Last night, Merlo went missing. I realised she was gone sometime around 8-8:30, and I hadn't seen her since around 7:00. Raoul and I searched the entire house over several times, and called and called outside. She didn't come, not even at the sound of food in her bowl (and she hadn't even finished her supper, so she had to have been hungry). Merlo never really wanders from the house much. The longest she's been away before has been maybe half an hour or so, and she usually comes soon after she's called.Read more »

I've never been as much of a cat person as I am a dog person. I've never had anything against cats, but because we never had one growing up, I was never extremely fond of them either. Then I came here, and Raoul had Keena, so I had my first real experience of having a cat.Read more »

By popular demand, I've added a few pictures. There are a few of Merlo, as well as some long-awaited honeymoon photos. With our better connection, I'll try to upload photos a bit more frequently. Enjoy!

Well, the cats are finally getting along with each other. Merlo, of course, was never the problem, being the new addition and a kitten at that. Keena, on the other hand, needed to adapt to having another cat in the house.Read more »

A little over two weeks ago, we had a new addition to the Snyman family. She's cute,  curious,  and cuddly, and she's very attached to her mum (me). She's also a furry, four-legged feline (and for anyone who is thinking about getting smart, I've seen felines with no hair, and also felines with less than four legs :-P). Yep, that's right, we got a kitten! She's about 7 weeks old now, and her name is Merlo.Read more »
