Josie first began with Suite as the editor of Mustelidae and after many months of covering the fascinating species in that group, she decided to write about her other interest, the big cats.
I hope to continue bringing you relevant, useful and interesting content on these magnificent animals in the same spirit this topic was first begun.
My plan for future articles will be to focus on the various species that make up the felidae family. Not only will these include the big cats but also the smaller, lesser-known species. I plan on covering the threatened and endangered groups also.
I have a multi-household of the domestic feline variety but have always been drawn to the exotic creatures of the wild. I have no favorite feline and find myself fascinated by each one for their own unique personality.
Tigers have the sheer size that exudes power and authority, leopards have their air of stealth and mystery, lions come complete with attitude or maybe I should say cat-a-tude, panthers have those "eyes" that seem to see right through you, cheetahs are confident with their title of lean, mean speed machines, cougars have their very distinct and unnerving cat-call and snow leopards are just down-right beautiful.
Some of the smaller species and some lesser known species that I'll talk about include the lynx, ocelot, caracals, servals, bobcats, geoffroy cats, civits, lemurs, coatimundi, fishing cats and sand cats.
I hope you'll join me, once a month, and discover the world of the wild cat and just what that world entails from what they eat, where they sleep, how they take care of their young and how they're surviving in their habitats that are continually being encroached upon.
I'll also be writing about wildlife preserves and sanctuaries, in the U.S. and Canada as well as overseas, that cater to both wild and endangered species and also about inroads and programs being implemented to help with cats in the wild in their battle against disease, poaching and the possibility of extinction.
I hope by continuing this topic and bringing current issues to our readers that we will become more enlightened to the plight of many of these great cats and we'll be able to find ways of helping through volunteer work.
