Minibu

Minibu loves to help me keep this and other blogs up to date!

Here she was this morning, carefully checking out a photo I had taken of her earlier checking out the Blog.

This is what is called "double-checking"!

Cat's eyes!

Can you spot Minibu - under the tree - in among the presents?

Lurking like a little ET among the packages, Minibu specialised in quietly removing gift tags from the presents - and making sure that all ribbons were OK!

Bushka keeps an eye on things from the doorway :-)

Merry Christmas!

From Bushka

This is Bushka keeping an eye on the Christmas tree decorations. It was her (and Minibu's) first Christmas, so all was exciting. The tree provided perfect cover for ambushes, the gifts were great opportunities for removing name tags, pulling ribbons, shredding any soft paper and otherwise fully engaging with the Christmas festivities :-)

Mangy Coon alert!

Both cats are now being treated for ringworm - which is not an intestinal infection but a contagious skin condition, which results in small patches of fur falling away from the skin - mostly around their ears!

Rare in this part of London - the vet had not seen a case for 3 years - we have concluded that she picked this up from her adventures outside, possibly from a mangy Fox! The good news is that she is expected to make a full recovery, and Bushka is even gracious about swallowing her daily pill! Even better, they both love their twice daily treatment of having cream rubbed into their ears - purring their appreciation of all this attention very loudly!
