" I ♥ AMUR "

" I ♥ AMUR "
I WAS GONE ON VACATION LAST WEEK
BUT I AM BACK AND I WANTED TO SHARE
A BEAUTIFUL ENDANGERED "BIG CAT"
WITH YOU. OF COURSE MY NEW FRIEND
IS IN A WELL KEPT ZOO, BUT I'VE NEVER
BEEN SO NEAR TO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL
"BIG CAT" AS THIS AMUR LEOPARD.

HERE IN ACTION, WALKING ON A LARGE TREE BRANCH.

HERE THE LEOPARD IS LISTENING,
SMELLING AND WATCHING FOR AN
ANIMAL ENCOUNTER. THIS MALE
LEOPARD IS STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL
CAT, UP CLOSE! (ALL MY PICTURES ARE
THROUGH GLASS) BUT HE IS NOT MUCH
DIFFERENT THAN OUR OWN HOUSE
CATS THAT WE ALL ADORE!

WITH AMAZING CLIMBING ABILITIES
THIS AMUR LEOPARD BALANCES HIMSELF TO
LOOK ABOVE THE ROCKS TO SEE BEYOND
HIS ENCLOSURE. THE THING THAT MADE
ME WANT TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU IS
THE FACT THAT WITH A TOTAL POPULATION
OF 30-35 INDIVIDUALS, THE AMUR LEOPARD,
OR FAR EASTERN LEOPARD, IS ONE OF THE
MOST - IF NOT THE MOST ENDANGERED
LARGE CATS ON EARTH. I ♥ AMUR LEOPARDS!
I ALMOST FORGOT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR
THE BIRTHDAY WISHES FOR SPOOKY And DAISY
LAST WEEK, WHO BOTH TURNED 8 YEARS OLD! :)

"WATER BUGS"

DO YOU HAVE A CAT WHO LOVES
TO PLAY IN THE SINK OR IN WATER?
I ACTUALLY HAVE TWO AND THEY
WOULD BE ANIWA AND ANAKIN:
IT'S SO FUNNY TO WATCH THEM
STARE AT THE WATER DRIPS........

THEN SUDDENLY ANAKIN
TAKES A DRINK.....
AND HERE'S ANIWA ATTACKING
THE WATER STREAM WHILE
ANAKIN WATCHES. SO FUNNY!
TWO OF A KIND WATER BUGS!

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY TO VISIT!

CUPBOARD LURKER

LOOK WHO
I FOUND LURKING IN MY
CUPBOARD? ONE PAW TELLS
THE STORY........
IT'S ANIWA! YOU CAN'T
MISTAKE A LITTLE MINI
TORTOISESHELL PAW.
INCHING OUT SLOWLY AND
CHECKING TO SEE IF ANYONE
IS WATCHING HER.
STEPPING DOWN ONTO THE
TOP OF THE REFRIGERATOR
VERY CAREFULLY TO MAKE
SURE NO ONE NOTICES.....
SO PROUD OF HER EXPLOITS!
ANIWA IS BEAMING WITH PRIDE!
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED SEEING MY
OLDER WAFFLE MAKER HIDDEN AWAY
IN MY BASEMENT CUPBOARD. I JUST
CAN'T SEEM TO GIVE THE WAFFLE
MAKER AWAY!

" MITTEN PAWS "

OF MY DECORATION BOX! BEHIND THEM

" MY FIRST VET VISIT "

My name is Anakin Andrae.
My first vet visit is today!!!
You can read my gotcha day
story HERE.

I did well with my car ride. But
then they weighed me on their
big scale, I was afraid, the scale
smelled different.
The humans comforted me
before I got those sharp thingies
with medicine in my leg.
Otherwise the Doc. Vet said I was
healthy and maybe born in
April of 2009.
On my way out I got to meet
a new friend, "Marti". Marti
was waiting for his turn to see
the Vet. My friend Marti is a
stray rescue too :) with the coolest face!
