Freddie Mercury had as many as ten cats throughout his life, and he considered them an integral part of his household, not just pets.
He lived with several of them at his Garden Lodge mansion in London, and he was known for calling them on the phone while on tour so that his assistant could hold the receiver close to them so he could “talk” to them.
He even dedicated specific tributes to them: the album "Mr. Bad Guy" (1985) includes a special thanks to several of his cats by name, and the song "Delilah" from "Innuendo" (1991) is written entirely about one of his favorite cats.
His friends agreed that, during his final years of illness, the company of his cats brought him immense comfort, almost as important as that provided by the people closest to him.

Do you live near a wildlife oasis? They’re shoehorned between roads, homes, part of a network of small, wild spaces that wild animals need for survival. One nearby is hosting a little puma family—a mom and her kitten. lnkd.in/gCFwqf6y

Wolves or fat coyotes? The inspiration for my latest article is recent reports of wolves roaming the hood. What is weird is that wolves were last reported in our area in the 1800s.

Dramas continue to unfold in the tiny wild canyon that is surrounded by the trappings of urbanization. The cameras record 3 months of canyon life in the midst of being profoundly impacted by natural and man-made events.

Mountain lions are masters at avoiding each other while keeping the lines of communication open. Although highly territorial and spending most of their lives alone, they still need each other to survive. Social distancing mountain lion style. lnkd.in/gfe79Yg
