Zulu

They Missed Me!

by

Clearly the felines really missed me while I was away in Africa! They still won’t leave my side. While I was trying to work, Frodo kept trying to knead me and Zulu stood in front of the computer demanding attention.

ZULU: Frodo, that’s enough. It’s my turn for some attention!

ZULU: Mom what about me? (Zulu loves poking me if he thinks I am not paying enough attention to him)

Amarula was busy trying to make it clear to yet another neighbourhood cat, this one named Baz, (you may recall that we are getting frequent visits from Harry aka the Other Orange Menace, as Amarula likes to call him) that he was not welcome in our backyard!

Baz says Hello!

Arrival!

by

I am back from my trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe and while I was very happy to get home and see the cats, at first their reaction to my arrival was more muted.

ZULU and FRODO: How dare you leave us for so long!?

But come nighttime the cats were already softening up. Amarula made a rare appearance on the bed (she almost never sleeps with me) and actually sat beside Frodo. Even Frodo seemed shocked!

Soon Zulu joined us and we had a good cuddle. They finally forgave me!

Here are just a few photos of what we saw. For me the highlight was a pack of very rare wild dogs (aka painted dogs), a brown hyena, baby lions and an elephant that came right into camp!

Zulu: My Fav Coworker!

by

ZULU is one of my favorite coworkers. He loves sitting near me as I work on the computer.

He is a conscientious colleague. He makes sure to groom so he always looks his best.

Though I will admit that he does get playful and can be very distracting

ZULU: Of course I’m distracting. Look at me I’m gorgeous. I’m amazed you can get any work done at all with me nearby!

NOTE: I am headed to South Africa and will be traveling in Southern Africa for about a month so you may not hear from me until early May! Despite Amarula’s protests I am refusing to bring her with me to return her back to her native country but I have promised her that I will not bring back another South African stray.

AMARULA: Look me in the eyes and promise me you won’t be bringing back any more felines! One South African tortie per household only!

Love is in The Air

by

You may recall from my post a few weeks ago that there is a neighbourhood cat named Harry who is really trying to win over the gang and convince them he could be their new best friend!

Frodo is on board and wants to invite Harry inside for a play date but Zulu and Amarula (in a rare moment of agreement) are definitely not in the mood for Harry’s love and friendship.

FRODO: Let’s invite Harry in! He is such a handsome cat it’s like I am looking into a mirror

ZULU: No way! I am outta here

ZULU: Now he is making house calls at night too!? Intolerable!

FRODO: Come on squeeze through the bars Harry!

AMARULA: If that orange menace comes any closer I am going to use him as my own personal scratching post

HARRY: Come on let me in! I love visiting all the neighbours!

The Boys are Back

by

The boys are back to doing what they do best…nothing!


As long as it’s in front of the fire they can do nothing all day and night long!

Mom’s off to a winter escape in Anguilla for a week so it might take her awhile to visit other blogs but don’t worry about us cause her brother is moving in for the week to catsit us and he has promised to keep the fireplace on full time!!

Going Gray!

by

Zulu likes to hang out with me when I work and today I noticed something odd…

He is getting quite gray. He’s only 12 years old so I was surprised.

I have never had a cat go gray before. Has anyone else? Is it normal? Regardless, I think it makes him look very distinguished!

It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year!

by

It’s Zulu and Frodo’s fav time of the year. No, not Christmas. Today was the first day mom turned on the fireplace. What we humans know as winter, the felines call “fireplace season”

Get your snuggle on!

It will be tough, but I think Frodo and Zulu will somehow manage to struggle through the winter!
