Christmas Update - Minibu

Well, our two cats remain happy and healthy. Minibu is the cuter as she seems to have no antisocial characteristics at all.

She loves to be brushed (just as well) and eats well, though demands only the best food!

Christmas turkey, for example, with smoked salmon on the side goes down well. She then finds somewhere to doze from the exertion of feeding.

This is a photo of her taken today...

Fussy eating...

Minibu is the fussiest little eater! Only fresh food food and preferably people food. She is convinced that if she sees us eating something, then it must be good for her too. French bread? Yup! Marmalade on toast - yes please, but after the bacon, OK? Special persian cat food? No waaay!

We are hoping that she will grow out of this, but no signs yet. Bushka is mellowing nicely and it is so good to see the two cats grooming each other and cuddling up together on cold nights. That's when they aren't lying on top of us, of course. Bushka is now getting heavy whilst Minibu just purrs like a little engine, so when they tire of the bed it is actually quite a relief!

Reaching out!

Extending the paw of friendship...

Finally - Bushka realises that Minibu (even when she's asleep) is neither threat nor prey.

This moving moment (sob!) was the very first time she gently touched Minibu. Now they are firm friends and Minibu has become Bushka's "shadow" as she trots along darkly next to her!
