McLovin' is also here, on the other side, playing with the turbo ball track. You'd think he has 5 legs, as fast as he is. Then there is a kitty-gang of play going on by the door. There's Gib, Obadiah, Dolan and Tweets--all play fighting over a leaf that someone must've brought in yesterday from the outside enclosure. Asha is watching them like she thinks they've lost their brains! I love it when Cyrilla is interested in something--her ears go forward and her whiskers almost meet in front of her nose.
Derecho is sound asleep (and being still) sunk into the bottom of the cat's doughnut bed--he looks so comfortable. He and Graciela are very good friends. Putter and Magenta spent the night in Kitty Kastle with Emmalee and Cheryl. It's such a good experience for these cats to be able to do this. Good for the cats, good for the people.
We have names for Fiver's mama and siblings. This litter is going to be known as the Fiver sibs. I think that would be nice. Mama (dilute calico) is Betony. Female, all grey is Efrafa. Male, grey/brown is Avens. Male, grey/white feet is Frith. Male, all light beige is Campion. Male, beige/white is Butterbur. Betony and kittens are all long hair. So sweet, very playful. While Fiver was named Fiver in recognition of our wonderful Friday Fiver and for a Name that Cat, this family is named after the book Watership Down which had a Fiver as a character in the book. So, now, they have names!
One of our moderators, Bubbles has been very sick and in the hospital. If you'd like to send a get well card to her, please send it to the Rescue Center, with Bubbles written on the outside of the envelope. Next week I will pack them up and send them to her. Thanks!
FYI--we have moderators for our webcam and for our FFRC facebook chatters page. Their "job" is not an easy one. They try to balance thousands of people and keep everyone happy. Please give them a nod of thanks and encouragement! These people help me keep my sanity! I also depend on them to help try and keep the cam chat and the fb page peaceful. They're wonderful people who give their time and dedication to FFRC.
Sometimes I wonder why it takes me so long at my desk. I really do know the answer to that. For every 4 words I type, usually 2 have to be fixed. You see, the desk is the hot spot playground while I'm trying to accomplish some work. Right now, Emaline, Zelda, Cypress, Ginseng and Frogger are playing tag on the desk with my paper piles and my fingers. Oh, what difficult working conditions I must endure! Would I change it? Nope, not a thing!
