Today and the next 2 days are filled with things that we will be doing to get ready for the Catstock. Personally, I'm waiting for Friday when the giant bags are arriving of fresh theatre popcorn! Lots of yard preparations too. We're excited and very much looking forward to this event. The webcammers Horse Poo Bingo is going very well. It will close Friday mid afternoon. If you need any information about it, check the previous blog and you'll see the entry.

Oh my, I'm afraid we are kitten over-loadeth right now. We have taken in a mama cat with 3 kittens that are 7 1/2 weeks old. No names yet, but will soon. Tests are done on all of them, vaccinations/wormings/capstars all done already. Nice kittens and nice mama.
We have also taken on 2 other kittens--a black/white kitten with the cutest ever face and the biggest tummy I've ever seen on a baby. She was found at a friend's house, in the country. No other siblings, no mama. She's about 4-5 weeks old. The second kitten came in more dead than alive, but is slowly coming around. This kitten is a long hair brown tiger with definite light tan circles around both eyes--cuuuuuuuuuute! He is about 6 weeks old. This kitten is not stable yet, but is negative for FIV/leukemia as is the first kitten. Gums/mouth is extremely pale from fleas feasting on him. Took 4 days till we could draw enough blood to do his test. His name is Teddy Bear. The black/white cutie is named Little Bit. These are both Catathon names.
We have 2 visitors that are here for 3 days. Julie (from Florida) and her aunt, Linda (from Columbus, OH). Today is Julie's birthday. They are both right now on the farmyard to see the Running of the Covies! It's one of my favorite things to watch!
Viola is doing better with her kittens. She definitely is not a good kitty-cleaner, but she's nursing them and that's more important. We give kitty baths every two days and they are needed then! We have been letting Viola out of her pen several times a day, for a walk/run about. She loves it and is very good with the other kittens and cats.
Juby is doing awesome. He spent about 6 hours up in the main rescue center yesterday. What a lovey boy he is. He and Joline and Walter are good friends. Joyful too gets along good with him! Merry is here, there and everywhere in the Rescue Center--we love seeing this.
For every 5 fleas found on your pet, there's 95-100 in your home! Please, use monthly flea prevention.
Beartoe--a very handsome kitten. He can wear beads because Putter told him he can!
