Stitching up Elly and Welcome Basil!

It's been a while...

Elly cut her paw open 2 weeks ago. It resulted in surgery. The following week the vet checked her paw and she'd busted open all her stitches. We then tried taping it closed and when it was checked on tuesday, it appears that it starting to heal, yay! So she will have to put up with being kept in the carport (to stop her and Bandit playing chasings in the backyard!) I can't even let her in the house, because she runs around following the cats!

Last Saturday we picked up our new addition, Basil!! He is a brown spotted Bengal.

Didn't take long for him to settle in

The afternoon, we picked him up, he had a nap with Dad

Since then, he's been making himself comfy,

Sometimes making himself scarce

He sleeps in our bed at night, by choice ;) The ginger boys accepted him within a day and they regularly are chasing each other, with the odd swipe to keep him in his place. Syd hasn't really minded at all. Lexi on the other hand, is being a diva. We spent 2 days having growing and hissing, when he was in the same room as her. We are now down to hissing when he's close. She will give him a swipe, but not with full force.



Here is Lexi's feelings on the matter!


Will update again soon, I promise! :)
