Boxes here, packages there, tape over on the counter, labels on the table--there's stuff everywhere--clear up to shoulder high! Yep--we're packing up the Baskets and Big Ticket Items the the items that were sold for the $28 and under. It's organized chaos. And it's all in the new Mail Room! We are loving it. The counter isn't secure yet, but the cupboards and cabinets are in. We love it.

The back Thumper's Room is starting to come together too. The kittens back there are loving all the cabinets and boxes being everywhere--they are great mountains to climb. By the end of the day--all should be secure to the wall and we can finish filling them up with our supplies!

Our little Catmandu had his surgery yesterday. Poor fella had a really nasty break. But his rear leg now sports a pin and two wires. He;s on a big cushie to rest on so he's quite comfortable. This is a really nice kitten--will come to the front of his pen to be petted, even thou it's less than 24 hours after surgery.

Oh my goodness--there are kittens galore here on my desk, so it's THEIR fault this blog is so late! I do believe someone has sprinkled bonito flakes and catnip on the desktop. I need a kitty babysitter! Do I love it? You bet!
