It has been so hot here that over the last week, it has really been quite still. Nothing dares to move, including me. Well, not quite. I have been for a few walks around the boundary, but the birds are finding shelter any way they can, and are well out of sight. The ground is … Continue reading Sunbathing Cats

Luna and Clio’s first day in the enclosure
In our previous house, Luna and Clio had free access to a patio enclosed by cat netting. They both love being outside, basking in the sun or chasing insects. For the past few months in our new house, they have had to be content with sunbaking next to a full length window, or watching birds … Continue reading Luna and Clio’s first day in the enclosure
Cat Enclosure Stage 2 – Cat Netting
This weekend the weather was fine and we had free time, so we were able to finish the cat enclosure. Essentially this meant covering the yard with cat netting and patching up any potential escape points, for example, making sure the cats are not able to get under the house, or squeeze through a gap … Continue reading Cat Enclosure Stage 2 – Cat Netting
The Cat Enclosure Stage 1 – New Fence
It has been very difficult to find clear weekends to build, where we don’t have other commitments, but last weekend we made some progress on the cat enclosure. Finally! We needed a firm anchor point for the cat netting. Unfortunately, the existing lattice was not strong enough. It was beginning to show signs of age, … Continue reading The Cat Enclosure Stage 1 – New Fence

The new fencing materials are due to … Continue reading The Cat Enclosure Dilema
The cats approve of the move
We had wailing cat ‘sirens’ in the car all the way from our old house to the new one – about 30 minutes of anxiety for all of us. So I was more than a little worried about Luna and Clio, and wondered how they would settle into their new home. As it turns out, … Continue reading The cats approve of the move
Catching My Breath in Slow Motion
The pace of life seems to have slowed since our move. Partly this is simply because we have passed through three frantic weeks of cleaning, packing and uppacking boxes, shifting furniture into new formations that suit the new spaces, and the settlement on our former home has successfully come to a close. Now we just … Continue reading Catching My Breath in Slow Motion
Moving the Cats
It’s getting exciting now. Only one more week before we can move to our fifteen acres of bush. Apart from madly packing our stuff into boxes, we’re starting to narrow down the list of things we need to do so we can move in. The very first thing we will need to do in our … Continue reading Moving the Cats
