The Stork Delivers!

What a pleasant surprise!

Mama picked up her mails that came while she was away. And, among others, is a large envelope from Purina. Inside - a box of Royale Fancy Feast. Nine cans in total plus a magnetic frame that Mama says she'll stick on the fridge door. Thank you Justine! (she's the generous lady from Purina who sent the package)

What triggered this gift? A few months ago Mama complained to Purina that she couldn't find stock of this particular brand at either Coles or Woolies. It was the pouches that she was looking for. Not for me though. For Tom and his family. They simply love this gourmet cat food. Usually Mama or Dad would carry a suitcase full of the stuff for Tom. It's not as if they're not sold in shops back in the old country. It's just that they would cost a bomb. Even though the Aussie dollar is stronger, it's still cheaper to buy them here.

Brad and I only get a taste when there are extra boxes that wouldn't fit into the overweight bags. Oh well, something's better than nothing. As for this particular box, for sure we'll get a taste coz Mama has just returned from visiting Tom and family. Can't wait for breakfast time....

"Mama, may I have one for supper?" I pleaded.

"No, Angelina," came Mama's stern answer. "You and Brad were overfed when you were staying with Aunty If. Now back to normal routine, OK?"

Well, at least she doesn't insist that we fast during daytime like her. Thank God for small mercies, eh? Meow!

What's in the box? 3X virgin flaked tuna, 3X tuna whitemeat supreme and 3X tuna banquet with whole prawns.
