A tiger at the Bronx Zoo tests positive for coronavirus

It's not even debatable anymore. All cats must be killed to prevent further spread.

Though, to be fair, this article is on CNN and likely isn't accurate. Still, I think all cats should be socially distanced (if not fully quarantined) from humans, indefinitely, as a precautionary measure.

You should get yourself a tiger, Kriegs. Gotta do something with the excess meat in your freezer, anyway. And it’ll keep the feral cats away! What could go wrong.

I've not let any of my cats out since 1984 - 36 years ago. Therefore the only outside source of anything getting into this house is ME!

I could see toxoplasmisis being beneficial in a hit man.

"the personality of infected men showed lower superego strength (rule consciousness) and higher vigilance (factors G and L on Cattell's 16PF). Thus, the men were more likely to disregard rules and were more expedient, suspicious, jealous, and dogmatic." link

More dogmatic? That doesn’t seem fair.

To this day I'm still a little disappointed that we didn't name her Oreo... perhaps that was just a little too predictable? Hmmmmm.

Growing up, my brother and I had at least 13 nicknames for one of our cats. Hard to stick with one once you get to know them.

My cat's in a box on my desk, getting some sun. My (other) faithful companion.

I'd argue that the risk is minimal because, unlike dogs, most cats tend to practice social distancing anyway.

Just read that there are 60 million feral cats in the United States and 100 million globally.

That would mean 1.2 million per state if equally distributed. I wonder it is one of them that comes to eat the ferret food I leave out in my garage.

Possibly. I hear there are Democratic cats (Want free food) and Republican cats (hunt their own food). ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

That IS the stereotype among those cats when they discuss things in their internet forums!

I'm a bit surprised in this Kat thread that no one has mentioned the passing of Honor Blackman. ;)

The name is James, James Bond.

She was briefly in my sig. Pussy Galore + the zoo tiger + Detroit’s “Mr Tiger.” Rough week for cats.
Edit: whoops, she’s still in there. I guess the font I chose is too light.
Btw, it’s Bond James Bond not James James...

Aw, the cushion looks like her.
I also like the black patches on the backs of her forepaws, like a 70s college professor’s blazer.

Hahaha they're so great. She has these random spots and imperfections in her "tuxedo" that are very endearing in my eyes. ^-^ ^-^ ^-^

Kriegspiel, doesn't that adorable photo of a relaxed, happy kitty lounging on a rug melt the hard edges off your position just a LITTLE bit?

My cats are indoor too. I will defend my little fluffballs to the death!
