Cats are great moms!
I read an article this morning about a domestic house cat who adopted a red panda baby to raise. I know my cats have always been great moms, with a few very notable exceptions - and any young first time mama is allowed a few mistakes and misgivings 
but for the most part, cats are some of the very best and most loving animal mothers I’ve ever known.
In their honor, I added a mama cat with kittens coloring page over at Color-Your-Own.com and in the process found more amazing photos of cats who had adopted other animal babies.Here’s a cat who adopted some baby skunks! What was she thinking? And here is a whole bunch of loving animal momma’s who adopted other animal babies. Not only a hen who adopted kittens, but a cat who adopted chicks. Now that really tops it all!
Have a great day!

Here is an irresistible heartwarmer for the day, a series of photos of a kitten and parakeet who are clearly the best of friends. Looking at that blog, it looks like anyone who enjoys Animal-Nerd will probably enjoy that blog, too! I grabbed the feed 
The Discovery Channel brings us great news and a fun photo to go with it. A camera set up a remote jungle refuge captured images of the rare Javan rhinocerous - the rarest rhino. The photos were of a female rhino and her calf - and ended quite abruptly when the female spotted the camera and decided it might be dangerous!
Last but hardly least - our Friday quote:
“Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms”

See you next week!

Three new articles added to the main site today span a wide variety of the animals we love. First an article about a pet that is still somewhat unusual and unfamiliar to most of us, so we could probably use some advice on Playing with your Sugar Glider.
Another article is about a very common problem for a very common pet, Does Your Cat have Ring Worm?
Last, but hardly least, an uplifting article about Greek Volunteers Protect Endangered Sea Turtle.
See you tomorrow with more animals in the news!

Cats are some of the best mothers in nature in my experience, and this lovely cat is no exception. She adopted a fox cub to save him from death. The photos clearly show the affection she has for her adopted pup.
Enjoy and hug your pets today!

Today was a great day for some fun animal news. 
First, Angola prison in Louisiana is getting some unusual assistance in foiling escapes. A 450 lb. black bear has taken to wandering the grounds at night. She probably lives somewhere in the 5 1/2 acres of undeveloped piney woods that are part of the prison grounds. Although the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries spokesperson says there have been no confirmed attacks of black bears on humans, I still suspect most prisoners might have second thoughts about making a run for it at night across a compound with a wild bear loose in it!
Compassionate people will make a pet of just about any animal who needs their help - and this family in South Africa is no exception. Even though a hippo is not the most practical family pet ever they clearly love their unusual pet. And people write me and think they’re unusual for having a pet rat!
Long as you are enjoying looking at pets, go enjoy Cats are so Gay - yet another blog of beautiful cat photos. Pearl and I never get tired of looking at cats on the internet, so why should you?
Have a great day and hug all your pets!
