The big cats (Lion, Leopard, Puma, Cheetah, Tiger adn Jaguar) always has the limelight. I think the lesser cats (Bobcats, Wildcats, Lynx, Serval, Margay, Ocelot and Caracal) are just as lovely and needs this special place in our website.

Any wild cat except the big five listed above are welcome and appreciated.

One of the most important tales of the "classical" period concerns Arachne, who was not only a beautiful maiden but renowned for her talents as a weaver. Thus she thought herself worthy to challenge the Goddess of the domestic arts, Athene (who also damned the beauty Medusa, who became a female protection deity) to a weaving contest; this they did, and Arachne won, causing the furious Athene to change her into a spider so that she should spin for ever.
