Creatures in the garden: the rabid cat

 
One of the uninvited creatures in the garden. This one thought to have rabies due to very temperamental personality, hissing and teeth baring on sight of humans. Nicknamed 'rabies'. Initially lived mostly in the covered drain with its 3 kittens, now decides to live in our garden. Suns itself on the garden bench, sleeps right outside the front door and poos everywhere. Theory for wild, aggressive behaviour: trauma due to being constantly chased by neighborhood kids. Very difficult to photograph, these are all with max zoom. Vicious eyes.

Fruit trees

The ciku tree, no fruits yet

Jambu air fighting for space with papaya. The survivor papaya was not planted, it just grew

Mango tree, came with the house. All of the first fruits split and dropped. Waiting for more fruits

Mangosteen tree died probably due to overzealous fertilizing. Replacement not found yet
