Hi there. Got my laptop working, sort of at least.
Updates: no one has fallen into the sea since I last posted. The swallows have left their nest under the dock, so it's unlikely that Caliban will take a dive this summer. But I do have a short clip of him on the dock with the swallows diving at him. I'll upload it to Youtube when I get back to town (and broadband). Caliban and Emil are slowly making friends. Yesterday, when they met on the cliffs, Cal ran happily towards Emil and they sniffed noses and butts. A while later, Emil was lying on the cliff, and Caliban came at him, tried to bite his neck, and they wrestled for two seconds. Then they lay beside each other for a moment before getting up and walking off in different directions. There's something so lame about the two of them. Just when you think they'll start playing with each other, they just walk off and ignore each other. Today, when Caliban saw Emil in the morning, he ran up to him and mrrped, they sniffed noses and butts, then walked off again. Miranda's appetite is much better out here on the island, which figures since it's harder than usual to keep her in fresh meat every day here. Luckily I have the desiccated meat for her, and she continues to like that, so I can eke out her food with that. We've had a bit of a palaver with a neighbour's doxie. She's a very happy little d*g who comes a-visiting every now and then, but the cats are soo not happy with her. I think Caliban spent over an hour up a tree yesterday after Nala had been here, snuffling around all over our lot. He was very upset, and didn't even come home until well over an hour after his dinner time, which is quite unheard of. Our neighbours seem to think the leash laws do not apply to them (the father is one of the richest people in Finland). We're having a hot, dry spell and are seeing a lot of Flat Cat Syndrome. The cats love rolling around on the smooth warm cliffs. I think my niece has numerous pictures of them doing this. She said she's taken over 1,000 photos here, so it will be some time before she has them organized and uploaded to flickr. But it will be worth the wait, I promise. Purrs to all, and my deepest condolences to Susan and your family. Haven't had time to read much else yet (1297 unread messages). -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

OTOH all the cats are roaming free too, so one li'l doxie and... how many cats are there...?? some seven-eight or so? Do the cats always stay on your property only, or do they wander over onto the neighbours' lots? Let the doxie have some freedom, she's on vacation just like your furkids are... -- Christine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb108/christal63/ photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |

Hi there. Got my laptop working, sort of at least. Glad to hear from you. I saw one of your other posts before this one and for a moment I thought your vacation was already over! Updates: no one has fallen into the sea since I last posted. That's good to know. It sounds very dramatic when you put it that way. We're having a hot, dry spell and are seeing a lot of Flat Cat Syndrome. The cats love rolling around on the smooth warm cliffs. I think my niece has numerous pictures of them doing this. She said she's taken over 1,000 photos here, so it will be some time before she has them organized and uploaded to flickr. But it will be worth the wait, I promise. I know it will! Hope you're having a great time. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

The neighbours always apologize profusely, but they seem to be unable to keep the dog on their section (which is about ten times as large as our section). -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

There are no leash laws for cats (exccept some cities have their own bylaws). But all dogs are supposed to be kept on a leash during the summer months. Their section is also about ten times as large as ours, so you'd think they could keep their dog on their side. Even if the cats wander into their section, they definitely don't go near their houses or chase and scare their dogs. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |
