Saturday, May18

What was that pitiful mewing sound? One of the little gold white kittens went rushing up to Linda and cried and cried. Seemed so distressed. What happened? She brought the kitten to me for identifying. It turns out it was Theo--one of the Thumper's Room kittens. When the door opened, he must've slipped into the main area. He was ever so glad to get back to his siblings and his room! Those 5 sure can romp and play!

Also this morning, we had the door open to June's Room for a little while. Kitty Q and her two kittens came out for a short little walk-about. Then they went back in and napped--must've been an exhausting adventure! All are doing great.

We had the cam in Catsparella's room for a while this morning. Little Meg and Fiona are a bit thin, so they were supplemented this morning. They may be thin, but they're active! They have all left their nest again and now call the lower level of the Kuranda Tower their new nest. All 7 of these kittens are so so friendly.

We had BOXES last night. Such wonderful gifts, of which we are thankful for.

Thank you so much for your support of these Day Sales. This will be the last one until things are "done and dusted" after Catathon!  

Remember too, the 24 hour drawer/bed sale is going on right now and will end at 6 pm.  Check out the FB chatters page. After this one, we will have one more 24 hour sale (next week). After the Catathon, we will continue to have a few more of these. 

Pushkins and Pushkiss are inside the temporary empty Dodger's Pen (it'll be cleaned shortly). There's a ping pong ball in there that they are swatting around at 100 mph! Such fun. Yesterday, I went with Caryn to a garage sale. Before I left, the cats asked that I buy them something different for them to play with. So............I did! I found a four foot long thick snake with two heads! It's on the floor for them to play with. Have already seen one kitten take a nap on it, with the belly on the top of the snake. And I've seen two of the adults (Polo and Spruce) approach it very very slowly, like they weren't sure what that thing is on their floor! Polo swatted at the left head! Gotta love these cats! 

Now, is this cute, or what?!! Just love this boy Walter. He is at his cuddliest in the early morning! Can't get enough head rubs and pettings!
