Real Rambo Progress

avatar



Rambo has made great strides and has staked his claim on a chair in the house. First, on Saturday. And now. Every. Evening. Not only is he using the cat flap to go out, so he "overnights" indoors now. Coming in, is another matter, but we shall persevere. He also seems to be rambling less and has made certain spots in the garden and on the stoep, "his". Neighbours who "know" (but dislike him) haven't seen him for a while - catching the pigeons that eat the chicken feed. They comment on how his condition has improved... Ahem...



The three of them dine together. Rambo's quite portly now, so we're managing the feeding. That said, he's not permanently ravenous like he once was.



We still dare not try picking him up, but he loves being petted and tickled. He rewards with two things: a slap (often clawed) when one stops, the biggest purs and the soppiest expression!

In month six of the Rambo project, we still have a way to go...I am persevering.

PS This is also a late entry (it was planned for Sunday, but I had @lovesniper duties) to @calumam's Word of the Week Challenge after @nickyhavey tagged me. Rambo was to have been the feature but with a "proper" Fiona treatment. That will have to wait until I have mlre time to ruminate on our Rambo journey.

Until next time, be well

Lovely big ginger starting to look very much at home, rather a home cat than a stray chasing pigeons, well done Fiona.

Ah yes, Joan. Long may it last so that we can catch him before the season starts...

I don't blame Rambo for trying his luck by going indoors now! We have a stray that hunts our garden birds but he's very skittish, doesn't look like he's hungry at all though, probably just enjoys the hunt😉 Thank you for sharing your lovely blogs here with us @fionasfavourites, great to get a taste of the Cape here!

Yes, they do enjoy the hunt. As I know from the other two. That said, as they get older, it does reduce. A little.

And we are the Cape of Storms today... expecting lots of rain overnight and into tomorrow. The wind's already started....

He’s looking very at home! I wish we could have cats but we’re all allergic. My two Chihuahuas babies are the same size and sleep in my bed, so I guess it’s the best replacement we’re gonna get 😂.

I would hate to be allergic! A friend's son is allergic and just takes the meds!! He's very at home, but we are still having the odd spat - and he's still out fighting. The Husband got caught - sort of - and I had to mop up copious amounts of blood from a tiny nick and then make a huge bandage for the small wound. It wouldn't stop bleeding. The Husband's irritated - more so that I insisted on the bandage for pressure. Sigh... Boys!

We had an adopted cab named Kinky when I was a little kid. She would wait and attack as we walked through a room. We all seemed to live in the house by her terms. 😼
