A study from Oakland University suggests that cats may experience grief-like behaviors, such as reduced eating and increased attention-seeking, after the death of a companion pet, indicating that cats might mourn the loss of their animal companions.

It was originally thought that Egyptians domesticated cats, but French archaeologists have found evidence that our close relationship with cats may have begun much earlier than originally thought. A 9,500-year-old cat grave discovered in Cyprus predates Egyptian art about cats by over 4,000 years, making this the oldest known pet cat. 🙀

While on average cats live just to be nearly 12 years old, a study says certain behaviors can shorten the lifespan of our feline companions. Pennsylvania SPCA animal advocate Carol Erickson explains.

The tragic and distressing story of a Wyoming wolf being chased down and killed by a snowmobile sparked global outrage and prompted the introduction of a new bipartisan bill in Congress.

The Snowmobiles Aren’t Weapons (SAW) Act, proposed by U.S. Representatives Don Davis (D-NC) and Troy Nehls (R-TX), aims to prohibit the use of snowmobiles and other vehicles to chase or run over wildlife on federal lands across all 50 states.

This legislation would cover extensive areas of National Forest and Bureau of Land Management lands in Wyoming. However, it would not alter the legality of such practices on private or state-owned lands.

Join us in urging Congress to pass the SAW Act and ensure that no other wolves suffer in this way.

DAVID: QUIET STRENGTH. Rescued by ADI from a circus in Peru, David never left his circus cage, he was just an exhibit dragged from town to town. He had no space to run, never felt the grass beneath his feet nor the sun on his back. When we tried to him into our freedom cage to take him to a new life, he was frightened to step from that small cage into the unknown. After a little time and patience, he took his first steps toward his new life. That was almost ten years ago. Now in the 4-acre Camo Habitat at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, South Africa he has the space he roams freely and that frightened lion stepping hesitantly from his cage seems a long time ago.
We are all thinking about David after he lost his companion Easy a few weeks ago. He is getting extra TLC and seems to be coping well.

Of course.

Did you know: Studies show that cats know and recognize their names, but often do not come when called. So, if you think your cat is simply ignoring you, you’re probably right. 😹🐾

Pancreatitis was once thought to be very rare in cats, but is now recognized more frequently. This may be due to improvements in testing and diagnostics available to veterinarians. Though a few infectious diseases, such as Toxoplasma gondii, have been associated with the development of pancreatitis in cats, in over 95% of cases there is no obvious underlying cause.

This 1961 photo is called “The Mob”, and was shot by professional cat photographer Walter Chandoha. Originally a WW II combat photographer, his signature style was filming cats at their eye level. He collected nearly 100,000 cat photographs and it’s pretty cool that someone made a career out of this.

WWP executive director Erik Molvar paid a visit to Wolf Connection this week, meeting with other wolf advocates and plotting efforts to advance wolf restoration and recovery throughout the West. It was great to meet some of the wolves, a species that WWP is working hard to protect!
