This month I wrote two very different stories that are both about eating meat of one kind or another. One is science-based and a look at how far along the road we are to being able to grow meat in a lab on an industrial scale. The other is the only known example of one animal being responsible for the death of an entire species.
I have had a rush of work from a couple of my clients and even more on Fiverr. That has meant I’ve neglected work on Medium, which is a shame as I love writing about whatever tickles my fancy. Sadly, I can’t really share about 90% of what I do, as all the work is ghost-writing for others. Whatever. Here are some fun stories.

The Cat Responsible for the Death of an Entire Species
This is the story of a pregnant cat called Tibbles, who was brought to a remote island that had a rare flightless bird living on it. You can probably guess how it panned out. Read it here.

I hope you enjoy both stories, they were certainly fun to write. I guess I was thinking about meat a lot last month.
