Minty mittens

This is Mittens (also known as Minty), our cat who will be soon going on an international, inter-continental flight. She gets to fly direct, us humans must fly via London (for some reason Europeans go to Cape Town in the winter - I still haven't figured out that one. June, July and August are the worst months to go so south....) because direct was miles more expensive for us.

ps: the blue in the background is of an old shwe shwe quilt from africancotton. It is made from Nelson Mandela skirt panels.
