Awful experiments on cats at the University of Cambridge

Daily Mail published a horrific article today claiming that top UK Universities (including Cambridge) perform brain experiments on kittens. According to the article, the cats are regularly put thought horrific tests with their skulls broken and ­electrodes stuck onto their brains, ribs and spine. Those experiments are meant to help scientists find out more about problems such as the “lazy eye”.

During the experiments, the cats are paralyzed to stop them from moving and are killed following the tests. I don’t know how accurate the article is (it is Daily Mail in the end of the day), but if at least a bit of this is true, it is really awful and the Universities should be ashamed for such tests.

Awful French man found guilty for torturing Oscar!

(Printscreen from the video – you can view the awful video by searching for “Oscar cat Marseille”)

Last week, the entire France was shocked following a video of a man throwing a kitten into the air and onto the pavement. This horrible man, Farid Ghilas, 24, filmed himself throwing a tiny kitten, called Oscar, towards the building and then falling hard on the ground. The man seemed quite proud and happy of his actions in the video.

Following the release of the video, the kitten was immediately taken away by the French Society for the Protection Of Animals, who said that the kitten had a stomach injury and a broken foot. He is still is a shock-state but is expected to make a full recovery.

Farid Ghilas, was found guilty of cruelty acts towards animals and was jailed for one year.

I find such actions completely mortifying and I hope this case will serve as an example for others and help us prevent further cases like this in the future!!

Oscar is currently recovering in the shelter!

Wine made for cats??

Ok, I think we can officially say that the world has gone mad. This week, a Japanese company B&H Lifes released a wine specifically designed for cats. The wine is called “Nyan Nyan Nouveau”, which apparently stands for “meaw meaw meaw” in Japanese, and contains a juice made from Cabernet grapes, and catnip. So, no, there is no alcohol in this wine – but yes, it is sold in a wine-looking-like bottle! It is a limited edition – the company is producing only a thousand bottles, so get yours quickly!
