I thought it was worth the change of pace.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801627181926444988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807810969937843852.post-33013245457075885942016-01-28T10:24:13.037-05:002016-01-28T10:24:13.037-05:00Glad you posted this story.

Too many wild animals are not so lucky, as they either live miserable, unnatural lives, or are killed because they hurt or killed someone. Thanks for this public reminder for people to do the right thing.

Unlike the African Wild Cat, which has a flight-flight response, other wild cats have a flight or fight response. I, too, hope the sanctuary is well supported. I would hope that those who could afford it would have made sizeable donations for each cat to be left there.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801627181926444988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807810969937843852.post-69987962478410523882016-01-27T19:31:23.524-05:002016-01-27T19:31:23.524-05:00Thank you so much, Gordon.

As soon as I saw it I knew that it was not just a happy ending but a good reminder that while wild cats are beautiful, they are wild and belong in their natural habitat. Once removed, these two were lucky to have be taken to a sanctuary. The fact that they bonded, which they would not have done if they were older, is very fortunate for them. Neither will be alone.

I hope that sanctuary is well supported!<br /><br />Thanks for this unusual story.

I just wish people would use a little common sense when choosing pets......it's always the pets that suffer when things don't work out, which often happens.<br />Thank you as always for sharing another interesting and visually beautiful blog with us, Darlene......much appreciated.Gordon Bricenoreply@blogger.com
