Nyama the cat

My cat is back! Yes, my lovely sidekick Nyama has returned, minus two ovaries, and plus two kittens. I ventured out to collect them at a junction to the ranch today which worked splendidly well. All are healthy but I am keeping the kittens inside until they are old enough to get their rabies vaccine. This may be a challenge in and of itself, but after two years of telling clients to keep their unvaccinated cats inside, I am up for the challenge. If anyone can do it, I can. Today being the homecoming and welcome to the two kittens, they are quite scared of me and even after sleeping all afternoon in my lap still hiss and run when I try to pick them up. I am hoping that will change with time. One looks exactly like mama, and the other is black with a little white splotch on its chest. It is so nice to have animals in the house again. However, as predicted, my gecko friend has been booted out. About 3 hours after arriving home, I heard a crash and ran to the bedroom to find Nyama hanging from the curtains. I know my little friend escaped this attack, but I hope he has learned his lesson and stays hidden! I am looking forward to a peaceful night’s sleep without worry of rat noises disturbing me, unless of course it is the sound of rats being hunted, which would be okay by me.
