…and it moves us all…etc. Sorry, I’m a proud member of The Lion King generation.
Needless to say, living on a working ranch, one sees “the circle of life” up close and personal.
Squeaky, our own mini-panther, is quite a mouser. Mom always tells him what a “sweet-y kitty” he is when he brings in another kill (I know, it doesn’t make a ton of sense). We generally prefer it when he doesn’t consume what kills though…
…oh well. I promise, he’s not starving. We are firmly in the “feed every animal all the time” school of thought, not the “they’ll hunt if they’re hungry”.

Rather him than me though! It’s at times like that you realise they really are part of the animal world and when they sit on your lap and purr, they’re only pretending!!!
So true! Squeaky, who really has a very noble air and probably should have a more distinguished name, is actually the best pretender of our three cats as well. He’s a love, in addition to being a fluffy little hunter.
i have a black cat to i love cats so much!!!!!
We definitely have more black cats than not! Both Squeaky and Zip are black, and Whisper is an odd gray.
