Their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of springs.

I’m amazed either survived that - especially that last fall where they both slammed down hard on solid rock. The big cat seemed unhurt which is just incredible.

Big cat only used up 8 lives on that fall. I would be deader than dead. No wonder they say cats have 9 lives. Amazing. Should have died a dozen times on that fall.

I think you’re referring to Charles Frace. We have about a dozen of his pieces as prints.

I will no longer complain about the pain of having to find a parking space before I can dine out. No wonder snow leopards only have to eat one meal per year.

Yes, snow leopards live in some of the remotest most underdeveloped parts of the earth, are rarely seen both because of their stealth and the difficulty of reaching their habitats, but we somehow know that “their numbers are shrinking”.

The term "big cat" is typically used to refer to any of the five living members of the genus Panthera, namely the tiger, lion, jaguar, leopard, and snow leopard, as well as the non-pantherine cheetah and cougar.

Curiously, the snow leopard is more closely related to the tiger than to the (non-snow) leopard.
