Kitty Bye Bye :(

Time to blow my cover.I'm not actually in Rwanda anymore! I'm in the UK but had to keep it extremely hush-hush as I was returning to surprise my mam for her 60th birthday.More on this soon, however I just wanted to make a quick tribute post to my beautiful babies Ishuheri and Sula. As I was coming back for a month I took the decision to re-home them with Sarah and Christiane, two volunteers living close to the VSO office. They both love cats and have a nice big garden where they can play. Being close to the office I can visit them when I get back and make sure they're well settled in and happy.I took them over by taxi on Sunday 12th July. There were tears in the taxi but felt fine by the time I left. Sarah and I sat in the spare room watching them and giving plenty of cuddles. Oddly Sula was the best adjusted - she's a little honey. Shuey was a tad moody about it but soon warmed up to the situation.My wee babies, had them since they were kittens. One-and-a-half years. Memories of baby Mao who threw himself under a car aged 10 months :o/They're just over the road from my first house now so they can pop in for a massage ;) (that's what they turned it into - a massage parlour!)I finally managed to borrow Martine's camera so took loads of photos of them before leaving. Thought I'd bore everyone to death with them now :)You can also read about when Ifirst brought them homeand when welost Maoand seeolder pics.Sula: extreme close-upIshuheri: lookin' smooothSula: Egyptian Bast posePlaytime!Sula: relaxing in the back yardChow down!Can we come with you mum?We iz beautifulAnd we're fine in our new home:Final note, if anyone is ever looking for a vet in Kigali, call Justin: 078884 3318 - he is absolutelywonderful. He came to give them their rabies boosters and they absolutely adored him for it. Seriously, I was expecting a real struggle but he has a magical ability with animals. Can't recommend him enough and he does house calls for FRW 2,000.Disclaimer: all views written on this blog are my own and are not necessarily representative of VSO.
