Holly & Tshinta

In February, Holly & Tshinta were enjoying life on the farm in Clybucca but then they were transported half way across the country to their new life in outback Katherine. The first leg of the 3000-odd kilometre trip was a 500km car ride to Sydney. At least they had stopped meowing once we passed the Port Macquarie turnoff. Then it was a two night stay in boarding kennels while I organised transport for the car and bought new deluxe travelling cages for them.

I was apprehensive about the next leg of the journey which was the long plane ride from Sydney to Darwin but when I checked on them in the freight section of Darwin airport atfter midnight they were O.K. Even Kayla was looking subdued in her Dog-Tainer travelling cage.

More boarding kennels for them until they caught a plane to Katherine the next day while I endured a 4 hour bus trip. For the next week I was in a motel while they were in more boarding kennels but enough was enough and I decided to move into our house. Thus we camped in the house until the car and finally the furniture turned up nearly two weeks later. Then it was cat heaven with all of the boxes which needed unpacking. Holly spent a lot of time hiding in a cupboard but Tshinta loved all of the sleeping & playing places afforded by lots of half-unpacked boxes.
