Perth cat-sitter wanted

Hi guys,

This isn’t for me, but someone else in Perth who posted to the 9 Lives Cat Rescue page on Facebook. Thought I’d pass the message on in case anyone here can help;

I have been offered a the opportunity to go to Egypt for one year with my job. I have a 7 year old x-Abyssinian cat called Gismo whom I love like crazy but I don’t want to bring him to Egypt (not a good place for a cat). I am looking for a loving home for him for 12 months around December this year. It is very important that he gets to a home where he can get plenty of love and attention as he will otherwise get depressed. It would be also ideal if he can be left outside but only during the day (with access back inside home) as he tends to get into catfights at night (we have a cat door for him during the day - which we close at night to leave him in). Ideally the house you live in is also not on some busy road. I will pay for all his food supplies (he has a specific diet), litter-fill and all other costs. and also cover any vet bills if he needs to see the vet during this year due to injury, illness etc. 

He is an extremely entertaining and curious cat, loves to play, and thrives on attention. Has no bad habits apart from catching the odd lizard in summer time. He is not a lapcat though - more like a dog tends to just sit next to you:) I really need to find someone very loving and caring as my cat is extremely attached to me and i am worried that without the necessary TLC he will not cope well with the one year separation - after which I will take him back to my home. If I cannot find someone suitable I will have to send him to Switzerland to my Mum, which I would prefer to avoid as it may be stressful for him the whole flight journey etc. 

If you feel you can help me out please contact me on: arthemis.jl@gmx.ch

If you can help this lady and her cat out that would be awesome!

It's not torture if you can't speak

There is no excuse for causing a living creature to vomit, spasm, scream and suffer for 6+ hours just because WE decided after introducing it into the country that hey, we don’t want it any more.

There is simply no excuse. I can tolerate (but not be comfortable with) rapid, painless euthanising of pest species, but not this. Overall I prefer the methods that ceases the victim’s ability to reproduce, natural deaths doing the work for us, albeit more slowly.

But apparently Australia’s #1 way of removing feral foxes, cats, dogs etc is to give them hours upon hours of mindless torture until death.

I simply have no words.

cakes and cats

Just a quick catch up post. Here are two of the three birthday cakes I baked to share for my birthday last week (all wheat free recipes). The most delicious one in my opinion was the lemon-polenta-ricotta-berry cake, although the carrot cake was unbelievably good also. The carrot cake icing had a spicy dash of alcoholic zazz that really made a difference, along with a few other tricks to make it thick and fluffy and delicious!

I also made lemon-lavender cookies, and peanut butter cookies, which were ridiculously popular (they tasted like peanut flavoured shortbread, really).

Lucius was so cute snuggling up to Butters that I had to capture it on my mobile. I should put more Kyoko pics up here, it's just whenever she's cute I am mobile-less or she is already on my lap! Must get a recent pic Scott took of her and put it up here, it is brilliant.

End ramble.

This is what happens when I make the bed

I dust it, I beat it, I air the mattress and change the sheets, and out of nowhere, cats spawn.

TOO MANY PANDAS
