Lily and Bobby - St. Valentine special

This is a true story. The story of Lily, our cat (that casually is also the protagonist of Two Red Cats ), that is best friend with Bobby, a maremma sheepdog.
A week ago, we thought that we lost Lily! She wasn't in her kennel, she wasn't with Stelvio or with her lover Adone! Where she was? We searched for her everywhere, even in the graveyard (yes, we're near the graveyard...) but in the end she was with the neighbour's dog, Bobby, her favorite animal in the entire world!

We thought that telling this story in the day of St. Valentine could be a good idea!

32 - Olives time!

ENG
 

 In the period of the olive harvest, in Calabria, it is custom to cover the ground with a lot of nets, usually of color green or red, with which the workers will collect the olives (dropped from ancient trees) when they're mature.
Even in the piece of land where Lily lives, the same thing happened, and she enjoys a lot to get under the nets and crawl! She also has become friend with the workers, that little sly cat!


ITA

Nel periodo della raccolta delle olive, in Calabria c'è l'usanza di ricoprire il terreno con fitte reti, generalmente di colore verde o rosso, con cui si raccoglieranno le olive (cadute da alberi secolari) mature.
Anche nel pezzo di terra dove vive Lily è accaduta la stessa cosa, e lei si diverte un mondo a infilarsi sotto le reti e strisciare! Inoltre ha fatto amicizia con gli operai, quella furbetta!

 BONUS: Gatti e reti/Cats and nets! 

 ...and a lamb!

31 - The tame cat

 ENG

 Immediately after the death of Vitali, which of the two cats was the most gentle and tame, Lily has suddenly become cuddly. Too bad that in the beginning was not very good in the matter of cuddles and kneaded on our legs with unsheathed claws!

ITA 

Subito dopo la morte di Vitali, che dei due gatti era il più dolce e mansueto, Lily è diventata improvvisamente coccolona. Peccato che all'inizio non fosse molto brava nella materia coccole e facesse la pasta sulle nostre gambe con gli artigli sguainati!

30 - The mesmerizing paws

ENG

 When Lily is picked her up and held by the scruff of the neck, she completely relaxes and begins to move his paws in slow circles in the air, as if she were kneading. We call this " the mesmerizing paws"

ITA

Quando Lily viene presa in braccio e tenuta dalla collottola, si rilassa completamente e inizia a muovere le zampe in lenti cerchi nell'aria, come se facesse la pasta. Noi le chiamiamo "le zampine mesmerizzanti"

 EXTRA: a video demonstration of the mesmerizing paws!

29 - The return of Angelface

ENG

When Vitali died, Lily did not see him, because his brother was in a veterinary clinic, but for some reason, on the day of death Vitali, she stopped eating and cleaning herself. We thought he had some disease, but apart from these two there were no other symptoms and the cat showed the singular behavior of cuddle with us continually, looking for our warmth.
Only after two days of fasting, Lily has started to feed.
We did our research and... you know that cats can also suffer a lot for the dead of their friends? Lily was harrowed. She was mourning Vitali.

ITA

Quando Vitali è morto, Lily non l'ha visto, perchè suo fratello si trovava in un ambulatorio veterinario, ma per qualche motivo, il giorno stesso della morte di Vitali, lei ha smesso di mangiare e di lavarsi. Credevamo che avesse qualche malattia, ma a parte questi due non c'erano altri sintomi e la gatta mostrava il singolare comportamento di coccolarsi con noi continuamente, cercando il nostro calore.
Solo dopo due giorni di digiuno, Lily ha ricominciato a nutrirsi.
Abbiamo fatto le nostre ricerche e... sapevate che anche i gatti possono soffrire molto per un lutto? Lily ne era straziata.
