BTW Luna and Lola were spayed nine days ago. This was so easy compared to 20 years ago. The next morning after the surgery it was like they had no surgery at all. They were just fine, running, jumping and playing. When I remember my other girls....they were not well for almost a week, had a long cut with many stitches and the whole belly was shaved but Luna and Lola lost only a few hairs, had a very small cut with only two stitches. They didn’t even need a collar.

I don‘t think that it is more dangerous than 10 or 20 years before but the nighbours have lost two cats on the main road the last three years and the three cats they have now walk down the hill to the road, too and cross the road, I have seen them there and that is of course very dangerous. My old gang never walkend down the hill, their territorry was the big field behind the house but you never know what these four will do.....Well, and now that I am alone, my husband and my mother passed away last year, then no one would be here to keep an eye on them when I have to leave the house and they are out. And although I am not a fraidy-cat....we left the balcony door open day and night for the cats, I think I wouldn‘t do that now but with this enclosure there would be no chance for someone to get into the house over the balcony and I can leave the door open. It‘s of course a bit sad for the cats , the life of an outdoor cat is more interesting and thrilling but they don‘t miss it, I am sure they have forgotten the few weeks they lived on a farm because they were very young when I got them.

Poor Ambercat, hope the prescription diet will work now but to eat a sponge wasn‘t a good idea, too. Seems it‘s a bit difficult to diagnose pancreatitis. You maybe remember that Willi and Moritz suffered from pancreatitis, too. It took a long time until my old vet found out what was wrong with Willi, my new Vet was better with Moritz.

Yes you are right, a Snow thrower would make it much easier. But last winter there was not much snow and I thought that I can manage that alone but this year.....I brought two little snowballs for the cats, that was funny. They tried to eat it and to lick it and to play with it and then the snowballs were gone and the cats looked for them everywhere 🙀😻😺

I can understand that, sun would be very nice here. We had 100 cm snow during the weekend, I can’t feel my arms anymore from all the snow shoveling.
