Flying fur

I am prompted to remark upon our feline comapions. Yes, they are coming with us (we hope they like Canadian cat food), and in their own way they are subtly influencing things. For example, the plan at the moment is to rent as soon as we arrive, and look to buy as soon after that as possible. However, this does restrict the choice of rental properties, and it doesn't appear to be all that big in the first place.

They also remind me that they would rather we lived somewhere where bears are a rarity in the garden, but we can't really promise that - we've heard more than one tale of ursine visitors; enough to give the bravest moggy pause for thought.

Pause for my own thought: is 'moggy' a Canadian word? I suspect not.

We have provisionally organised transport for them - there are a lot of companies set up for just this sort of thing - but, of course, until we have a date, we can't really make anything concrete. And the cost? Ah, they're worth it, if only for the sport of seeing them try to kill a moose.
