2017 : a year in Duhok

[Piling]

Iraq (with Iranian militias), may be.

Iran and Turkey are the less probable, though Erdogan is mad enough. But if he attack KRG, YPG also will fight.

Kirkuk is the main target for Iraq. But Iraqi army is not so good and needs US and Coalition support, which won't help Abadi to invade Kurdistan.

Only someone really crazy, such as Erdogan, would even consider taking military action

However, I doubt even Erdogan is that stupid especially as Kurds in Turkey are now asking

"When can we vote for freedom"

The eyes of the world watching - not that the world did very much during all the MONTHS that Saddam was killing Kurds

Not forgetting how Turkey slaughtered Kurds trying to cross into Turkey to escape Saddam - and those same Kurds who died of hunger and thirst while the world did NOTHING

The vet from KOARP NGO asked me to shelter and feed a kitten (15 days old) for a few days. He was found with some other sibling in a garbage.

6 per day : bibber. Exhausting.

The woman who brought him gave me also a box of baby (human) milk, but I don't think it is nutritive enough. Cat milk is very rich and full of proteins. I will add cream in it, and perhaps an egg yolk.

Pirouette opened large eyes "WHERE DOES IT FROM ?" but seems indifferent. The 2 prince & princess are just afraid

UPDATE : and now Pistache is missing since 4 hours. Don't know where she wanders

[Anthea]

Have you tried putting butter on Pistache's paws that should stop her wandering too far as she will have to keep stopping to lick her paws

Hope Pistache returns soon

I think it is lovely how you help all the animals

[Anthea]

Did Pistache come home alright?

[Piling]

She was killed on the road, by a car or a bus. I saw her body yesterday, when I looked around.

Poor kitten. I HATE cars. They are cats' killers.

But at least she did not suffer : her head was hit and crushed, she died instantly.

Now Papillon has no sister with to play

In the same time, yesterday he disappeared again one day and one night and came back at home this morning with Pirouette at 5 am. That's the problem with cats. Unlike dogs, if they don't live in an appartement, they are free and then have a dangerous life.

Such a shame poor little Pistache you must be very upset

Her brother must devastated because they always played together

I will stick to dogs as they seldom wander far from me and a big bag of treats when we go out

All that Abadi did to punish expatriates in Kurdistan :

I do not think Iraq can do anything against the Kurds and that they should declare INDEPENDENCE as soon as possible

Wake up at 3 am by the little hungry orphan.

Get up at 5.30 am to pick up Papillon in the garden, for I locked him all morning until the end of the classes, in the aim to protect him from killer-buses.

I live in a Kittengarten. exhausting.

Is Papillon getting on better with the new kitten?

Perhaps you will keep if

Or is Pirouette becoming fat again

[Piling]

Pirouette and Papillon disdain him and keep their distance. Papillon is sometimes tempted to play with but he hisses and plays outside.

I said to the vet that it would be better if I keep him until he can eat solid food and be ready for adoption. He was upset enough during the 2 weeks of his short life. Now he is used to me and is less stressed.

[Anthea]

Perhaps you could remain where you are and work with the vet

Is he married?

[Piling]

Yes he is married and I am not in search of a husband, just a boss

[Anthea]

Suggest you think of something exciting you can do and be your own boss
