We had TWO adoptions this morning! Yes, this morning already. I have a friend, Pat that lives across the river from me. She lost her cat (due to old age) about 1/2 year ago. It's taken her a while, but she is now ready to have a cat family. I talked to her a couple days ago when she called. I use to work with her at a vet office and I love how she loves her cats. She has medical background experience and told me she was willing to help me with any special needs cats. I told her we need help with Liberty. She cannot have can food and there's too easy access of the food here for her at FFRC. So, here was her thought though--she wanted to adopt TWO cats, not one. The second cat was my choice--just pick one that would be fun and is a good friend to Liberty. That would be Gib. Pat came over this morning, collected her new kitties and has already texted me that both are settling in. She has the meds for Liberty, will feed can food to Gib in private and will keep me posted in regards to both of the cats, but especially of Liberty.

Thanks to some creative writings by webcam viewers and our Cantoncat friend, we have been provided with some wonderful stories that Janet and I are reading after boxes this week to our webcam friends. Come join the fun. We will continue this thru Christmas Eve.
Dove's foot looks awesome! We're finally seeing the end of her treatment for her horrible leg-trap wounds. What a blessing. She is also coming out of her shell and sticking around to watch us and catch what is happening with the kitties! Pania too, is playing more and more each day. What a joy to see this. Derecho was in the house last night. Oh, did he enjoy himself. He's such a happy cat. He made me laugh when he put his paw on Einstein's long tail. Einie gave him a poke with his beak--didn't bother Derecho--he just stared at him!
Gent is a paw-boy. He loves to lay his paw on a hand--oh, so gentle. Last night was the last night that Pushkins and Pushkiss has to spend their night time sleeping hours in June's Room--they're free to cruise about at night now! We also will start leaving the door to Dove's pen open 24/7 now. Engelina just took off after Willard--those two can run ever so fast. Engelina barely puts her weight on that crooked front leg of hers when she runs, but she goes so fast, it's hard to tell.
Joe-Bob is doing great--he's feeling just fine now. Just an occasional sneeze. Considering the condition he arrived in, he's made great strides. He's another happy boy--he has purring down to an art! Little Keena and Basil are also two fast-winged kittens. Where one is, usually the other is right behind, doing the great chase and find game.
The very handsome new Porchie--Whiskers. He says, Merry Christmas!
