A fun article for animal lovers

Birds navigating by roads, free cats, and donkeys left out on the mountains for the eagles - a fun article for animal lovers!
It seems that instead of using rivers and natural landmarks to navigate by, migratory birds are relying on tarmacced road systems now. There is no clue as to how we know, but it is official and as you sit in a traffic jam, take solace that those swallows are zooming along nicely overhead with an inbuilt GPS.
Old donkeys in Spain don't go from sanctuaries to donkey heaven straightaway. Their carcasses are dumped on the mountainside for local birds of prey to feast on.
But as an optimistic aside to that, the donkey is dying out, so if you want to make money, set up shop as a donkey breeder.
I never had a puppy, couldn't eat a whole one, but I am living with the results of 2 kittens that grew into cats and are spending Christmas after Christmas tormenting me.
It is quite interesting how 2 cat brothers can be so different. One is actually quite amiable and nice, but the other one. Why can't it be the one that escapes and gets lost somewhere we can't find it? But no. The cute one runs away and we spend hours peering into neighbors' yards, ending up perched on a tower with a stool on top, reaching into someone's balcony. Don't mind us.
Got any dead donkey or stray pet stories, drop me a line.

Donkeys are great snacks for eagles

Puppies and kittens are for life, not just Christmas
