Day 24: An animal:

Who else? Anyway, no photo series would be complete without a pic of Moya. She was rather randomly named after the space ship from Farscape, but it's a good name and it has grown on her.
She was born in the wilds of Noord Holland, and only caught by an animal rescue group to get spayed, and then released again. They clipped part of her ear so it would be clear she was already spayed, in case the group would run into her again. After the operation however she developed a kidney infection, and it took a long time for her to heal. So long that the shelter though she might take to being adopted.
I took her home. She is super sweet, and she is still getting mellower. It took a little time to get used to a cat who does not think your are her mom, but apparently a group mate. She always insists on washing me in return when I pet her. She will be 10 next year.

Our cats are around the same age as yours (ten and eleven). We got them from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home last October. We love them so.

Date: 2011-09-03 11:26 am (UTC)after my move Moya was fine once all the familiar stuff was in the new house. Even when it was all still boxed and piled up in the living room. No idea how that works, but it's a relief, I hate to see the cat so stressed out.
How's the house coming along?

Good, thanks! Dining room has one wall and the chimneybreast done, and we're endeavouring to do the shelves one side of the hearth and the wall behind them today. Doing things one wall at a time seems to keep the chaos to a bearable minimum. Looking forward to ticking another room off the list!
