I don't know if this is good news or bad news... but our Week-to-View Cats of South Africa diaries are SOLD OUT! And we still have two months to Christmas.....
I will talk to the printer about an additional print run, but only if enough people want the smaller w/v diary.
So... if you think you might want this fabulous, compact and handy mini-diary for 2025, please send me a mail or a Whatsapp and I will add up the numbers and see if it is worth getting more printed.
And THANK YOU, everyone, for the magnificent support!

This weekend I started packing up the Cats of South Africa diaries for despatch. The script went something like this:

Finish collating orders, numbers and payments. Correct all the mis-entries caused by a cat on the keyboard.
Get an empty box.
Remove cat from keyboard. Track and correct further mis-entries.
Collect the first batch of diaries.
Box occupied by cat.
Remove cat, insert diaries.
Collect second batch of diaries.
Box occupied by cat and diaries.
Remove cat, restrain cat with one hand while packing diaries with the other.
Box now occupied by second cat.
Remove second cat and put second box on top of first box to prevent invasion by cat.
Second box occupied by first cat.
First box fully packed. First cat does not like the packing arrangement and sets about re-arranging the diaries.
Second cat has spotted a little piece of cardboard caused by a tear in the box and regards it as a lethal threat to be stalked and subdued.
First cat attacks second cat from the top of the box.
Third cat now enters the scene, just in time to occupy third box.
Remove third cat, distract second cat, rescue diaries from first cat.
First box packed. Second box halfway.
First cat occupies lap and promptly goes to sleep. Now I cannot move.
Try to reach third box while not disturbing first cat, restrain second cat, remove third cat.
Fourth cat arrives......

‼️ Please help with feeder ‼️

Is there someone who can feed in Reservoir Hills as the current feeder is relocating and she has a small colony at the Checkers she feeds. She does not want her cats to go hungry! Starving cats become scavengers, which is dangerous for them and a nuisance to people.
She's prepared to still buy the food for someone that can please take over that small colony.

Please contact Haseena +27 72 601 7522
