The cat was a perfect choice. Avashalom and Pam are still building their cattery. They have surrounded their house and patio with a small opening wire fence and have put a roof over the top. The cats have lots of running and climbing room. A separate outside work area has been designated as a kittening room.
Food is another issue in Israel.
United States made premium cat foods are available, but very expensive. About 3-4 times the cost here in the states. The in country produced cat food is less than adequate for the modern show cat. Although much of our time was spent evaluating the resources of the kibbutz for program development, and doing demonstrations, we did get to see almost all of the country. We spent 2 different days in Tel Aviv, went to the Old City of Jaffa, Tiberas, Safat, Nazareth, Haifa, Hadera, Mesada, the Golan Heights, and of course Jerusalem.
