30 minutes before these pictures were taken this afternoon Ellie and Persil both appeared with prey - the smallest mouse and the tiniest lizard you have ever seen, and they dropped both items at my feet. I should say that the background to this is that in the very hot weather they have not seemed to want to eat so much, so I cut down the wet food in their bowls to an amount I knew they would eat. It is as if they are saying they need more, but can't really be bothered to go for anything that would take effort. Anyway, then after being praised, they both fell fast asleep - it was all just too much, Mjoumi!
