=O: =O: A cat in a week isn't a cat day, which is my goal, even on a bad trip it can be achieved in the south :-? but I have found that it soon fades and peace is required, but with kids, no way. :-? The north would lose them as it did me as a kid and I remember hours of nothing growing up and won’t put my kids through that.

I don't mean the Shingwedzi north area, but rather south towards Mopani, Tsendze, Letaba areas :-? Although I recently checked some pics out on someones camera that made me want to go back that side O**

Brace yourself Flutters...

Just to prove that we have cats in the north, Mopani area. \O They always come together (pun intended), making for a double sighting... O**

First up, the most common cat in the area, two of them, Panthera leo, keeping the northern specie going...

Image

Next ladies, gentlemen and Flutters, -O Acinonyx jubatus, again two of them...

Image

Followed by Panthera pardus, once again two of them...

Image

And wait for it,...there's more...

Leo and Pardus on the same stretch of road. \O The Lion is a bit small in the image, but close enough for both animals to be very cautious of each other. ;-)

Image

Not too bad for a catless north I would say. O**


BTW, at all of the above sightings I was in the only car in the area. X#X
