The Rescue Mission

As you might have heard - Sassy, Momo, Opus and Roscoe were kidnapped by a tribe of Masai, and taken to Tanzania, where it looked like they were ready to be served for dinner.... All a BIG misunderstanding, as it turned out!
From watching old cheesy Hollywood movies the tribe was under the impression that the polite way to greet non-Africans was to put them in a pot of water over a slow cooking fire for a while.
Sassy explained it to them and by the time we arrived for the rescue they were already out of the pot.
Just in case we had brought along a lot of food as a trade-in for our friends.

The tribe was very happy about the additional 'snacks' and they added them to the table they were getting ready for us and we all had a wonderful meal together.

Afterward the Masai entertained us with some typical dancing and Roscoe immediately joined in!
And did pretty good we thought!

It was another fun day in Africa!
