Some of the kitties living outside of mama’s friend’s villa in Italy, having their aperitivo!

Well, one of mama’s friends (who also serves daily lunch and dinner to those lucky kitties above in the photo) has rescued another little kitty, named Phoebe, from Pescara del Tronto, a little town near Amatrice, because after the earthquake there were many animals left alone with no families. And another friend of mama’s sent out a plea for those who could adopt animals from Amatrice and environs and that’s how little Phoebe found a new mama and papa.

I love her name, Phoebe. Mama’s friend is good at names.  She has had a Brough and a Sybil.  Phoebe has a little eye problem but it is healing, and she has the LONGEST whiskers this kitty has ever seen.  I thought MINE were long, but whoa…these are fantastic feelers on her tiny little muzzle.

OOPS, Mama’s friend just wrote to say there was another shake-up of over 4 on the Richter Scale a couple of days ago near their village.  Let’s hope the earth stops trembling around there now that Phoebe has found a safe haven.

And thanks/grazie/merci to all of those who took in animals after the terrible quake.

I’d like to meet little Phoebe one day.  I think I will…
