Saturday 13.1.18
The storms from our
North coast reached across Australia and hit us at the bottom corner today with
heavy rain. We have been hearing
rumbling thunder since Friday night, but the weather stayed hot with
insignificant showers. I feel very relaxed now that the hay is
in the shed and the accounts done, so we drove up to Woodend, near hanging
rocks, today and picked up a farm cat from the vets. He was advertised via our Face book friends’ network with
uncanny timing. He even looks like
a younger fitter version of the cat we lost and they were so desperate to
re-home him that he was a gift.
I have been worried
about how we would cope with out a cat. Before the last one arrived we had rats
and mice in plague proportions.
All our tomatoes and pumpkins got chewed and rabbits multiplied. I was
most surprised when the message about this cat came up on the computer. It was a weird co-incidence, as I have
never had this type of message before.
It will be a bit before we
know if the cat is pleased with his new circumstances. I have put him in the Donga so
that he is safe and gets a chance to settle down. Luckily Edd had a bag of kitty litter from his fungi
growing capers.
He actually is much better looking than his advert shows, I am not sure he knows much about being a working cat, but he enjoys a stroke and was very tolerant of a young child's advances yesterday. I let him out for the morning and he came back to base without problems so we can progress to total freedom next. I am not used to house trained, docile cats!
