Zawaadi

When Mustafa brought Zawaadi home, in Kileleshwa, September 2015, we did not know that she was pregnant. She was so active and loving.

with Chaapo

In October she started behaving oddly. She dug up small trenches in the fence and would hide under the plants. One rainy night I heard low moans and yelps. She had given birth to five tiny pups. Carrying them one by one in her mouth she brought them to her kennel.

close watch

All the puppies fed on her but one by one she shunned feeding them. We tried feeding them ourselves but in a week four died to our dismay. Only one survived and that was Chaapo.

Chaapo loved to be hugged

Zawaadi wanted to sit in the lap too.

He explored the rooms but he was not welcome there as he would pee anywhere.

Posing for the camera...sweet Chaapo

He was a curious bundle of joy.

Biggy got a bit jealous sometimes but otherwise he was fiendly with Zawaadi and protective towards Chaapo.

Chaapo grew so fast, soon he was looking as big as the mom.

Copying the mom.

Waiting for the feed

Such a darling!

playing together

Chaapo would do exactly what Zawaadi did...even the scratching!!!

Mom and baby

The cat would jump onto a safe distance when Zawaadi and Chaapo yelped at her!

Looking after baby!

In september 2016 we came to live in Nairobi West

we are friends!

our dear pets also had to get used to the new environment.

Even the birds can share our food!

Checking out the place thoroughly!

They never liked cats. This cat was so frightened of the dogs that he climbed the tree in the compound to a top most branch and stayed there for two days. We had to call the K.S.P.C.A. personnel to come and rescue the poor scary cat.
