I don’t typically get thrilled about archaeological finds, but this one had me awestruck. A substantial feline figure carved into an arid hillside much more than 2,000 years ago has been discovered in southern Peru. The geoglyph steps 121 feet across and is part of the Nazca Lines, a collection of hundreds of mysterious artworks etched onto a plateau 250 miles south of Lima. For the story of how the huge cat was discovered, check out SCNOW.com.

Is this an April Fools joke? Wait, it’s October. The site may be a scam. It’s all blocked out unless you take a “survey”. just seems phishy to me.

Can you offer some ideas about cats who do major biting of their owners. have this calico for 10 years and she still bites me.

Your cat may be exhibiting play or petting aggression. enter either term in the search bar at the top of our site, and you’ll find much more information.

I saw this discovery on Facebook last night and was impressed by it. It just goes to show cats really are the best and people have loved them forever.
