    Fishing cat kitten at Brookfield Zoo

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsSsSBkaj4M

    Please enjoy this kitten having fun! Here's the story from the news...

    The Brookfield Zoo has welcomed a new addition to its Fragile Rain Forest exhibit - a male fishing cat kitten.

    The kitten, who was born on Oct. 31, 2014, is now old enough to be in the exhibit with his mother, 4-year-old Anna, Brookfield Zoo officials said.

    Fishing cats - which are endangered in the wild - are now found near Sumatra, Java, southern China, India and Sri Lanka. They remain small in size for their entire lives, as males average around 25 pounds and females around 15 pounds. Their diet focuses on fish, but also can include crustaceans, frogs and small mammals.

    Zoo officials say this kitten is especially significant because its parents had no previous offspring.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!


    "That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

    "We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays." -- Persius, first century Roman poet

    So sweet! .. kitten and mom both.

    I'd never heard of these cats before. That's great that the zoo is involved in conservation efforts for them.

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
