Guarding the food

Blanca is still hobbling and it wasn't until today that I had my camera handy to take a picture of her injury.

I was busy cleaning the trunk of dad's old car when she along with her now grown cats decided to come over and act as supervisors :)

There are three stray cats who lay around the northern fence and now have a clear view of the kitchen porch. They know this is where I feed my boys on top of the old washing machine.

You can see a white ball in the far right by the fence.

The other night Nico was just sitting there watching one of them eat without doing anything about it. I dashed outside and ran him or her off.

This afternoon Blanca saw the same one eating and despite her bad leg took off after it. I had to make my way there as they were making these horrible sounds like they were going to fight.

When I got there the other cat took off and Blanca started sniffing around and then went to the adjacent lot after it even though I called her back.

Never a dull moment with four cats around.

In the hunt for a new pet carrier

I have been looking to purchase an additional pet carrier.  I saw one at Walmart that is both top as well as front loading but was rather small.  Checked out some that were made of canvas fabric but I think Paquito would shred it to pieces if I tried to place him in it.

I cleaned Blanca's wound with peroxide and applied 3 in 1 ointment which she quickly licked from her leg. I need to take her to the vet in Mexico but I have had a very busy schedule this week.

On another note even though Pollito has yet to clear the southern part of the property, the cats are loving having the run of the northern yard without getting lost in the brush and weeds.
