I don't know if its because Hekate lost her mum in the furniture accident and then her 3 remaining siblings to the outdoors conditions or not, but today Megtron is being very protective of little Hekate!
We will set up security cameras soon, it was expected that some of the older cats would take off in a rural enclave like this, but that the kittens started disappearing was a surprise... A predator like a monitor lizard might have gotten one of them, but maybe someone picked up the last 2, which would be fine as even the cats themselves think its too crowded...
Awesome pics! Really like them Sorry to hear about the loss!

Thanks!
Trying to help Lily to get up after that accident was unexpected, I've got a background in medicine and was trying to locate any broken vertebras, her spine was not broken off clean, but still ended up dying from it, maybe the pain...
I'd think that a cat might be more intelligent and prepared to leave at any time, something similar happened to a kitten, maybe a cat that understands that it won't be able to walk again will just leave.
It was when I flipped her around and saw sand in her open eye that I knew she was dead, now her body is nutrition for a nice tree we planted a few years ago :-)
And of course maybe she is back as one of the new, tiny kittens!

Wonderful photography!
Are they Nomad cats or your pets? 😊

Well we had to move them once, but they won't be more nomadic than that!
I'll have to do without them soon, and hopefully it will just be for long-ish periods only... But its also possible that globalism will force me to never return, we will have to see
