Badgers Eat With Cats

 

We have four resident badgers (wild) that live under some of the cabins here at the sanctuary.  These are photos of the badgers eating peacefully with the cats.  Though!  There have been instances of cat - badger disagreement..  Once a cat began growling at the badger.  He swatted at the badger and caught his claw in the badger's snout.  The badger did nothing.  Eventually the cat was able to free his claw and the group carried on eating together.

Tripod & His Story

 

This is Tripod.  A woman rang me 5 years ago to ask if I would take a cat.  She said she thought it had a sprained front paw.  She told me she had seen the cat on the pavement and a woman had picked it up by the tail and thrown it over a hedge.  She went into the garden to have a look, picked up the cat, and took it home.  She spent the next 3 weeks trying to get someone to take it and someone told her about my rescue center Joan's Arc.  When I met the woman she turned out to be in her sixties wearing a lot of gold jewelry and also discovered she had a shop Ladies Fashions.  She had not bothered to take the cat to a vet so by the time I got him it was too late and his leg had to be amputated.  He also had a problem with his stomach and needs to have very expensive prescription food from the vet - which is the reason he is still with me.
