Hectic weekend – sick cat and other related issues, so the cats will be featured today.
This is ‘Dough.’
H/T – Why Evolution is True (Jerry)
This is a video sent by Mateo, over atThe Human Family . It is his cat, Scotty, who is Burkinabé (from Burkina Faso). Check out his blog, too – lots of good stuff!
Well, better give the dogs a say:

Have a pleasant and relaxing Sunday – as we hope to do – chilling out by Lake Tanganyika:
The shores of Lake Tanganyika in front, with the Congo Hills in the background.
With a group of BaTwa (pygmy) women potters, with whom we've worked to enhance production and sales of their wonderful pots - fantastic for cooking and serving. To see the 2 blogs on this work enter 'batwa pots' into the search engine located just above this picture.
Blog entries throughout this site are about Africa, as well as about the Middle East and life in general - reflecting over 35 years of work and research in Africa and the Middle East – Come and join me!
Oh, that’s great! I had an F1 East African Wild Cat for a number of years and when he died (here in Burundi, I brought him and a couple of other cats with me from Kenya) – I was devastated- he was super intelligent and rather amazing.
She has two African sisters (her twin and her older sibling who is Ivorian) and I say the same of all three. They I’m allergic to pretty much everything but suffer few symptoms around them. They seem to have much less dander than their American cousins.

Interesting. Results of breeding for particular traits and inbreeding (in the West) of domestic cats may result in more dander. Who knows?!
