When this was posted on CNN.COM, the headline was "House Cat Ancestor Of
Middle Eastern Wildcat".

That's quite a trick.

They have since changed it.

house cats who become their own great-great-great-. . . 
-grandparents.  Or maybe what happened to the real Pixel was to get 
sucked through a wormhole?

So Horza may or may not be a git but at least he (?) is normalized, 
which is I suppose better than being abnormal on top of being a git . . .
