After an arduous and long flight from Melbourne, our cat Pumpkin has arrived in the Netherlands. We drove from Noorbeek to Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport to collect him. He looked a little spooked, but instantly recognised us. On the return drive to Noorbeek, he was uncharacteristically quiet. We’ll have to keep him inside for a few days to let him acclimatise and then we’ll slowly introduce him to his new neighbourhood.
