Here's the good news for the day--Dove's foot is improving! The swelling continues to go down and the redness is now just pink. We also took out the last of the sutures. We're on our way to recovery! Pania is becoming a bit braver. She now also likes to wander around in the Kitty Campus Room. And she's playing!
As you know, the cats and kittens have had that sneezy virus here. That too is now very minimal. The cats and kittens are eating good, playing lots and doing much better. Cutie is still down a bit. We're syringe feeding her--we want to make sure she's getting enough calories and fluids.
The weather has still been decent for the Covies. They were out for a run-about on the farmyard on Tuesday. Today, they will get another day out, to stretch their legs and to play. Either later today or tomorrow we will be moving them to Kitty City. It's time. Sounds like cold rain this weekend.

Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmass tree---yes, our upside down tree went up yesterday! It's absolutely beautiful. It came from an anonymous friend! The lights are already on it and it's hanging in the main area. Today we will put the ceramic ornaments on it. We wanted to make sure the cats wouldn't be able to get in the tree before putting the ornaments on it! The ornaments were sent by Phil and have pictures of FFRC cats on them.
All is well here. The cats and kittens are happy, are warm and toasty, and bellies full! Lots of TLC given freely. What a life!
The first sprinkling of snow!
Badu and friends.
