It is as good as the main or mother site and perhaps better as it is coded in a more up to date way (used to be!). You will probably need an up-to-date computer and software to run it, however. This website tends to discuss serious issues in a serious and passionate manner. Whereas the main site is more mainstream, presenting the cat breeds and wild cat species in an organised way. Note: things have changed 2024. (✿◡‿◡)
The underlying principles always apply; to respect the cat, to understand the cat and to promote excellent cat caretaking for the welfare of the cat.
I never forget the wild cats. They are equally deserving of our concern and attention. The more we know about the wild cats the more disturbed we will be as to their predicament. That might motivate us to act. The concept of keeping a wild cat hybrid such as the Bengal cat to highlight the plight of the wildcats does not work.
I started this Blogger site for the simple reason that it is much easier to build pages fast and efficiently on this site. It is more fun and Google tends to find these pages more often or at least it did! If you can dispense with the technical stuff and focus on the cat welfare stuff you have a better site as far as I am concerned.

2024: Things have changed dramatically. When I first built this blog, building a conventional website was quite tricky. That was 2008. Now there's WordPress which is quite similar in terms of technicalities to Google Blogger. But I still love this site because it has been very successful.
But things have moved on. I have more or less run out of things to say about cats as one might expect after 17 years or so of writing about them. And therefore I have extended the topics which interest me to other fields such as sport and sometimes politics. I'm not interested in politics per se but interested in how it impact upon animal welfare.
I try and keep things short and succinct. I believe that the average Internet surfer nowadays reads articles on their smart phone, often when they are on the move. They want answers quickly. They don't want to rummage through piles of preamble, waffle before they get to the meat of the topic. I try and meet that demand. I hope you like it and if you have any suggestions please tell me.
I have a kitten I think is a inbreed manx. Her mother is wild and I believe the mother matter with one of her no tail bothers. The kittens I had to take away from the mother at four weeks, for reasons I want go into now. The kittens stomach is bloated and she always has feces lick out. Her appetite is good, she plays good, but does not have bowl movement movements right. I have given her Castro oil and watch her diet. What do you think is going on with the bloated stomach and what should I do, on a fixed income.
ReplyDeleteSorry I did not see your comment and respond. I hope you fixed this. Sadly, I would have to say that you do not have enough disposable income to care for a cat adequately. Your cat needed to see a vet as a matter of urgency. Sorry for being critical but it is true and anyone else who knows about cat caregiving would say the same. Good luck.
