koko and the kitten
Koko got her birthday wish this July 4th — not only did one kitten come to visit, but a whole litter. Koko fell in love with one, and the other fell in love with her. Koko has adopted these two kittens into her family, and it has energized her world.
Not only have Koko's maternal and play instincts kicked in, but she is signing more to her caregivers and generating new content everyday that can be used by The Gorilla Foundation to create empathy fro great apes. This can have significant benefits to both endangered free-living great apes and those in captive environments, by encouraging the development of 2-way communication with their caregivers (which Koko has had since she was a baby).
The Gorilla Foundation is now working on a multimedia sequel to the classic book, "Koko's Kitten," which has already reached millions of children worldwide, and has the power to motivate millions more to learn how to make the world a better place for all of its conscious inhabitants.
Koko's kittens, Ms. Gray and Ms. Black, who appeared first in the video "Meet Koko's New Kittens," are growing into cats. Koko enjoys engaging with them as they grow, and as their personalities and relationships — with each other and with Koko — begin to change

There are up to 60 million feral cats in the United States alone.
so sad.
Since cats are so good at hiding illness, even a single instance of a symptom should be taken very seriously.
Thanks.
Cats' hearing stops at 65 khz (kilohertz); humans' hearing stops at 20 khz.
Yes, I know.
In ancient Egypt, when a family cat died, all family members would shave their eyebrows as a sign of mourning.
