It’s 10,000 years of natural selection at its finest: feline.

How ’bout a little Dove Love?  This is the same species of dove that nested in the tree outside of my townhouse in Plano for many years, an endeavor I struggled to support despite the nest being destroyed by severe thunderstorms on a fairly regular basis.  Still, it’s a wonderfully fascinating and endearing bird.

Americans who have feline pets should beware the coming of avian flu.  While it’s uncertain, albeit denied, that mammals pose no transmission threat, there is no doubt cats are at risk of death from the disease if exposed.  With the virus rapidly moving to North America, I would strongly recommend following the advice of the European Commission: “prevent contact between wild birds and cats and dogs, and seek veterinary attention for any sick pet.”
