Happy Mother's Day

The female bobcat raises her young alone. One to six, but usually two to four, kittens are born in April or May, after roughly 60 to 70 days of gestation. There may sometimes be a second litter, with births as late as September. The female generally gives birth in some sort of enclosed space, usually a small cave or hollow log. The young open their eyes by the ninth or tenth day. They start exploring their surroundings at four weeks and are weaned at about two months. Within three to five months they begin to travel with their mother. They will be hunting by themselves by fall of their first year and usually disperse shortly thereafter.

Tigers Like Water

Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium promotes and practices effective conservation on behalf of the world’s wildlife. On my trip this past summer, I got a chance to check out some of the zoo's amazing wildlife. Malosi, a tiger from Honolulu Zoo in Hawaii, has come to Tacoma to breed with Jaya, the zoo's female tiger and mother of the two tiger cubs born in 2010. One of the cubs is licking a whip cream treat in the following video.

Cats and Pregnancy

Pregnant Belly Syndrome?

Pets seem to have an innate intuition when it comes to important events. An animals ability to sense changes in the weather, earthquakes and even volcano eruptions well before humans has long fascinated many. It has also been found that some dogs can detect certain cancers in humans as well as alert a person that they are about to have a seizure or even a heart attack. With such amazing abilities, it should really comes as no surprise that pets can know you’re pregnant before you even think about taking a pregnancy test.

Your Loving Cat

Cats have a bit of a bad rap. Not only can they carry toxoplasmosis, an infection that can be dangerous for pregnant women, they are also known for being standoffish, independent and often unaffectionate. Yet, as any cat owner can tell you, cats can be extremely loving and loyal to their owners. During pregnancy, this affection may become even more apparent.

Many cat owners have noted their cats behaving undeniably friendly once those early signs of pregnancy start to appear. Following you around, sleeping with you or even on you, insisting on sitting on your lap and even cuddling and licking your belly (maybe baby needs some grooming?) are all normal behaviors for cats when you’re pregnant.
