Actually it was about 8 days. She left our apartment this morning and I actually shed a little tear. Why did we babysit a cat for a week? Well, her owner, yet another South African colleague of mine, had to return to his native country to bring his son back to Saudi. So, we volunteered to look after Justine as I love cats. At first she was (of course) a little wary of her new surroundings, but it didn't take long for her to get used to us. I am missing her already......
