Hi there and
Wynand. I'm sorry we've taken so long to welcome you, as you can see we're a busy forum and it looks like your post slid down the list
Let me welcome you to our forum and to say we'd love to see some photos of your cats. Many of us have lost our loved ones and yes like yours, our cats are very much a part of our family and the extended family on Purrs.
As a fellow South African I can say that I love your part of the country so would love to hear more about how you got your cats.
