This one was quite pretty, nice colours and seemingly intact tail.

A few more in Vientiane this time.




A friend visited the boy at the jail, he has been eating and is ok. Interesting to see what sort of reaction we get from him tomorrow.

‘We had to run’: Taronga Zoo put into lockdown after five lions escape enclosure

Families staying overnight at the zoo as part of its ‘Roar and Snore’ program were awoken by zookeepers and told to leave their belongings.

Never forget they're cats. Always planning and plotting.

Lions escape from circus 1964, in Adelaide. Didn't turn out as good.

On a fb group for Canberra Cats, a person posted some photos of their Bengal celebrating their 3rd birthday. His name is Digby and lives in Cooma.
We know the date Max was born, but no other information except we were told he was acquired from Queanbeyan.
These 2 cats share the same birthday and Digby came from Queanbeyan as well.
I’ve got their breeders details and will try to chase up if they are brothers.

He wasn’t happy with our attempt at a crossword, said it was rubbish.

will be interesting if they do turn out to be siblings as will fill in some gaps for you hopefully.

Bookends?
Not sure what they're doing or why, perhaps sometimes they just sits.

Our Kate has been diagnosed with bone cancer in her jaw, and only 6 months at most left. A huge shock. At the moment, she has no pain is eating well and her vet is on the ball.

Oh so sad to hear. Hope she remains pain free for as long as possible and you will be there for her for the hard decision to let her go. I am so sorry to hear that - an awful thing,

Thank you! Yes, it's an extremely hard decision, but we'll be guided by the vet, who is very good.

Our old cat let us know it was time. She had a look in her eyes.

Our 18 and three quarter year old lilac Burmese magnificent pedigreed Milo, grandparents Double Grand champions just sayin' that there is something in upbringing.... walked away from us on Christmas day as we were driving for lunch and was never seen again. Sometimes cats do not want to pass away in the habitat. Probably irreparable kidney issues that were undiagnosable at the time . Now we have three felines to replace him.

I still think of Munn the Cat and miss her.

This aspect of the relationship with our friends is very very sad.
As the years pass by we have said goodbye to many many friends , sadly the pain remains…..
A few years back an abrupt and tragic loss of a home bred horse who was as close to me as is possible resulted in tears for years...
I recently lost my old competition horse, he had earned his retirement in spades and was cared for right to the traumatic but brief end.
Our puss is ageing and with it he is increasingly both demanding and affectionate, his eventual loss will be devastating...

Our current ruler (Maltese Cross)of the house will be our last pet. When our Mog died very unexpectedly, it was so hard. Then we had Cindy my parents elderly rescue who came to us after my father passed away.....just still hard.
Their absence is just so hard.
I won't do that again.

I'd sorta like to get a cat, but I'm in a rural area and it would have to be a 100% indoors cat - not least because the neighbours are very pro wildlife = anti free range cat and traps are deployed as necessary!! And I'm mostly of that attitude too.

But the place is designed for free traffic inside to outside - bifold doors onto the deck etc. A walled courtyard, but that would be easily scalable. Even the upstairs balcony has easy access to the roof. Hmmm - I guess I could net that off ...

So puss would often be banished to a back room for much of the day; it would have a climbing thing and all necessary comforts. That OK?

Have a look at some outside runs that they can come and go inside. Some friends had them and they are great because the cat can go outside and enjoy the weather or come inside as they please.
