Yay!! The girls' catio is now finished, thanks to Scott from CatSafe Enclosures (short of the access flap through the window which should hopefully happen next week).
This area is around 10m long x almost 2m wide and fully contained to keep the girls safe while they enjoy some sun and air. Positioned on the eastern side of the house, it gets the best of the morning sun but is then nicely sheltered during the hottest part of the day.
I still have to think of a few other ideas to keep them entertained, but the shelf platforms at the end should allow them to get on top of the shed so they can watch the community go past and/or play in the park across the road.

I got this toy in one of the raffle prizes, and the fishing is going well!

Summer, Mimi and I attended the FASA Annual Show today. Massive congratulations to Lyndall Kennedy on running a great show, and to all the winners, particularly Wendy Barker and Harpo for taking out Supreme.

Our judges today were
Ring 1 : David Crymble NZCF
Ring 2 : Barbara LaRocca QFA
Ring 3 : Kingsley Schmidtke GCCFSA

Today was Summer's first time in the adult ring and I was really pleased to see her very comfortable on the bench. She received her challenge under each judge, and under Kingsley, was best of breed and 3rd best in the group of 20 Group 3 Entires.

Having just turned 6mths, this was only Mimi's 2nd show and she behaved beautifully. While she was reserve of breed to Eva Sherriff's gorgeous black girl Pixie under each judge, she still received a lot of very encouraging feedback.

As an extra bonus, I was surprised to win each of the 3 items I tried for in the raffle, including cat beds and a very cool backpack cat carrier. Big thanks to those who donated them!

Thanks as always to the judges, stewards, ring clerks, data entry, photographers, and all volunteers, the amazing and generous sponsors and donors, and all fellow exhibitors for a great day.

EDIT: I'm pleased to advise that Bonnie found her new people today, and is spending her first night settling in with her new pawrents.

Bonnie was born here 22nd August 2020. Sadly, her owner, Carrie, is unable to keep her and has asked for help finding her the perfect lap.

Bonnie (aka Bon Bon) almost 5 years old female, desexed, Black Tortie Tabby and White Devon Rex. She is a loving sweet girl who needs a quiet life, and a warm lap to sit and watch Netflix.
No other dogs or cats (although may like the company of a kitten in time, once settled.)
Strictly indoors only or netted enclosure.
No very young children.
Would be ideal to find someone who is home a lot or works from home.

Please DM me to be put in contact with Carrie.

Meanwhile, Anoushka left this morning, to go live with two of her sons, one from each of the litters she had while with me. I know James and Monique will make her very welcome, and trust her boys will too, in time.

I received this message and photos this morning, and I have to say they look very accurate 🥰

"Ruby is living her best life in Burra with the warm fire. She loves the fire! And nanna said she sleeps on their bed all rugged up every night she’s settled in so well. Took some time but was well worth it for them"

Thanks for the update Ema 😀

If you're in or around Maryborough next weekend, this would be a great opportunity to meet a variety of cat breeders. Alternatively, if you're in Adelaide on the 21st/22nd, you can come to the Animal Expo at Wayville, and meet breeders, including me
