Cat went Mad

Well, I am feeling a useless parent now. When we headed for Canada, we left our cats here in Taiwan to give us more latitude to move around and get jobs and find places to stay. Now that we are finally set up, we have returned to Taiwan to collect them, we have run into a little problem. Oreo, our big black and white street cats, hand raised from 2 weeks old, has gone completely mad. Not only would he not let me pick him up (weird, he used to be the worlds most affectionate cat) but he is biting and scratching like a possessed leopard. I am sporting wounds on both my hands from futile attempts to box him to take him to the government inspection office. We will try again today, to see if we can get him back to Taipei, and out of the tiny little apartment where he has been residing.

Butter, our other little feline, has always been as nervous as a crack addict, and is even more so now. Fortunately she has not been attempting to maim or kill, so should travel with a little more ease. I'm off now to tackle this crisis, lets hope for a better result than yesterday.
