May 2010



The gorgeous caracals continue to delight all who meet them, especially cat-lovers. Right now they are very keen to come to the fence to greet passers-by, as the regular walks Cleo and Medusa enjoy so much have stopped temporarily whilst Bushman tracker Johannes is on holiday. 
  

They are particularly keen to congregate by the gate to their camp when people approach them, but when they finally realise there’s only company and no a walk, they love to rub around volunteers’ legs and if they could, they’d purr as they are stroked and admired.  The three girls are amused for a brief time with a ball, while Yoda warily looks on – or is it enviously?
  


The sight of one of them standing at their door of their night shelter, looking at all the world around them like any proud home-owner, is a special privilege.
