Most of my time nowdays is spent researching and evaluating for profit schemes for me and mine here in this lovely tropical paradise.
I picked up the camera today, the first time in several weeks.
To the point though, here are some shots of the newest rat chaser. There were two of them, the other died within days of birth.
The Philippine cats are not accustomed to being petted and scratched such as the cats in the west. These cats are working cats, they keep the critters out of the house and surrounding areas.
This little kitten's mother is just now getting used to having me pick her up and pet her. She still squirms a bit when I pick her up while standing but will jump into my lap while I'm sitting on the couch.
Measurable improvement.
When the kittens were born I knew they had to be handled too. The first few weeks the mama cat would try to move the kitten into the house. Each one of us was on the lookout as this is not acceptable, to have the kitten inside.
"You made it, it's yours to clean up after and watch out for"
So today we looked around for the kitten. Mama kitty had hidden it because I picked him up the other day and pet him.
We found the little guy and plucked him out of the hiding space. Both mama and grand mama kitty were meowing with objection the whole time I held the kitten. Two adult meowing voices and one very weak and tiny meowing voice.
Anyway, I took a bunch of pics and these are some of the better shots from the bunch.
