Brunch with Battutah
Cunning kitty hiding amid the flowers
Posted by Michael Skorulski (Cigel, Slovakia) on 16 September 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
We found kitty as an abandoned orphan only a few weeks old. Now she has turned into a fine cat with three kittens of her own.
@Steve Rice: That's a great way of putting it and would have made an excellent title. thanks, Steve.

Clever treatment! You really have something new every time I look at your photos. The cat's eyes are gorgeous. And a nice story, too. I like hearing rescue cat stories, as we have one ourselves :)
