Siësta

Most of our ferns are wilting due to the warm weather and ongoing drought.

While watering with a water can, I suddenly spotted a visitor.

Pan is having a siësta. I think I should follow his example ☺︎

Peace

Sleepy Sunday

Mobli

Mobli is fighting a lost battle ...

RAW

Since a couple of days I've been feeding Mobli raw meat.

He was getting thinner and thinner and wouldn't eat any cat food.

No longer half the cat he used to be, we were afraid of losing him.

He lost his athletic steady walk and started walking unstable, lost a lot of weight
and energy, couldn't wash properly and his eyesight got really bad.

Desperately I asked the kenderman to bring Mobli a chicken fillet,

originally planning on boiling small pieces of meat for him.

That's when the kenderman proposed to feed Mobli raw chicken meat.

Last Saturday I gave it a try and he started wolfing down his food right away.

Two days in a row he's been eating raw chicken and today I gave him some raw salmon.

He's still skin and bones but you can see he's feeling a little bit better.

When we came home today we couldn't believe our eyes...
Mobli was lying on top of the gate after barely being able to jump on a chair/my lap for days!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'm not giving up on him yet

but I know Mobli has become tremendously vulnerable.

But he's purring loudly when he's on my lap... even while I try to give him a wash.
Only his mouth (you can see why), hind-legs and tail can do with some extra care.

I can't understand why but the rest of his fur is shining!
Mobli ROCKS ★

Hi!

Love him to pieces!

Someone Has Got To Work Around Here

Project Mobli

On Friday I was hesitating to collar Mobli...
But he acted really cool as if he was used to it :)

PacMobli

The next stage was installing a catflap for Mobli so he can sleep an eat inside the house.

No, he won't be joining Mats and Nim. There's no way Mats would tolerate Mobli.

Mobli will have his own room where we can join him and check on him without having to go outside.
You can see an read about his previous winter home here and here.

It's such an ugly catflap! The catflap is open now so he can get used to this.

Since Mobli doesn't have a microchip we needed a catflap with chip collar

because no other cat is allowed in. This must be a save haven just for him.

Hopefully the door will look a bit better when I'll paint it.

But is works!!! Around midnight I checked on him and he was
still sleeping deeply. He has probably spent the night indoors :D

Supervisor

 My supervisor in the garden... Mobli

 While I was taking pictures he came really close.

Outsider

 Mobli is my favorite outsider.

When I'm at home and in for a break outside, I walk up to his styrofoam box and call his name.

He sleeps in this box a lot. We assume it's because he's save there for stray cats.

We'll have to build him a summer version.

He zigzags in front of me....... so he is asking for some food

Finally he joins me on the terrace.
