I am pretty much a traditionalist who likes tents in natural/earth colors but this one is a total beauty. How cute !

Hankapanka - yes we can get some few of the Vango tents, but I am not sure about the other one. Of course it's mostly Outwell here in Denmark, and Wecamp (not so good quality).

Mucker1884 - I give a little hint: The other cat is cream coloured and tiny... And the ears at the corner are part of the mudflap...

I see a tiny head... by the inner tent. Could that be the mysterious moggie?

Enjoy your red wine slumbers

He isn't quite so tiny - but with his ability to fold down those enormous bat ears he makes his head looking really small...

Cats and tents = impending disaster,if left unattended.

Victoria1, here he is: Harald the mischievous kitten! Must have a bat amongst his anchestors...



Spinyeel, I know from experience - my Montana 6 had a patch on the SIG forever reminding me of Khabeesa the cat's visit in the tent...

He is gorgeous! I love his big ears, and the colour of his eyes - very hypnotic!

I can never get to grips with mud flaps that go 'out' instead of inside the tent and you have to peg out inside the tent. Lovely colour tent though. What happened to your tiny garden. Have you moved house?

bluenosewidow, the mud flaps actually go inside the tent (which I prefer), they are just not folded "in" because the tent wall seems to be at bit short. I have thought about sewing/glueing some more plastic fabric to the mud flaps to make them broader.

I moved house a year ago, I still have a tiny garden, but it has no lawn, so I use the big lawn in our estate. Always exciting for the kids from the neighbourhood!
