We received our Petfinder report. The 12 cats that were looked at the most were: Spruce, Goodness, Zelda, County, Maui, Dahnay, Georgia, Linden, Cypress, Octavia, Buckeye, Preakness, Dove.
Tonight at 6 pm (FFRC time zone), starts the beginning of a different auction. We will be showing 6 of the really neat drawer/bed's that Joni and Angie have been working on. They are really nice. This auction ends at 6 pm sharp tomorrow night. Then at 6:30 pm tomorrow, we will stop boxes and have another LIVE afghan auction--using the beautiful red/white/blue/tan afghan. This afghan came to us all the way from Africa. It's stunning!
Odds and ends:
**Wanda is donating a beautiful portrait of Putter for the Catathon. It is absolutely wonderful. Thanks, Wanda.
**Please remember, you can post two pictures a day on the Chatter's facebook page. The reason? If we do more than that, the site gets flooded with so many pictures that it's hard to read any of the other items. Thanks!
**You know those cute emoticons? We all love to use them. But I'd sure like to ask you to limit it to one or two per posts on the cam chat. The reason is that it bogs down the bandwidth. Those fun little pictures really drag down the cam. I appreciate it!
**The 2013 cookbooks have been ordered! They will be in before the Catathon. Many thanks to Leenie for organizing and handling this fundraiser.
We had BOXES last night! What a week of being extra thankful!

Walter! What a wonderful cat he is. He has more mobility than the other CH cats. He's got a very affection side and than he has a very ornery/playful side. Remember, our boy is also deaf, so he cannot hear if a cat meows loudly, if he would play too hard. He's learning though as to what is "proper cat play behavior". Give him time--he's doing just fine and in the meantime, we are keeping a close eye on his play antics with the cats and kittens.
We have a new cat to add to the Rescue Center. She had been hanging around an apartment complex since January. A few people were feeding her. She's a young adult, black and white and so very sweet. She loves people and seems to get along well with the other cats. Her name is Mira. It's pronounced mirrra. Her name means peace in Slavic.
Remember to hug your cat today!
Help! I've climbed too high!
