Van, TURKEY: A cat is seen in front of a window at the Cat House Center in Van, eastern Turkey 19 January 2006. Guardians of a rare Turkish water-loving cat are taking no chances with the outbreak of deadly bird flu that has killed thousands of domestic birds and claimed the lives of at least four children in the country. The virus supposedly spreads to humans only if they come into contact with infected birds and poses no known threat to cats. But veterinarians which are at the centre of the outbreak, are not taking any chances with the famous cats of Van, a protected species with white fur, auburn markings and different-coloured eyes.

VERSAILLES, Mo. (AP) -- An arrest has been made in an attack on two cats who were shot in the neck with arrows in mid-Missouri.

The Humane Society of Missouri announced the arrest Wednesday, but the name of the suspect was not released pending the filing of formal charges.

The cats named Patches and Licorice were found injured in Versailles on Sept. 10. Both are recovering at a veterinary clinic in Morgan County, Mo., though Patches may lose a leg.
 

Humane Society officials say they are hopeful that both cats will recover and be adopted.
