The Assassin

Family and friends, meet Jasmine/Kitty/Lucy/Pussy the newest member of our family. For those of you who haven't heard about our year long battle with the rabbits, here is the quick run down. There are hundreds (I am not exaggerating at all) wild/feral rabbits roaming the streets of our neighbourhood. Not ideal in our beachside location. The local council had done little to help. The rabbits are slowly destroying our garden.


After a year long battle, including half eaten plants, dead lawn, destroyed cucumbers and many a funny time chasing rabbits (they are seriously quick little buggers) around the yard with little to no success, we've decided to fight nature with nature. We've employed an assassin. Well really, she is a fully grown kitty that we have adopted from a family moving to the US. She has made a great addition to our family. The kids love having a pet, she is an outside cat and pretty much keeps to herself coming around for a good pet every night after dinner. The best news of all...we've had the assassin for a week and we haven't seen a rabbit in the yard once since she's arrived. Success! -kel
