Joyful has let three different people pick her up this morning and hold her. We hold her for very short sessions, but it's definitely a plus! I also planted three kisses on her before she wanted down. Maybe we'll be trying her again soon in the main area of the rescue center.Slow and easy is the name of the Joyful Game. That little Static is a fun boy--it seems like there's three of him. He's everywhere! He also enjoys eating my papers on the desk. He's chewed up bits and pieces of 3 of them already today.

Yesterday, we did another webcam tour for a class in Indiana. This one was extra special, as it was for my granddaughter Kerstyn's class. I always enjoy these tours. Thank you for the respect that all viewers showed. I appreciate it. Please always know that we have children on our kittycam at any given time. We always want to think about what we say and what we type, as our words are seen and heard thru the ears and eyes of children.

Joni and Beth, two of our visitors this week, are now both gone. Both have been here before and are thoroughly enjoyed here at FFRC. Both also helped us with the painting that we're doing in the Cat's Corner Room. The shelves were in big need of being painted. Since this is our kitten room, we decided to paint it blue and pink. The shelves will be those two colors, as will be the door/window trim and the design around our Angel Ladder painting. All is well here. Have a wonderful weekend! Please remember to vote--each and every vote is important! Thank you.
