Our 2 newly adopted cats, Betony and Butter Bur made it safely to New York. Today, I'm sure, will be a great day of exploring. Their new mama, Linda, said she would post pictures on facebook soon for all to see. Our two new kittens Christopher and Dave are coming along. Christopher is still so very very thin, but is starting to fill out slowly. Dave started playing yesterday--a good thing to see! Tenzin's surgical site is healing nicely. He's been a bit shy, so we will work on that with him. Won't be long until the door to June's Room is opened for those 3 kittens (Goss, Chambo & Pants) to come out and play.
Yesterday, we did some rearranging here in the rescue center. Patience's Pen was moved out. This was one of my first pens, bought many many years ago. It was originally designed for 4 babies to sleep in it. When laws changed, the church could no longer use it as such. It's been a great pen, but because of the way the doors work, we were always in danger of pinching legs and feet. This has been a worry for a long time. So, Patience Pen will retire. Pens #1,2,3,4 (a 2 condo set) was moved into it's place and another condo was retrieved out of storage and put where the other pens had been. I think this will work nicely and we won't have to worry about hurting any kitty legs. One of these new pens will have the honorary name of Patience's Pen.

The cats are higher than kites today.They got some special catnip this morning and wow--they turned into real crazy cats! There are 14 of them here in the office with me, still acting goofy. Makes for lots of smiles! Weber is playing with the new Kickaroo--and that's exactly what he is doing--kicking it furiously! Faleena and Buckeye are having a tussling match--it's been going on for over 5 minutes. Graciela, for once, is napping!
Betz is once again sleeping on my desk. Penn and Teller were stalking Liberty and Roadinia--but those kittens turned and got the best of the Peller boys! Was great to see. Cyrilla is up on my shoulder! She tends to be a shy girl, but really does have a loving side to her.
Bill and Angie all dressed for Catstock!
