How Fast Can You Run?

Did you know that the average house cat can run up to thirty miles an hour? That is about as fast as the average bear! No I am not kidding even a rabbit can run faster than Maggie and myself! What a relief that I can still catch an elephant or Three Toe Sloth. At least we are faster than humans. Check out this interesting chart from infoplease.com

Domesticated dogs average 18-30 mphs. There are exceptions such as the Greyhound and Regal Saluki dogs which can reach speeds of 40 -45 mphs! Their relatives the African wild dog can run 50mph.

Our relatives the big cats can really kick butt. The Cheetah which is the fastest land animal has been clocked at speeds over 70 mphs! So impressive. Maggie and I love this following video we found on You Tube on the top fastest animals. Tell us what you think! Check out the red fox, he is just flat out fun to watch.

Hug your Animals!

All About Me

My photo
Jill illustrates greeting cards and works at an Animal Medical Hospital in Arizona. Her love for animals can be seen in every drawing she has ever done. It wasn’t until Jill and her husband Paul adopted Maggie & Sam (2 crazy cats) from the Humane Society that Jill created the Maggie & Sam Collection. All of Maggie and Sam’s personalities as well as their friends have been captured in Jill’s work. In every illustration you will see humor, and love through her characters’ eyes. Jill has been selling her cards in local Arizona Stores. However, being passionate Jill wanted to create a website that would bring people together to talk about their pets, share their stories and to interact with other pet lovers. They will be able to learn new and interesting facts about the various animals pictured on the greeting cards, read their pet’s horoscope, and send personal messages to their friends and families at any time via e-mail.
