Lady Ayeka (badger blaze markings her entire life) is
6 years, 3 months old. So far so good... but she
certainly has had health issues at times. I should
point out that Ayeka has normal hearing.

Chin Soon, our latest rescue, is one year old and has
panda markings. Hopefully she, like Ayeka, will have
a normal or long lifespan.

Anyway, I never wrote you because Ayeka is still alive
and now, post surgery, seems to be doing incredibly
well.

All the best,
Caity and the fearsome foursome
