Intense grooming

Beverly seems to think her sister needs an intense grooming. So she jumps on to Bekka's back and grooms her. Not sure what Bekka thinks about it though...

A nice place for a nap

This is one of Beverly's favourite places for her afternoon naps. It's on top of the sofa and it gives her a perfect view of the catyard and of the livingroom. I think it makes her feel safe. Sometimes she wakes up and then she "talks" a lot. Beverly is a very talkative lady, I must say!

True predators!

As soon as the sun sets the hunt begins. It is mostly flies and bugs of all sorts that falls into their trap. But the other day a poor frog was almost caught by the four predators Bekka, Beverly, Truls and Battus.

The frog had somehow sneaked into their catyard and I found them all four hovering about it. But with some assistance from me the frog managed to sneak out again. It was with great relief I watched the frog leap away across the lawn.

The cats have also discovered the dragonflies. It's their time of the year now and Battus and Truls caught one yesterday evening. They draged it into the kitchen, played with it until it died and then they left the body for me to pick up. Nice!

This is Truls BTW, a month ago.

The new catyard

This is lovely Bekka enjoying the new extended catyard. She (and the others) spend almost all their time out there, chasing flies and sun rays :-) They only come in to eat and to go to the loo.
This photo is from yesterday.

Showtime!

Tomorrow it's time for Battus to emter his second show. Truls was supposed to join him but we've decided to let him stay at home due to his stomach problems earlier this week. He is allright now but we want to be on the safe side.
The show will take place in Väster Haninge and is arranged by Järva Cat club.

Stomach ache

Poor Truls suffers from some kind of stomach ache or infection. It started yesterday when he couldn't keep his food. We consulted the veterinary and decided to wait and see at home as he is very alert otherwise.
So he's on a chicken diet now. I was up all night just to make sure it didn't get worse.

It doesn't seem like he has swallowed anything, it's more like he got some bacteria or ate some bad food. We'll keep a close eye on him!

Drying in the sun

Battus had a tough day yesterday. It was time for his bath and we spent an hour or so in the bathroom schampooing, rinsing, combing and fixing. As his coat is really thick it took quite the effort to bathe him!

Battus, like most moggies, doesn't like taking a bath. He doesn't see the point. But at the end of the day he survives and is really happy when it is over and done with :-) And I must say he was so brave!
Here he is sitting in the sun, drying.

Moggies taking a break

During the afternoons the cats likes to take a looong nap. This is Truls and Beverly on the sofa last Saturday. Arn't they cute together!!!
