Everyones likes an Ice Cream + New Toys for the cats + Roof on Jaguar enclosure

21st April 2011

With the heat wave continuing we noticed the cats eyeing up all the ice creams that were going past their enclosures. A special treat came their way today as they got the luxury of being fed an ice cream. It was most enjoyed once it had warmed up a little and wasn't so cold on their noses. With their very abrasive tongues it left some very interesting marks on the ice cream as it was licked away.

In the meantime, the cat keepers have been scouting out new and exciting things for the cats to do. Keeper Ben visited a farm recently to see if we could increase and diversify our tyre collection for the cats to pull, push and basically destroy all in the name of fun. We got the tyres delivered recently and included were 2 very large tyres. We're not too sure what we're going to do with these yet but I personally am really looking forward to seeing Casper go one on one with one of these! Pictured below is keeper Ben who is approximately 6'3" to give an idea of size:



We also have a new special toy coming in all the way from America for Diamond and Aysha that should be great to see in action. Watch this space to stay updated.

Over the past couple of days the roof has been fitted onto the top of the jaguar enclosure and things are starting to look like their coming together to give a idea of what the new enclosure will fundamentally look like:
