Rick's b.log - entry 2011/09/06

And then there were five

To be honest, you heard the "Mew!" (in italics and with the exclamation mark) sounds. This little kitten Mew!s like that all the time, so if it doesn't watch it, it'll end up being called Mew!. Or maybe Ichigo [*].

We took it to a vet, it was given a basic checkup. Too tiny to vaccinate, but otherwise aside from being hungry and pining for its mother (it was too young to be severed), it seems okay.

MEW!

We've put it in with Tiny Alice (the one from the "walking the cat" video) as it is the only cat we trust not to try to eat or kill it. We're having to spoil Tiny rotten to keep her purring. The two have not yet taken to each other. Wawa has claimed the box as her own, and Tiny sits on the bookshelf with her paws over her ears muttering "OhNoOhNoOhNoOhNoOhNoOhNo" and "what am I, Mary the second?" [**].

Still, I did see Tiny go and lick Wawa so maybe in a couple of weeks...

* - I wonder how many heads that reference passed over. ** - hint: star in the east

In Australia they are pests, they grow to enormous sizes in the wild and they are not scared of humans, we are scared of them.

Are you talking about cats?  Are you feeding them genetically modified corn? Or maybe you're mixing up kittens and cane toads? ;-)

Yes, I am talking about cats, wild cats, they are huge in size, you can spot one nearly as big as lynx  Some very smart people brought the cane tods to protect  sugar cane, from some bugs.   Tods don't have natural enemy so they multiply like crazy, they were brought to Queensland, now they are already in NSW and Northern Territory.

someone didn't spell check and just doubled the Australian population, by sending Tods to Queensland,  I've meant toads, of course, I cannot blame Rick for not providing spelling check link, I have to admit, I have been living in Australia for more than 20 years and cannot spell.

This is Rick's mum, thought you'd like to know WaWa AND Tiny Alice are doing fine, in fact Tiny Alice has really taken to WaWa and is mothering her all the time now!
