12 ) Molly's home!

After a trip of 8000+ miles, 30 days in an open-air quarantine and many treatments for her non-existent parasites, Molly finally arrived at the Coolangatta Airport! Nancy went by bus as Dirk was in class, but Dirk drove down to to chauffeur everyone home. Upon arriving home Molly spent a tentative 5 min under the bed but had explored the entire place, (including the "loft storage area" which we need a ladder to get to!) by the end the night.



Molly's enjoying the view from all the floor to ceiling windows that are at eye level with the tree canopy, and watches the birds fly to and fro. She wore herself out in a frenzy of exploring and challenging the miner birds right on the other side of the glass. The cockatoo that landed on the deck railing was larger than her, and both she and the black and white butcher birds made lunges toward each other[Note from Dirk - I would bet on the birds - those are WICKED bills on those things!]. Luckily, she won't be going outside and communing with all the parasites, so she won't be able to get to the birds, and they won't be able to get to her!





She is enjoying her Aussie catnip and is definitely of the opinion that we don't NEED any furniture - she has a bed to sleep on, a food dish, a water feature to drink out of, a cardboard box to hide behind, a huge wood floor to chase a passle of toys across! Cat heaven!!!!!
