We still are smiling about our new floor and am so grateful that we're all moved back in. Our gratitude is high for your support! Little Tweeny hurt her little front leg. She's on meds to help her feel better and on cage-rest. She is so beautiful. She is napping alot in the hammock--really enjoys that. If her leg is not significantly better, she'll be making the vet trip tomorrow for an x-ray. I've talked to the vet and this is their recommendation.
I need to pass on the news about our sweet Sesame. As you probably know, he picked up a virus this past week. I couldn't figure out why he wasn't kicking this--he simply was not getting better. Last night, I listened to his heart and it was very apparent that he had some heart problems. So...this morning I called the vet to get him in for an appointment and heart work up. We had an appointment made, but our dear boy passed away before we could get him there. So sad. He went very quickly and was held by those of us who loved him, being rocked in our rocker chair.
As I've said before, death is a part of life. We here at the rescue center experience this too often but we are always privileged to be a part of their passing. Sesame was not here with us very long, but he sure was loved. And, he knew it. We hugged, smooched and held him alot. Thank you for sharing our love with him.
We had an adoption yesterday. Pocus went to his new home with Mary and Ron. She's an awesome cat going into an awesome home!
We had lots of BOXES, PACKAGES and ENVELOPES last night. Such a big variety of things and so very gratefully received.

Most of the cats that received a card were held up to the cam for all to see. Bella especially loved her card and laid with it quite a while! We have each and every card taped to our Wall of Cards! A big thanks to Carrie for organizing this fun event!
If ever, I make an error or neglect to list a gift, please don't hesitate to e-mail me with a correction. I would appreciate it.
The cats have been climbing, running and generally have visited every speck of the rescue center this past day! They love the tent that was received at Christmas. We just put it together and it's a big hit! Preakness has discovered all the bird feeders at the windows--she spends much time checking the birds out. Grominique has become such a loverbug--such a joy! Badu has let me groom her magnificent bib of fur.
