Ernest has already been delivered to the vet's office. Dr. Darcy left me a message late last night that she and Dr. P are all ready for Ernest's big day. This is a big deal surgery. As soon as they give the word that he is done, we'll be picking him up and bringing him back home. Prayers for Ernest, the vets, the vet tech's--all involved. Before we packed him in his crate, I showed him to Alaska, who promptly touched his nose.
Our new grey young cat that Judy and Phil brought in on Sunday is doing good. His name is PJ, for Phil and Judy! He's about 10 months old. They've had him a couple weeks and was waiting for us to have room to take PJ in. I have an appointment for him to be neutered. When I made this appointment, the vet tech has expressed interest in him already! We shall see what happens. He had lots of cuddle time yesterday.
Joyful loves napping in a box that's on her desk. Joline made about 10 trips from the Welcome Room Office to the main area---back and forth and back and forth! Oh, the things we do for these sweeties! Snappy and Arden are rough housing together. They yelp, stop and start licking each other. Then when settled down, off they go again. Pure fun play! Anna Marie is playing with a crinkle tunnel with Jemison. Zelda is trying to decide if she really wants to share the desk here with Miss Marti and Camilla. She's not so sure!
We had BOXES last night. We are so grateful for your support.

Wow--we took one very very full vehicle to the postal service yesterday! More afghans, wreaths, items should be arriving at their destinations soon!
Our sweet Venus went to her new home. Kate and Roger arrived home with their new sweetie. Sounds like all is going good. She will be one pampered kitten--just what we want. I'd also like to thank them for their heapful of items they donated to FFRC. Something of everything, including two roasted chickens that was deboned and given to all (including Porchies & Covies)). The cats devoured it up! Thank you so much for helping FFRC.
Derecho has been a bit unstable in his balance lately--more so than before. He's been wearing his vest on most days and this seems to help. Lorenzo is now sporting the Christmas vests that Derecho wore a year ago. He's been playing and getting about just fine this morning with his vest.
Apache, the new black kitten with extra toes is doing great. His feet are healing. Several of his pads appear to have been scraped off. A bit sore, but healing has begun. He has a motor that doesn't stop. He had arrived on Thanksgiving.
The cats have their ham bone! Their Auntie Judy (sister volunteer) always provides this for the cats. They LOVE it. It requires hours and hours of gnawing and chewing. Keeps them busy!
George--ready for a new home!
