Kids Love Leopardy:
University of Tennessee Vet School Open Houses
Kids love Leopardy!
Leopardy has been a guest exhibitor at the UT Vet School Open House for the third year in a row (2001, 2002, and 2003). School children and teachers from all over the East Tennessee area come these annual Open Houses. Here some of the children and their teachers meet Leopardy while UT veterinary students (in the red shirts in the background) look on. 
Firenze in Professional Veterinary Publication!
In the USA and Canada, the book can be ordered here. It is a bit pricey but extremely useful and informative.
Dr. Sharon Crowell-Davis, internationally acclaimed animal behaviorist, is the author of a chapter on "Social Organization, Communication, and Development in
Cats" in a book, The BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Behavioural
Medicine, published by the
British Small Animal Veterinary Association. The chapter features two pictures of our bengal queen, Firenze, mothering her kittens. One picture shows her nursing her kittens and the other shows her cleaning a kitten's bottom. The captions identify her as being a bengal----a breed rarely shown in technical veterinarian texts, especially as exhibiting "normal" cat behavior.
Slides of PrinceRoyal Bengals Included at Major Veterinary Conference
Dr. Sharon Crowell-Davis, internationally acclaimed animal behaviorist, used some slides of our Leopardy and Zelazny grooming each other to illustrate her lecture on "Social Organization and Communication in the Domestic Cat" at the 2001 Annual Convention of the 2001 American Veterinary Medical Association.
