Kitty Kabana room is now open for business! The mop boards went up yesterday. Then we got all the shelves/cat walks in place. Next came the decorations, table and chairs and cushies! We love it. But, most importantly, the cats and kittens love it! For the Grand Showing last night, we opened the window that goes into this room, opened the door and the little kitten door. In they came--one by one, sometimes two by two! It was fun and they had a blast! Lots of investigating going on. Then we closed it down for the night and opened it again (for good) this morning, after breakfast. The cats love it. Right now, it's getting to be daybreak and the cats are able to see outside. I counted 5 on the window ledge looking out! We can also put our webcam out there for our viewers to see the action! Thanks for making this possible for FFRC.

Solee is laying in a basket with Bev snuggled right next to her--that's nice to see. Derecho and Weber are such good friends--they love to tussel together. Bella is napping in the middle of the big poof bed--almost swollowed up by it! I do believe she's smiling. Weeja and Sequoia are really wrestling, with Static on the side, jumping in for good measure now and then. Lots of action--makes for a great day! 

Dove loves her cushies!
