Goat Man, Mouseman and now………….Cat Man!
Now the cat story.
I had heard a kitten over a few days very near the house but hidden from view in undergrowth. I had also seen a cat which I assumed was the mother who had hidden the kitten to keep it safe and was returning to feed it.
I would hear the kitten every few hours but it did not sound distressed – probably just hungry.
One Sunday evening at about 6pm I heard it again so went outside to see if I could see it. The little thing was at the base of the wood store wall and I think had fallen down the undergrowth from its hiding place. It seemed ok and I left it alone in the hope that the mother would come and take it back to its hiding place and safety as we do get a lot of dogs roaming in the area as well as birds of prey.
I kept watch until 8.30pm. No sign of mum. So I used a log basket, lined with newspaper and a blanket and put the kitten in it. Left the front door open in case I heard the mother calling – she did not.
Kitten was fine and I managed to get some milk down it and it was calm.
As of this moment its asleep in its big basket – I now have two days to find a temporary/permanent home as I am away for a week!!!
I did have the choice of not interfering but my conscience and I would have had arguments.
Success – I have persuaded a Vet to take the kitten and left them with a contribution.
Best of luck to the gatico!

Living in South Africa
Arriving for the first time and as a well-travelled individual, the first thing I noticed is that it looked remarkably familiar...but different. This is the same kind of initial impression I had when I first visited Australia and New Zealand. The common theme here of course is that these countries are all part of the Commonwealth and part of their legacies are very similar indeed.
Security and Violence in South Africa are well-documented topics on the worldwide news. The first drive away from the airport revealed a landscape with houses and heavy electric fencing, a very unusual sight.
