Won't be going there either!

No decision yet on the kittens although if I keep them all I will then have 10 cats! I'll wait and see whether any of them has a strong bond with mum or develop a strong bond with me. Lily lets me pick them up and pet them for no more than a minute. This morning I moved them into a different "enclos...

If you change the drinker for one with a different coloure...
