GDG- "Pickett's Charge" NOT a misnomer

[Margaret D. Blough]

BeeJay,

If you haven't already, read "Tribe of the Tiger: Cats and Their Culture" by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas.  The publisher's note on the Barnes and Noble web site describes it as "From the vast plains of Africa to her very own backyard, noted author and anthropologist elizabeth Marshall Thomas explores the world of cats, both large and small, in this classic bestseller. Inspired by her own feline's instinct to hunt and supported by her studies abroad, Thomas examines the life and actions, as well as the similarities and differences of these majestic creatures. Lions, tigers, pumas, and housecats: Her observations shed light on their social lives, thought processes, eating habits, and communication techniques, and reveal how they survive and coexist with each other and with humans."

Regards,

Margaret
