The blog fell slightly to the wayside in recent months due to other commitments. Never fear though. My cat based blogging odyssey continues.

So where am I cat-wise at the moment? Well, I can almost smell the oranges coming up the river so that must mean Summer’s on it’s way. Down here in Brighton, on the quiet road I live on, that means the local cats all venture out on to the kerbside to laze around in the evening sun. And my word, aren’t there a lot of them. I will endeavour to photographically document them all for posterity but for the time being, I’ll leave you with my personal nicknames for them such as One-eyed Tim, Cheeky Ginge and The Starer (believe me, he has a stare on him).

News-wise, the most recent cat related matter that’s been on my mind have been stories pertaining to Tiger Conservation and the worrying reports that the wild Tiger population may well be on the brink of extinction.

Obviously, we all know that Tigers are among the most endangered species in the world but when you hear that Government bodies are growing concerned, then it kind of makes your ears just prick up a bit more. It was a story on BBC News that made me look into the situation a bit more closely and now a variety of organisations are calling for more action to prevent the numbers dropping.

This is all a bit too in depth to go into right now. I need to read more on the matter and write a more extensive post. Needless to say, I think I’ve found a charity that’s close to my heart. If you need anymore convincing, check out this footage that’s been used in David Attenborough’s latest programme, Tiger – Spy in the Jungle.
