In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, died shortly after birth. The mother tiger, after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother’s cubs, perhaps she would improve. After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only ‘orphans’ that could be found quickly were a litter of weanling pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger.

This cat looks exactly like my Pokey (thinner stripes, I suppose)…

Kitty Cassandra

“Another massive Persian painting”
36” x 48”
acrylic on canvas

I found Kitty Cassandra’s story just fabulous. She intuitively was sketching cats that looked just like her Exotics before she learned about the breed and found some. Her paintings truly capture their spirit - whimsical, dreamy, and full of love. (I also have an Exotic, though with the “traditional face,” not “extreme” like in these paintings.) Her Etsy shop suggests she welcomes all commissions for all kinds of cats, though I’d suggest contacting her ASAP - she seems quite booked (surely partly due to the Animal Planet special below!).
