New bed friend - facts and more

Stompa has been with us for a week now. The plan was to go to our summerhouse and stay there during the Easter Vacation. But we have dropped it. It's too cold during Nights. And our windows in the main house are not isolated, the sleeping room is filled up with plants we hope have survived the Winter and it's too cold and early in the Spring to bring them outside. So thinks the Cats. They will stay inside. We went out to the Summerhouse in todays Sunshine. Cutting down wild roses and rasberry plants from last year. Some Crocuses in Flower. That's very early to be this North. And we did see signs from Mice - looks like we will save Cat Food;))

Stompa is now becoming more and more housewarm. He even jump up in our bed during the Nights and mornings.

Here he has discoverd som old Toes. What do they smell?
18 months ago, he hide for a week, when we were Cat sitters. What a change.

Normally it's Felicia that jumps up in our bed. (She purrs us to sleep).


Rosa and Felicia loves to play. Click to enlarge. It's a must.
(If you wonder what Dr. Loosen does here - it's as simple as this: To collect Loose hair of course. The one that have lost less, is declared the Winner and receives an extra portion of premium food. LOL)


Here they play "Hold the Fort". That's what we used to play as kids, during Wintertime. Snow Forts we used to build.

1) The African Golden Cat is a medium sized cat and can grow to 90cm (35in) in body length and weigh up to 18kg (40lb). Apart from duika and other small antelope it is thought that the main part of the golden cats diet is made up of rodents, tree hyraxes and birds.

2) The Andean Mountain Cat is to be found in the high regions of Bolivia, Peru and Chile. The mountain cat is slightly larger than a big domestic cat, growing up to 60cm (24in) in length with a tail of some 70% of its body length.

3) Most abundant in Southern Africa, the Caracal is often referred to as the African Lynx or Desert Lynx, but is not related to the Lynx. It grows up to 1m (3ft) in length and the male weighs up to 18 kg. It can survive for long periods without water, obtaining its requirement from the metabolic moisture of its prey such as small buck, sand rats and rock hyrax.





That's it for this Week Cats and other Species on Tellus.
(PS. I'll be at Renny's and Diane's place in Mariestad for a couple of Days while Anna keeps an eye on Rosa, Felicia and Stompa). And I've booked my Tickets from Oslo to Chicago - outborn on July 31 - hope to visit Mackinac Island with Mats (son) and Lori (DIL) - see their new home and two Cats and Lori's young Horse- it's for 10 days only. (Must go to Hong Kong in October - Ingelin (daughter)).
