I just got done reading the article about Wren and the comments regarding this cat. It turns out that Wren is an indoor only cat that slipped out thru a screen. They discovered the escape when they heard Wren screaming, at which time the owners ran outside to save their baby.

The pet fur knitting idea is king of creepy. I have a few whiskers that I have kept, but I don't think I want to start collecting hair for a blanket or anything. On a cold night, cuddling up under my dead cats fur would be just a little bit to weird for me! I think I will stick with good old quilts!

Here is another reason you should always keep your kitties and indoor only kitties. I hope this poor cat survives. I am sure it was traumatized as well.

Great story on the dog nursing the tiger, lion cubs. However, they did not say if the dog has a permanent home or not. I certainly hope they would give her one or make sure she gets one.
