Whenever something new comes up Kitti goes to have a look. Here she is
exploring the pile of moving boxes in Woodstock.
When we were about to leave the house and put the cats in cages, there was no proper cage for Kitti. We thought that she's so easy that we can just put her in a caryy bag with zipper. She managed to open the bag and run away. She climbed the huge mango tree and stayed there. We managed to persuate here to come down by offering her her favourite food, Ocean Fish Iams dry food. She got the change to say good-bye to here favourite tree causing only about 15 mins delay in our plans. On May 13th at 5.30 PM we had all the 4 cats and 2 dogs in the car and were driving to Cairns. |
