They were born on the 7.7.7...Look at them !!! sooo beautiful...one totally white, one totally black and a striped one...
I am so proud of Mischu... she came to me while I was around the fireplace to show me she was not pregnant anymore... then I asked where she delivered them and she started to walk as if she was saying "Come and look!" I was so excited !!!
she chose such a cool place to have her kittens, a very undercover little cave...
A nice, cozy, highly protected cave behind this rock... she even covered it with straw to be more unnoticed... I loved it !!!
I gave a name to the white one, Pula , that's what Angolans call white people...
The others I will ask a special friend to name them, my little sister Heather Borden who is now living in Tanzania with her parents.
I'd like you to ask Heather to name the black one, and I'd like to know the Maassai word for "Tiger", as maybe that would be a nice name for the striped one...

Ok, Baba, I will tell Heather you have a job for her. So it is the black one you want her to name? She will enjoy that "work".
As for the Maasai word for tiger, "Sambu" is the name they give to anything with stripes. I think for Portuguese it would be spelled Sambo but you would say your "o" like we say the long "u" sound and the real spelling is Sambu. They would not really have a word for tiger since there are no tigers here, but Sambu is the name of choice for anything striped!
By the way, para bem on the birth of the kitties! So sweet that Mama Cat showed you where they were :-)
OK, Heather likes the name "Duma" which means Cheetah in Swahili :-)
