Rose Cottage Cattery

Peaches (pest control officer) has been on patrol for 11 days, she comes back for a meal every night, I have seen her paw prints by the bowl but there is always the niggle that it may be some other opportunistic moggy guzzling the lot.

Because of this, hubcaps (my other half) has set up an infra red camera to monitor the situation.  I bought this camera for him as a christmas present, the idea was that he could keep an eye on the alpacas and at the same time look out for any wild life.  It has taken more than 3 months to set it up but it is now working and as we watched Monty Halls in the Highlands, one eyeball kept drifting towards the laptop.

Hubcaps suddenly shouted with excitement and there on the screen were two bright white circles moving up the path and disappearing between the sheds where the food is left, they looked just like the cats eyes in the middle of the road.  After a few minutes she reappeared and headed back down the path, we rushed into the kitchen and watched Peaches strolling along the wall in front of the cattery and disappearing up the road.  It was very exciting until it dawned on us that she wasn’t heading up to the field and barn to kill all our rodents, she was instead heading off to the neighbours.  Well you can’t win them all!
