The goldfish (Carassius auratus) was one of the earliest fish to be domesticated, and is still one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish. A relatively small member of the carp family (which also includes the koi carp and the crucian carp), the goldfish is a domesticated version of a dark-gray/olive/brown carp native to east [...]
A kitten has survived an unexpected ride from the Kapiti Coast to Plimmerton early this morning after stowing away in a car’s wheel arch.

What do cats do when their owners are away? There was one way to find out – cat cams. Fifty house cats in the US were given collar cameras that took a photo every 15 minutes. The results put a digital dent in some human theories about catnapping. Based on the photos, about 22 percent [...]

Do Cats Need Shrinks? The sheer absurdity of this question alone made it rather difficult to read on, but I did anyway. The author does not necessarily answer this question but rather talks about different nervous disorders and phobias that cats may face. Also the author says that “Truly, they are a pitiful sight to [...]
