Kitty

[owlmoose]

I just saw a cheetah. Brought in to model for a life drawing class. Gorgeous animal. His trainers talked about him, and cheetahs generally, while he just sat placidly up on the stage and purred. And purred and purred and purred. Really loudly. Beautiful, and calming.

They brought a mountain lion, too, and a Siberian lynx. But I couldn't stay long enough to see them all. But apparenly the big cat rescue people bring them once each quarter, so maybe I'll get another chance. I hope so.

I think I remember being told that cheetahs are the only felines which cannot retract their claws. Don't take that for gospel without checking; it's just a lingering memory in my mind. They do have the most elegant tuck up of any cat I know. ☺

I think all big cats are gorgeous. My favourite is the Ocelot. A beautiful animal.
