be taken as pets and left cooped up
or otherwise taken from our
true environment.

It's even worse when you're a Big Cat.

Here Piggie Piggie, I mean Kitty Kitty


Who would have ever thunk it?



At a zoo in Thailand,
pig moms take care of tiger cubs.
