Origin of the Species � Bon-Bon attacks!

Ahh, the domestic cat � aka �Felis Catus� whose hunting skills have been honed to perfection after years of evolution. It�s still possible to see this basic instinct in today�s cats that was so evident in their distant relation � the sabre tooth tiger and today�s lions and tigers.

Picture the scene � a dark night in Kettering and Biscuit and Bon-Bon are, as usual, on patrol in the garden, protecting us from intruders (see picture above). All of a sudden, Bon-Bon springs into life, having spotted �something� in the undergrowth. After assessing the situation and identifying her prey � a frog � she accelerates in the opposite direction with the frog chasing her!!!!

Good to see that thousands of years of evolution haven�t gone to waste then! Bon-Bon obviously got out of the gene-pool when they were handing out the bit about stalking and trapping your prey.
