In May I reported on marmots allegedly killing cats in Washington. Now it seems the raccoons are in on the action and "a gang of raccoons that shows no fear has killed at least 10 cats and attacked several more."

Driving home with the Free-Ride offspring yesterday, we heard a story on the radio that caught out attention. (The radio story discusses newly published research that's featured on the cover of Nature this week.) When we got home, we had a chat about it.
Dr. Free-Ride: What did you guys learn…
It was important that this man was thrown in jail. It is very bad that he is not spending more time there. Let me tell you why.

Bad humans! How can any reasonably intelligent person not like cats?
Aerik, I have never found my cats as pleasant company as my husband. Perhaps the fault is not with the felines...
Marmots are pure evil. I've lost many a Chaco, climbing rope and tent to their demonic little teeth.
Ahaaa, Life in the food chain
