To those of you who don’t like porcupines, because “they shoot their quills”… we have some wonderful news:

They don’t.

They never have.

They never will.

Potential predators actually have to make contact with a porcupine to get quilled. Porcupines don’t chase attackers. They are relatively slow animals, so they simply curl in a ball and allow their quills to protect them, like a shield of armor.

If you see an animal with a mouth full of quills, it’s because it tried to bite a scared animal that was curled in a ball. The quills were never shot.

Porcupines CAN NOT shoot their quills. They are disliked by many because it’s assumed they can. Don’t hate on porcupines because of misinformation. They are actually beautiful creatures with lots of personality. They are just very misunderstood.

***REMEMBERING THE CATS***
Thousands of cats were dispatched to the trenches during WW1 to keep rodent numbers down and act as early warning detectors for mustard gas. So many gave great comfort to the troops as companions and mascots. How many cats survived we will never know?
Paws At The Ready -

The cats of World War One had significant role in all the campaigns, we must honour their bravery too.
Give thought to all the kitties
who served in World War One.
A battalion of the finest
who never fired a gun.

What was their role?

Whether hunting rodents out at sea,
or loyal friends to men,
these many cats had vital roles,
time and time again.
The food was saved.

A common sight in trenches deep,
dispatching mice and rats,
the soldiers’ had a special bond
with many of these cats.
Many were treasured mascots.

Five hundred thousand cats were sent
to serve in the Great War.
Some detected mustard gas,
whilst others were off shore.

Some of the feline heroes -

Togo was the Dreadnought’s cat,
The Swan had their lad Ching.
Pincher was the Vinex’s mog,
it was luck they hoped they’d bring.
‘Martinpuich’ was aptly named,
by The 9th battalion chaps.
Pitouchi was the orphaned kit,
who’d survived on army scraps.

Spark Plug, Tabby and many more
were companions to the troops.
The feline unsung heroes,
those cats who became recruits.

We’ll never truly realise
just what these cats went through.
So spare a thought and give some thanks
for what they did for you!
Lest We Forget!
