We knew it was going to happen soon and it did. Catsparella's kittens have spilled out of their nest! These tiny little babies are toddling about on the floor now. So very sweet to watch them. She's such a wonderful mama. She's also quite thin as she's producing a lot of milk. We are feeding her very often and she's a good eater. Little Meg was even was at the door crying. We told her no way was she coming out yet--way way too small.
Our sweet Joline has figured out something she really likes. Sarah had a big stack of cushies piled up this morning and Joline spied them. Up she went and plopped down in the middle of the top one! So comfortable and so cuddly for her. When she looks at you, it seems like she's all eyes--they're huge!
I talked to Wanda, the portrait maker yesterday. She is donating an original portrait of Putter and one of Zsa Zsa for the Catathon. They are both awesome. We're talking about the possibility of doing copies of Zsa Zsa for later! What a gift Wanda has. Her website is: portraitsbywanda.com

I would like to say a special thank you for your support of the Feliz Navidad Medical Fund. She is the reason for this special fund that we have set up. She triumphed over a major medical problem when she first arrived. Feliz's life wasn't that long (only 3 1/2 years) but she loved her life and enjoyed being loved on. Thank you for helping with this fund--it gives us financial resource to help cover some of our "over and above" medical costs on the rescue cats.
Tonight! Yes, it's tonight--the next auction! We have 7 absolutely awesome drawer/beds to be bid on. I want to say something first though. We have not sent out the last batch of beds YET. But they will go out very soon. We had to order special legs for them and they just arrived. After their paint job is done, they'll be taken to be sent out right away. They are coming! Now, for this weeks auction--there are 7 drawer/beds and they are pretty fancy! We'll be showing them today, but you can go to the Chatters FB page and view them. Bids start promptly at 6:00 tonight and will end at 6:00 pm tomorrow night. To place a bid, all you need to do is click on the picture or the comment icon below the picture. Keep it simple--enter the letter of your choice, the amount of the bid and then your chatter name--that's all! Joni R made the drawer/beds for this week's auction.
Tomorrow! Yes, it's tomorrow--our next Day Sale! We have some really fun things to show you! It will start at 11:00 am (FFRC time). Come join the fun--right there on the cam! We also have lots of leggydews and catnip pads.
The 6 Dodger's Pen kittens are running about. That little Remison, Jemison and Bix are so so small yet, but their energy level is strong. Ginger and Pumpkin are now playing all over in June's Room--they have a few kitty climbing toys and they love to show off their skills. Little Ernie/EB and BlackJack sure look alot alike. Both are so sweet.
Joline--she's already beautiful, but can you imagine when she's all filled back out? Stunning!
