A Day with the Big Cats

At the end of last year, one of my students gifted me with a day at the Cedar Cove Feline Sanctuary in Louisburg, Kansas. Now ... I've been to zoos plenty of times before, but I've never had such an up-close-and-personal look at the big cats (which are my favorite). From leopards, to tigers, to lions and panthers ... we truly saw more felines than you could possibly see at a normal zoo. We even stayed for feeding time, which demonstrated the fact that they are overwhelming animals, as well as the fact that at the end of the day, they're all just cats. Many thanks to the fellow cat-loving second grade graduate who gave me such a personalized gift. Pictures below.
