The Tip

I went up The Tip to stretch my paws this weekend


And look what I found....


Cattie Pillars in stripey pyjamas!!!!


Apparently when they grow up they turn in to these fellas
Burnet Mofties


So...does that mean...
Unlike Leopards,
 who can't change their spots 
Moftie Pillars
 can change their stripes for spots???

Loves and licky kisses

  5. OMCs Princess Leah we are stunned at the transformation from long and skinny to such graceful beauties. WOW Your Dad is a Cattie/Buttie Pillar expert.
    Good news from here I had a really good breakfast topped with turkey. Dang it took mom furever to read my mind and KNOW exactly what I’d eat. If had not been for Dad suggesting it I might have blown away. As they say sometimes the solution is right in front of you!!

  13. Wow, we never saw any that looked like that (in either form)! BTW, our mom say a comment your mom put on YaYa's bloggy and said she read a good explanation of why sleep is impaired and it is because the lack of hormones affects the regulation of the sleep causing hormones.

    Your Pals,
