We braved the wild wind this past weekend to erect our furbaby's enclosure!

BEFORE PHOTO: The eastern side (neglected) garden. Slopey but heavily shaded by our huge bottle brush.





BASE: We dropped the height of our front timber retaining wall to save buying new timber sleepers.
Love a cheap recycle!!!





MEANWHILE: Abbey was passing the time with a bird's eye view! (she is bottom right)





NEARLY THERE: The cage is up... now for the tunnels and ramps!

Cage is L2.4mt x W1.8mt x H1.8mt

WOW that looks fabulous ! Albert will look like a mouse in there ! LOL
Albert had his needles today and was very brave even when they stuck a thermometer where nothing should go !

I can't believe you did that in the wind and I mean wind !! Gusts up to 107k at Belambi point.

Abbey normally takes time to enjoy and finish her breakfast each morning.... but this morning it was half gulped in haste before racing out to the tunnel to soak up the morning sun!! She is a very happy kitty indeed!
