Sand cat kittens at Lincoln Park Zoo

[moosmom]

These beautiful cats are VERY rare and worth lots of money. Remember there was a thread I posted about coffee that was like $10,000 a pound because of the flavor and the way it's processed??

Well, meet the little coffee grinders!!! Yup, these cats are the ones that eat a special coffee bean grown where they habitat. When they "ahem" do their business, there's a native right behind him (no pun intended) picking up the cat's poo so he can get all the coffee beans out. This is no joke. The coffee has some special aroma and flavor. Yeah, how about cat$6it?????

Give me good ole American coffee, thank you very much!!

It's true. They are beautiful cats, aren't they???

I saw sand cats when I visited Bristol Zoo in England which is just over the bridge from Cardiff, they are gorgeous, and have the most amazing bat like ears, they're a wonderful colour too, like a pale buff shade.

I've never heard about them before either, but they are so adorable! Hope they're safe where they are.

Thanks for the info Columbine and Donna.
