Jail Time for Former New Waver’s Cat Abuse

Several months ago I posted about the animal abuse charges against Dale Bozzio, former lead singer for the new wave band Missing Persons. Bozzio was charged with 12 counts of animal cruelty after investigators found her house stuffed with neglected cats.

You won’t be surprised to hear that I am particularly interested in the evolution of felis catus (house cat). It is a tricky area and good information was hard to come by, especially for an amateur like me. I was, therefore, thrilled to find this wonderful article in the June 2009 Scientific American.

And, some are, believe it or not, superstitious about owning a black cat. But, not this week! Continue reading » » »
