Awwwww, I’ll take one!!!

And unfortunately, they may remain mysterious. According to National Geographic, a new study published in the journal PLoS ONE has indicated that the flat-headed cat's habitat is rapidly being transformed into vast biofuel plantations.

Wow that's a conundrum that will make liberals heads explode....biofuel or species preservation....aaaarrghh...blam!

What a strange little creature. Never heard of them.

“They also developed a computer model to predict how the cat’s historical population and distribution might be effected by modern changes to their habitat.”
Here we go again with the “computer model”.

Simple...catch a female, and a male...put them together for one year...problem solved...it’s hard for me to believe that ANY cat becomes extinct...

Not another flat-headed cat thread...

Our local zoo has a cat from somewhere in Africa...looks very cute and harmless, but the keeper said he could never be a house pet. He would rip you to shreds.

.biofuel or species preservation....aaaarrghh...blam!

Don't you wish it was a flat-headed whale? Now THAT would be a libtard conundrum worth watching (not that this one isn't). Or polar bears -- the new "in" species.

No such thing as a liberal conundrum. They will always err on the side against humanity, unless it impacts them directly.

If they are worth anything, there are plenty of flat headed cats on my road.

In that case the true ‘’enviro-warrior/tree-hugger’’ will opt to.....kill themselves, that’s it!! “I will sacrifice my life for nature!’’:-)

LOL...Here we go again. Computer models are so accurate, especially if you add the data you want to skew the model...LOL

Great idea. In order to expand the cat's range, you could distribute them by having some cute little girls sit at the entrance of a mall with a sign that reads "free kittens" and a cardboard box full of kittens.

Thus, the ultimate fate of the flat-headed cat may rest on whether this unknown but charismatic feline can break into the mainstream.

It's a shame Dr. Suess is gone. He could write a book, "The Flat-Headed Cat Needs A Hat", and rally public opinion... /g

What are people thinking? You don’t use flat heads on cats, you use phillip heads.

We do seem to be a bit short of sabertooth tigers...seriously, there was one darling little species of tigers about the size of a boxer dog that is now extinct. Balinese or Siamese or something.

LOLOLOL!!! Good one.

[fatnotlazy]

Ran them over with your truck, eh? LOL

[Philo1962]

Yeah, but are their heads big enough to set down a beer can on one?
