Sparta the Mean Kitty

The videos above are from YouTube, and feature Sparta. Click on them to watch these clever videos his owner has posted on YouTube. He is an Egyptian Mau, though he looks like a Bengal. (Bengals are a cross between an Asian Leopard cat and a domestic shorthair). In one video, you'll notice how Sparta fetches. (it's because they are VERY smart). I Hope you enjoy these short clips.

(PS. Sometimes weird videos will appear. Refresh the browser until the kitties show up).

ID lawmaker wants to make snagging roadkill legal.
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho lawmaker wants to make it legal to snatch up roadkill, saying letting a dead animal rot on the highway doesn't make sense if someone can make a few hundred dollars off it.
Rep. Dick Harwood told the House Resources and Conservation Committee Monday people with hunting or trapping licenses should be allowed to harvest the pelts of animals like badgers, bobcats, red foxes, bears and mountain lions. Read more/Source KREM  Roadkill
And how do they prove that the hide they're selling was roadkill...I think that this opens an avenue for poachers to sell their wares.
