Is it cooling down?

It's all relative....................

We haven't used the air conditioning for three entire days, it must be cooling down I hear you say, so off I pootle to consult the thermometer - oh yes its cooling down, only 31 degrees now!!!!!!!  But honestly and truthfully to me it does feel quite pleasant and much less sticky than this time last week, now the only thing really to worry about is how cold I will feel when the thermometer reads 15 degrees?  So thats the obligatory British chat about the weather over and done with, now what? Well not a great deal really, we have had a steady month not a lot to report oh except three kittens (if I had a rolling eyes smilie I would post it here).

Abbie called, and it went something like this

"Mum, there are three kittens locked in the cleaners cupboard"

"Oh"

"We got the cleaners to unlock the cupboard and they say its has been locked for three days"

"Oh"

"There is no sign of mum and they are very tiny and hungry"

"Oh"..............big sigh!!!!!

"What shall I do?"

I turn to Andy and repeat Abbies tale of woe, he turns to me and says

"Tell her we ll be there in half and hour"

So of we go and arrive back sometime later with three additions to the family.

It turns out they weren't as young as we first thought, just under nourished, we were a little worried for a day or two and braced ourselves to loose atleast one if not all of them.  Gizmo, the black one was in the worst condition the other two marginally more healthy.  Fast forward four weeks and they are thriving and bouncing around like little bouncy things.  They have rapidly expanding waistlines and are just the cutest little kitties, they were litter trained within a couple of days, the only problem is that we really don't want three more cats! Two on island re-homing charities are advertising them and hopefully we can find homes, either in Cyprus or any part of Europe (actually EU countries, I wonder what will happen to our EU Pet Passports when we are no longer part of EU, will we be able to move our pets from here to France?  I digress.....................)  this has got me thinking now, how will the charities over here be able to send dogs and cats to the UK for rehoming? In theory they just won't be able to do that anymore, so what on earth will happen to all the dogs and cats so badly abused and mistreated which the Brits rescue and rehabilitate?  Best not to worry about that scenario just yet................... on to some photos of beautiful little bundles of fluff.






Kitty update.............I have to confess I started to compose this post a few weeks ago then got distracted........................since then Boo (tabby) has gone off on trial.  It all rests on how their adult cat accepts Boo, at the moment she has moved out and is only returning for food so we are hoping for a rapid improvement there.  There has also been some interest in Oreo (black and white) but the lady concerned is trying to persuade her husband.  Fingers crossed both these little kittens have found a permanent home, then only Gizmo left.
