During that time I have confirmed with the Polish Academy of Sciences that cats should be classified as an “invasive alien species.” I’ve also drawn the connection between the world famous Nazca Lines found in Peru, with […]
Yesterday, January 21st, was Squirrel Appreciation Day. Dogs, would you believe there was a time they were more than simply appreciated? People welcomed squirrels into their homes as pets!
