Download or read book Blackcat the Autobiography of a Feral Cat written by Diana Maloney and published by . This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Blackcat" had survived in a heavily forested area of the Pacific Northwest for some years, according to local residents who had noticed him occasionally venturing out into a clearing to bask in some rare rays of sunshine. He would flee if anyone approached, and it was obvious that he had never known the touch of a human hand, or even been close enough to know human voices. Coyotes lay in wait for him, and as he grew older the time would come when he would not be able to move fast enough to escape, destined to become part of the food chain. Cat lovers everywhere likely know of feral cats in their neighborhood but sadly, most people don't know how to deal with the problem. And no, even a formerly homeless kitty does not have to be subjected to the inhumane practice of "declawing." With a little training, (using a plant misting bottle of water if they attempt to scratch furniture, etc.), together with a good scratching post such as the cardboard, "alpine" type, cats soon learn where to scratch and what places to avoid.This kitty autobiography was written partly to chronicle the life of a little homeless cat who was lucky enough to become a special member of a human family, but also to carry some important messages that need to reach pet lovers everywhere. According to HSUS, approximately four million cats and dogs are euthanized annually in the United States. About one every eight seconds. Spaying/Neutering is essential if every domestic animal is to have a home. Secondly, we should be adopting our pets from shelters rather than breeders to try to reduce overpopulation. Thirdly, there is a world-wide misconception about "feral" cats - they are not necessarily "wild", and as in the case of "Blackcat", these kitties are only a generation away from the lap kitty who has always known human contact. In many cases, with loving patience they can be "turned," only to become amazing pets. Where "Blackcat's" autobiography is donated to shelters, total costs of production will be borne by the author - in other cases, royalties will be donated to animal charities.

Book excerpt: The Australian bush holds many secrets, and one of its biggest is ?about to be revealed. For decades there has been talk of big cats roaming the Australian bush. These large cats - predominantly black - have only afforded their witnesses fleeting glimpses, and left behind tantalising clues: scraps of fur, a paw print or three, unusually large scats, and livestock carcasses surgically dismembered and picked clean of flesh. In their wake, they leave carnage and bewilderment: What are they? How did they get here? The authors don't just ask the questions, they seek the answers, and what they have found will intrigue the sceptic and the believer alike. The book also dedicates a chapter to the profusion of sightings and speculation in neighbouring New Zealand, and sharing for the first time highlights from the unpublished manuscript of New Zealand's first big cat hunter. Flesh-and-blood or flight of fancy? Exotic pest, mutant feral or 'extinct' marsupial lion? Join the authors as they explore one of Australia's greatest wildlife mysteries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our feline companions are much-loved but often mysterious. In The Inner Life of Cats, Thomas McNamee blends scientific reportage with engaging, illustrative anecdotes about his own beloved cat, Augusta, to explore and illuminate the secrets and enigmas of her kind. As it begins, The Inner Life of Cats follows the development of the young Augusta while simultaneously explaining the basics of a kitten's physiological and psychological development. As the narrative progresses, McNamee also charts cats' evolution, explores a feral cat colony in Rome, tells the story of Augusta's life and adventures, and consults with behavioral experts, animal activists, and researchers, who will help readers more fully understand cats. McNamee shows that with deeper knowledge of cats' developmental phases and individual idiosyncrasies, we can do a better job of guiding cats' maturation and improving the quality of their lives.

They were incarcerated and harassed for almost nineteen years. They lived through the notorious Cultural Revolution. Their loving families in Taiwan were ruined.

Then they were entangled in the psychological warfare between the rivalries across the Taiwan Strait. Finally they were allowed to return to Taiwan than a quarter century later.
