anna_wingA pair of red-whiskered bulbuls is now nesting in the garden! They are distinctly more intelligent than their yellow-vented cousins, so their nest is at least in the middle of a thick shrub, not immediately visible to any passerby, and much harder for one of the Beastie Boys to simply hop up and eat them. The gardeners have been instructed not to clip the shrub for now, and Housekeeper is shooing away hungry koels eyeing the eggs. Red-whiskered bulbuls have a a nice song too. Not as virtuousic as the Oriental Magpie-Robin's, but still a sweet multi-note whistle.
Lap-cat's and Bus-stop Cat's over-licking problem appears to be improving. They are uncomplaining about daily dusting with anti-fungal powder, and seem to have no problem with being brushed. They also seem happy to eat the multi-vitamin pills and salmon oil as part of their regular meals, and their fur looks as if it is growing back. Lap-cat is even gaining a bit of weight, as he is less distracted from food by the itching, which is good. Scaredy-Cat's problem is asthma, which is unfortunately incurable, but so far seems manageable. They are now eight years old, about to be Senior Cats.
