A baby Kangaroo is just the best little creature to mother.
Not that Kabu really needed a baby at that time. Her little boy was not yet two and she was pregnant again, still, when she was handed the joey,she couldn't resist the little thing. A female grey with the sweetest little face. Grey Kangaroos don't grow as tall as the big reds that they tend to show...

Now for those who are confused well more than normal anyway,
Frangipani was one of the most beautiful little cats ever to walk with dainty paws on this earth. For almost twenty years she was my constant companion and ruled the house gently but firmly. Even though she's been gone for over a year now I still see her from the corner of my eye scooting up the...

Years ago, Kabu lived in the bush in north west New South Wales.
Not as far out as Moree but very isolated. It was beautiful country, great rolling tree covered hills, creeks gurgling along merrily in the valleys and huge boulders of granite rock, some too large to climb. Actually the Australian film, "The chant of Jimmy Blacksmith" was shot not far from the...

Back to Boo Doo and falling in love.
I got side tracked for a while but Kabu has just stepped out so it's my turn to blog. (Never underestimate cats!) Anyway there we were all crammed into the vet examination room; that is Kabu, Daddy, the vet, two university students and a high school boy on work experience and not to mention two...

I just remembered a story from when Kabu was a girl!
She used too love to tell me animal stories while I cuddled on her lap. This one is about a pet lamb called "Blanket Sam." Kabu grew up on a farm in South Australia where there was enough space to run wild, to keep animals and to interact with nature. No fears of city streets with their inherent...

Breaking news!!!!!!! the python bit Kabu yesterday.
Just a little nip and then she was so sorry she snuggled her head next to Kabu's ear and gave a series of gentle little hisses to make sure that they were friends again. Kabu needn't have melted quite so fast for goodness sake. If it was me that had bitten or scratched, I'd have been sent to the...

FRANGIPANI CONTINUES HER PYTHON MEETS THE VET TALE.
We scooted across that waiting room floor and into the examination room only to be brought up short, mouths a gape and eyes popping. The room was full of people. The aforesaid divinely handsome vet along with not one but two university veterinary wannabes and a high school student on work...

Actually, when the vet asked for"Boo," kabu may have felt embarrassment
but she was also kinda relieved. A young chap sitting next to her had brought his pet white ferret in for a vet check and it was crawling all over him, the chair, and way too close to the Python. Now we know that the silly creature was trying to hibernate and had stopped eating but that ferret...

Kabu really is a pushover when it comes to animals.
I always had the upper paw when it came to who was in charge and the soppy care she takes with that python would make any self respecting cat vomit on the best rug or Daddy's bed. Last winter the python stopped eating and tried to hibernate. Not going to happen of course because she lives inside,...

Garfield Peters, "The secret life of cats," now let me the great Frangipan
tell you how to out- shovel (a cat word you will understand) that sickeningly cute Michael. Sit sphinx like and face him. Say nothing verbal but let your body and whiskers talk. Breathe deeply and slow, keep perfectly still especially the tail. DO NOT LET the end so much as twitch. Glaze over your...
