These are sand cat kittens, with their mom Rotem, at the Zoological Center of Tel Aviv, where they were born three weeks ago. The species is native to deserts in parts of Africa and Asia, but appears to have become extinct in the wild in Israel during the 1990s. Sand cats are becoming increasingly rare in the wild, which is mostly due to loss of their habitat. These kittens are part of a special European breeding program. Story here.

Today I got an email newsletter from the San Diego Global Wildlife Conservancy, regarding Bai Yun's sixth cub, born at the San Diego Zoo on July 29 2012. (My initial post about it is here).

The cub is a month old now. Its sex can't be determined yet and it is still unnamed. (In accordance with Chinese tradition, pandas don't get their names until they are 100 days old.)

I first posted a video of performances by Nora the Piano-Playing Cat, "Practice Makes Purr-fect," three years ago. Then I found an old post about it on [livejournal.com profile] siouxfleming's blog and went to watch it again. What I didn't know three years ago was that there are many more videos and that Nora has her very own website.

More about Nora, selected videos and a link to Nora's website. )
