Please allow me a second to relate that my dad passed away on this date, eleven years ago. I’m sure the Internet has already reached heaven, so I say hello dad. We all love you and miss you.
Now, about fishing cats…….
I never knew that there was such a thing as a “fishing cat”, an actual cat that likes the water and dives in to catch fish! Now, I’ve seen everything. I have attached three links. The first is to Wikipedia and it explains where the cat comes from and it’s habitat, etc. The next two links from arkive.org actually show video tapes of cats fishing. Please click on each of the following links:
