If an overweight cat's "sides" stick out further than her whiskers, she will lose her sense of perception and stability. Don't be surprised if she starts to squeeze into an opening that the rest of her can't fit into, only to back herself back out quickly!
It takes a gutsy insect to sneak up on a huge dinosaur while it sleeps, crawl onto its soft underbelly and give it a bite that might have felt like a needle going in -- but giant "flea-like" animals, possibly the oldest of their type ever discovered, probably did just that.
The first-known camera trap photos of an Amur leopard in China have recently been taken in Hunchun Amur Tiger National Nature Reserve in Jilin Province.

The Dancing Kitten

Once there was a kitten, She lived at home with me. Her fur was black and white, She was a tiny little thing
One day, I came home early, From school, I had run When I saw my little kitten, Having lots of fun!
She stood upon her hind legs She twirled so fast around That I was scared that she might fall Hard upon the ground!
I watched her hop, I watched her jump, I watched her twirl and spin! And when I thought it over, She started up again!
And so I have a dancing cat A strange thing some believe But, the thing about a dancing cat Is that she’ll dance with me!
