Skitten is gone. 14 years of living with one of the finest little beings ever - even though it never knew anything. The growth in its throat was obstructing its breathing and it was getting worse and worse. Ever since Aparna sent it home from Maatjiesfontein in a box in 2007, we’ve made sure it had only good times. Simply the best little cat.
Poor Skitten has been wheezy and needed vetting. It’s going in tomorrow morning to check its larynx again. But at least its lungs are fine. Skitten is not a fan of automobile travel.
Skitten is adoring its balcony. It says “ak” and “gnka” out of pure enjoyment when we’re out there in the mornings soaking up sun and tea. This change of house has been an enormous quality-of-life bump for our little old Maatjiesfontein lady.
