Her stomach is thankfully much better since Andrew returned from South Africa with a bag full of "Whiskers" catfood from Johannesburg. She can't swallow this gourmet catfood fast enough, although it is starting to run out -but help is at hand, as Andrew's sister Claire is soon to join us for a few days and assures me she has purchased some more cat food in the UK to bring out to us! A de-worming tablet in her "Whiskers" also seems to have helped.
The ticks are still a bit of a probem, but once again, Claire will be able to assist us, as she may be able to bring some anti-tick and flea medicine. This will be a relief all round, as the ticks are most disgusting and swell up to giganitic proportions as they feed off the cat and make me feel quite ill! I am very grateful that Andrew is willing to remove them and they end their days flushed down the loo!
Moshi has also claimed her first prey and killed a poor little bird in our garden. Her hunting skills are already well honed, so we wait anxiously to see what she captures next... a blue-headed lizard? a rat? a snake??
Here she is, licking her lips in anticipation:
Poor Moshi! Sounds revolting, but she still looks so sweet & innocent. I love Esther's new haircut by the way... she looks so grown up now. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteDo you remember a little girl who used to dress our puss up in hat and bonnet and take him for a walk in the pram.Looks like Esther is considering the possibilities! m
