Yo-yo time! Load shedding dropped to Stage 2 at five, and a few minutes later pushed back to Stage 3. So, our power goes off 10:00 - 12:30 as well as 18:00 - 20:30 tonight.
And that after the BIG announcement yesterday, how load shedding Stages 2-3 will continue for the next two years ... the idea being, that sticking to fixed Stages will make planning easier. And government finally admits that what all energy experts have agreed on: load shedding will be permanent for at least 2 years! Of course, they did leave the back door open saying 'higher stages may be necessary at short notice' ... Which happened only a few hours after their big announcement ...
That little kitty seems to have realised that 'when I wobble towards that big, scary blob - food happens'! I found it wobbling at my front door last night! Brought it in, gave it food. Mini hissed at it. Mewthos sniffed it a bit then hissed at it. When it had eaten, I took it back outside.
This morning, I found it playing peek-a-boo in response to my voice. I gave the older family their kibbles and saw it peeking at me from the Wendy. It kept bobbing its head up to be noticed - so I went back inside, got some Royal Canin ... Mewthos insisted he deserves a share, so I gave him some - then put the bowl outside the Wendy. Both babies came and gobbled! When they had eaten, they amused me with some play time.
Ah! The TNR Lady making contact! Asking my location - which I've sent her. I've been thinking that maybe, rather than wait for help, I should start doing what I can live with. But the problem is, that I cannot take mommy away from the kittens, especially not the mommy of the babies. And if I set a trap - borrow the thing they use here at work - I can't select which cat ends up in the trap. Smeagol would be a good start ...
