Thanks, I saved that - sitting 3 weeks in Melbourne in Dec/Jan.

Said goodbye to this sweet trio last night. It’s unbelievable that our 5 month adventure overseas, is coming to an end. A few days of touring in London, Amsterdam and Copenhagen, then back on a ship towards the US

@Colin @toml @Angela_L @Amparo thank you all so much for the well wishes. This will certainly be a summer we won’t ever forget. It was the icing on the cake to spend time with all of you, and we very much hope our paths cross once again, in the not too distant future. Here’s to life being the best adventure of all!!!

I’m in San Diego sitting with 2 black cats. The only way I can tell them apart is the male is slightly larger than the female. That makes feeding times a bit of a challenge, as she gets special food (and they aren’t foodies, so they often don’t come for food together🤣).
Oh, and the fire alarms throughout our complex are going off as we speak. I’m in a small patch of shade in the parking lot with one of the cats. The other one disappeared as soon as the alarms started. I wasn’t able to find her and had to evacuate without her. 
The fire crew is here, and there isn’t any visible smoke, so hopefully it’s nothing major.
I’m glad I knew where the cat carriers were!

We’ve been given the “all clear”, so we’re back inside now. Whew! That’s too much excitement on this hot afternoon!

In my home condo, the alarms, when they go off, tend to repeat!!
I sat a cat trio in fire country in California and the location of the cat boxes was a key point. No tips on how to capture the cats if they were getting stressed, though!
@toml you were so right about the alarms going off multiple times! We had to evacuate 3 times. I got much more efficient putting cat 1 in the carrier but never did catch cat 2! The owner said she doesn’t like loud noises, so they’ve had to evacuate without her before too.

Could you get one of them to wear a collar while you are there, to tell them apart? I’ve fostered litters of all black kittens and used whelping collars to differentiate them.

Naughty puppy, destroyed his own bed! But who could be angry with such a cutie? Filling stuck back in, a few needle stitches, and it is fine again. I call this miniature schnauzer puppy “my little donkey”. Greetings from Dundee, Scotland!
