Happy August--a very busy month for us. August 10th is our next Day Sale. August 17th is our next Surgery Day. The entire month will be full-speed ahead planning on the Catstock.
Just got word this morning that the floor guys will be here. Remember when they put the floor in the Kitty Kabana Room and we had those horrible storms and the windows leaked which made for a wet floor? Well, the top layer of the new orange/yellow floor is coming up. I LOVE these floors--they are so so durable, but have to be dry to install. So....the guys are coming back (at their expense). The floor is a 6 layer deal. They will remove the top 4 layers and start over. The windows are of course fixed by now and no leaks at all, so all will be well. We just have to deal with a closed Kitty Kabana for a week.
The college cats did not come back last night after all but they will return this morning. I'm anxious to hear about their visit and their reports. Initially, I do know that Dr. Don says that Anna Marie is totally blind and also has some hearing loss. Remember the BB I found in her forehead? We wanted x-rays to show if there were other BB's. Well, sadly, Dr. Don says she was pelleted full force with BB's. Many, many BB's. I'm at a loss for words as to why someone thought this was ok to do to this beautiful, loving cat. I will share the x-rays with you later. We're ready for our college cats to be returned!
