The cat keepers along with the cats enjoyed testing the strength of different materials today as we had our fishing rod that we use to feed our cats break again. This time it was at the base where it was thickest and where we didn't think it was as vulnerable. Obviously we were wrong. The cat that proved this for us was our youngest and one of our strongest cats Casper the White Lion. We have now had to reinforce the rod with steel piping inside the hollow carbon frame. The fishing rod feed will now be an extra workout for the keepers with this added weight!

The maintenance team had the strimmer out this morning to get on top of the vegetation growing in the enclosures at the moment. Of course cats seem to enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass as much as us humans do and sure enough as soon as our Jaguar 'Chiquita' came out she started having a good old roll around, enjoying the scent of the aroma:
