Just see the cold stare of a predator playing the game of chicken. House cats allways lose don,t they. I tried with a poor Siberian Tiger at our zoo here.I feel profound sadness watching these caged creatures. Any how i played chicken with her.And ofcourse she won. Even looked slightly amused i thought at this unfortunate two legged failure of evolution that tried to challenge her. Really dislike house cats. Intelligence? well we don,t really know what that is do we .But i would not feel it in that cat . Allmost feels like watching a robot of sorts. Nice picture though. sorry for the longish post and yuckspeak simon jessurun p.s. I was hopeless with Latin do you have a link to a page that explains what your field is?
