Remember these two?

A while ago, we asked you to help us find names for our rather elusive gentlemen.

Well, we did our homework. We tried the suggestions. We called, we repeated, we waited.

Nothing.

Not a twitch of a whisker. Not so much as the courtesy of looking in our direction.

A blink!

Admittedly, not a standing ovation, but in the world of feral cats, weโ€™ll take what we can get. ๐Ÿ˜น

And hereโ€™s the interesting part: our colony cats really do learn to recognise their names. Some come when called. Some come eventually. And some clearly believe that responding is entirely optional.

As for Jack & Sparrow?

Meet Newbee.

Well, thatโ€™s what weโ€™re calling our latest arrival for now. We havenโ€™t been formally introduced, and Newbee doesnโ€™t seem particularly interested in changing that. ๐Ÿ˜ผ

Weโ€™ve been spotting this unfamiliar face more and more often around the colony. Still shy, still keeping a safe distance, but apparently beginning to feel quite at home.

Which means thereโ€™s one rather important appointment we need to arrange.

Not exactly Newbeeโ€™s idea of a warm welcome, perhaps, but an essential first step towards getting this newcomer checked by a vet and sterilised.

Until then, weโ€™ll keep watching, waiting and trying to earn a little trust.

Well, that was rather lovely!

Madame Purrsecco made her debut at Gellert Wines on Saturday, and judging by the photographs, a sparkling good time was had by all.

A beautifully laid table, delicious food, excellent company and just enough bubbly to make a Saturday morning feel like a special occasion.

And the best part? All in the name of helping Swakopmundโ€™s feral cats. Who, incidentally, have absolutely no idea how sophisticated their fundraising department has become. ๐Ÿ˜ผ

Weโ€™ve shown you the less glamorous side of Cat City before.

But even here, among the rubble and discarded odds and ends, thereโ€™s room for a little luxury.

A sunny spot. A quiet afternoon. Absolutely nothing on the agenda.

The accommodation may be questionable, the neighbours unpredictable, and room service only arrives three evenings a week.

But these two gentlemen seem entirely unbothered.

Weโ€™re looking for a few cat-friendly businesses, shops, cafรฉs, restaurants or other busy little corners around Swakopmund that would be happy to give one of our boxes a home.

Somewhere people pass by. Somewhere a few coins can quietly add up. Somewhere our approximately 180 ferals can collect a little help without having to ask quite as nicely as they usually do. ๐Ÿ˜ผ
