"The two cases we report on are just the tip of the iceberg," Borkin said, adding not just feral cats killing and eating the precious pekapeka, pet cats are killing and injuring them too, which is an important point to know in protecting New Zealand's only native land mammals. WELLINGTON, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- New Zealand's long-tailed bat is seen as a tasty snack by cats.

She also recorded the reoccurring hunting of long-tailed bats by a pet cat owned by an Ōtorohanga household living on a rural property, who discovered pekapeka remains around their home. That’s a real concern when our pekapeka are under significant threat. “We’ve known for some time cats have been attacking pekapeka,” Kerry Borkin says.

One of the country's most beloved animals is having a potentially drastic effect on New Zealand's only native land mammals, the long and short-tailed bat.

The region continues to fight back against an increase in meth use, and an increased gang presence. They suggest this could be managed by “reducing numbers of cats or excluding cats entirely from areas where bats are likely to be present”, and broach the creation of “a single, targeted law, or improvements to existing legislation and current practice” focused on reducing and managing the impacts of cats on wildlife. The paper’s authors state the cases reported on in the paper “are just the tip of the iceberg”. “Bats are tiny, they fit in the palm of your hand and are no match for a cat.” A 1981 paper published in the New Zealand Journal of Zoology reported that “two of these bats had been chewed, and all were believed to have been killed by a domestic cat while they were feeding on moths attracted to an outside light’’. A new paper published in the New Zealand Journal of Zoology on Wednesday, ‘Bats attacked by companion and feral cats: evidence from indigenous forest and rural landscapes in New Zealand’, outlines the threat to bats from cats, examining two cases of long-tailed bats, pekapeka-tou-roa, and lesser short-tailed bats, pekapeka-tou-poto, being killed and injured by feral and pet cats.

The other one is a compilation book of my comics, with a bunch of extra stuff drawn and written by me. I'd been a cartoonist since I was little, inspired by the greats such as Garfield, The Simpsons and Invader Zim and I desperately wanted to use my art to reach out to moms that might feel the same way. The reactions to my first comics were very positive and I gained followers quickly - I knew I was onto something! I found comfort in sharing the ridiculous things that happened and building a community of moms who got it. I may not be the #1 MOM, but I’m not doing so bad and I find people's flaws (especially my own) a huge source of amusement. I think that’s why a million people over various platforms now follow Litterbox Comics - people enjoy laughing at the mess of life together!

New Zealand's long-tailed bat is seen as a tasty snack by cats. According to a research paper published in the New Zealand Journal of Zoology on Wednesday, there is little data available about confirmed attacks in New Zealand, but in the UK, cats are thought to kill as many as 250,000 bats annually, so the researchers suggest the full impact in New Zealand is "substantial."

She explained pekapeka are attacked when they're in their roosts and flying. Multiple rats and tree wētā were found in the gastrointestinal tract of the male cat, while rats, wētā and at least one lesser short-tailed bat were found in the female. The research also looked at the stomach contents of a feral cat trapped in the Pureora Forest Park. The researchers also found the remains of at least one bat in a feral cat trapped near a maternity roost tree in a Waikato forest. Three of the bats had multiple puncture wounds to one or both wings and one had a suspected puncture wound to its pectoral muscle. Along with the deaths, the pet cat had also injured a seventh bat, all in the space of two years.

UC Davis researchers have launched new clinical trials to help treat a coronavirus disease in cats called feline infectious peritonitis, or FIP.

For this study, one group will receive antiviral drugs along with infusions of MSCs, and the other will receive an antiviral drug and placebo infusions. While the exact causes of MIS-C remain unclear, it is known that children diagnosed with it had the virus that causes COVID-19 or had been in contact with someone who was COVID-19 positive. It is part of a larger study looking into new treatments for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C, a condition that causes organs and other body parts to become inflamed. Pedersen found it safe and effective in treating cats with FIP. Currently veterinarians cannot prescribe it in the U.S. In this study, cats will receive either oral GS-441524 or oral remdesivir for comparison. They are seeking cats in the early to mid-stage of FIP disease for inclusion in clinical trials. Up to 95% of cats diagnosed with FIP die without treatment.

Cat parents, brace yourselves. While it may sound counterintuitive, a new study has found that cats actually love to be around people who hate them.

When it comes to affection, he prefers it on his own terms (but a nice scratch under the chin never hurts). Meanwhile, some cat lovers can be too clingy with their cats, holding them in areas they don’t like, simply because they can’t help showing their love for their feline friends. In a nutshell, scientists found that people who lived (or had lived) with cats were prone to fussing over and holding their cats more than the cats liked, older people tried to grab and restrain the cats more than younger people, and extroverts tended to initiate contact, which cats, known for their independence, aren’t that into.
