4 October 2007, on the occasion of
World Day for the Animals, we were at kindergarten De Ekkelhof, Drouwen
with Galaxy, the kittens of the I-litter and our New Foundlander Chérie. Clickthe picture below for more

The kittens of our H- and I-litter had
the honour to be proclaimed by our veterinarian 'patient of the week' (in
this 'patients'). Every week a report about one of the patients appears at
the website of 'Arts & Dier'. Click the photo below to read the report

Chinese cats grow 'wings'
Tom cats in Sichuan province in southern China have
sprouted wing-like growths on their backs, which locals are
attributing to the hot summer weather and the romantic
attentions of females.
One animal started to develop the "wings" during a
period of hot weather in Sichuan, a large province in
southern China where a devastating earthquake struck
this spring.
Although the growths appear fluffy, they contain
bone. But veterinary experts say that despite the hard
inner core, the flaps do not harm the cat's quality of
life or safety.
Several animals were photographed with the furry
protuberances by a local newspaper photographer.
"At first they were just two bumps, but they started
to grow quickly, and after a month there were two
wings," said one cat's owner, who was only identified as
Feng.
"Many female cats in heat came to harass him, and
then the wings started to grow," she told the local
Huashang News.
Although Feng attributed her pet's condition to the
stress of a feline love life and the hot Sichuan summer.
However, scientists said the wings had a less romantic
explanation.
In fact, the hairy growths probably developed because
of unusual grooming habits, a genetic defect or a
hereditary skin condition.

Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his
grandson about a battle that goes on inside
people. He said, "My son, the battle is
between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt,
resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, and ego.
The other is
Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and
faith."
The grandson
though t about it for a minute and then
asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one
you feed."
