It's midday and Millie's asleep right now, but for It's midday and Millie's asleep right now, but for the last few days we've been getting up at dawn to take her for a morning perambulation along the pontoon. As ever, she is interested in the fish. This morning I tried a bit of fishing, using the chicken she's refused point blank to eat. I opened the container and put some meat on the hook. Millie took one look at the fish swarming round the bait and ate an enormous chunk of chicken straight from the container. It's a start. We've now got to figure out a way to get her to start eating again. I'm off to the supermarket now to get more chicken… Liz • • • #milliethesailingcat #catswhosail #catslife #catsonboats #catlovers #instacat #catonaboat #calicocat #calicocats #sailorcat #sailingcat #sailingcats #boatcat #boatcats #milliethecat #sailboatcat #sailboatcats #sailingday #sailingpassion #sailingtime #sailingroundtheworld #sailingaroundtheworld #sailingadventure #shipscat
