Yesterday, Dion was here to work in the two new rooms. He was able to get two coats on the entire ceiling and the walls of the furnace room! Today he is here and has already unloaded 40 panels of the vinyl wall panels. So exciting--progress is being made.
Doce is coming back today. His little bum is having trouble again. He's went 2 weeks with no trouble at all, but 2-3 days ago started up with his bottom/potty woes. We'll get him back on the laser treatment and have him checked tomorrow by Dr. Darcy.
Our 6 little kittens are out more and more. They are so small though, but they're strong and sturdy and absolutely loves to play! Both of Kitty Q's kittens--Ginger and Pumpkin--are starting to toddle about more. Today they actually ate a little from the plate! Catsparella still keeps her kittens in their nest.
EB is a toughie--he can keep up with the older kittens and he loves to play with them. I saw him yesterday looking and looking at Jemison's tail. He rushed out, batted her tail, then dodged back under the flower! Not so brave, but oh so cute.
Uncle Eric to the rescue....again! We had quite a day with the mama torti cat. She decided that all cats were out to get her babies and turned into a very upset mama. Now, I know this is natural and a wonderful protective thing for the kittens. But, she is a danger to the other cats and in a way, to humans. She zipped out of her pen and the room several times yesterday and tore into any cat that was in the office. A person got in the middle of it and got scratched. Human and cat safety is big to me, so after much thought, I called Uncle Eric and he said he could help again. He's our "go to guy" when we have these difficult cases. He lives not far from here and can devote many hours to the care of whatever we send to him. He has an awesome set up (and a fabulous wrap around enclosed porch) that he can use for our cats. I would like to have had her stay one more week with the kittens but the chance of someone or a cat getting hurt was very high. So, she is safe and doing fine and her kittens will be taken care of here. We have been asked, why not send her kittens with her. The answer is simple--her hissing, restless ways were starting to be passed to the kittens. We don't want that. Now they will be able to grow up to be cuddle-cats.
Gallants burn is almost done healing! He is still getting his laser treatments. Zelda had a course of laser treatments and I have not seen her limp for about a week! Asha is so funny when Judy S comes--she runs to her and asks to be groomed. Dovie girl has been sharing her cushie bed with the kittens. Cozarelli is sound asleep on top of a stack of pillows--about 2 feet high. He got up there by himself!
Tomorrow is surgery day. It will be a very busy morning and early afternoon. We'll keep you posted as the day goes on.
Happy Catsparella mama and happy kittens.
