Construction is gearing up again and we have lots going on this week. Yesterday, the last of the lights were put up in Thumper's Room. The window trim boards and some of the door trims were put up. Today, the last of the window trim boards will be put on then we need to get busy painting so the painting job is done before the floor guys come on Thusday. Also today the archway going from the Thumper's Room to connect with the new part of Thumper's Room will be cut out. That means we will need to move the 5 kittens out of there at least for the day. When the guys start the new floor on Thursday, we will not be able to use Thumper's Room at all for days. What a lot of stuff!!
Also on Thursday or Friday, the Amish crew will come in and we'll finally get our sidewalks in! I am so excited about this. They will form the sidewalk in the front going by the Kitty Kabana Room to the front house porch and the sidewalk going from the driveway to Cat's Cove. We've been waiting so long for this! The walks will be formed and poured all in one day. Or so the plan goes!
Caryn's 3 cats will be here yet until tomorrow. They are Ebbe, Volle and Doce. Their construction time at their home has been extended, but Wednesday looks like their Go Home Date.
We are starting to intermingle the two mamas, Kitty Q and Catsparella into the rescue center again. It's time to start slowly but surely re-introducing them. Once their "mommy-ness mode" rubs off a bit, I do believe they will both be just fine.
Gallant just strutted by, with his usual swagger. He has his collar back on part time as he decided it was fun to lick again. His wound is just about gone--just that last stretch left to heal. What a long journey this has been for him. Dovie loves to lay on the Kabana window sills just sleepily staring outside. She seems so contented. Cutie was on the big poof yesterday with 2 kittens, giving each a thorough bath!
Timothy, a Covie cat. What an awesome cat--so sweet and friendly!
