Albany Holiday

We headed to Albany on Boxing Day. Dunc only stayed for a couple of days before he headed home (with the animals) to finish harvest. I stayed on until the 31st and we arranged that I would catch the bus to Perth and we would meet up there for New Year's Eve.

I naively had high hopes that Ellie and Ebony might really hit it off and become good kitty friends despite the 14 year age difference. I should have known better. Ellie hates other cats and she looked at me with disdain for the weekend as if she were thinking, How could you Sarah, how could you replace me as your puss with this black thing and bring it into MY house? On the first night, the two cats got into an almighty fight. Ellie stalked Ebony and finally lunged at her so there was a ginger and black ball rolling around with fur flying and lots of yowling. Despite Ellie's old age she showed that she was the supreme fighting cat by having the upperhand before we quickly separated them.


Maya meeting Ellie. She got plenty of hisses and kept her distance.
Moments before Ellie struck. There were hisses from both parties before the big brawl. It was the cougar vs the panther.
Duncan and Maya at the dog beach.
Maya loved a little dog that looked like a mop. She kept running after it and sniffing it as if to say, You call yourself a dog?!? HAHAHA
