The birds are still singing their morning song. The sun is trying to shine. Peacocks are in the yard checking things out. The kittens are in high activity play. The cats are busy grooming and keeping track of what's going on here. Sounds like it's going to be a great day!
The kittens that we kept in the back Thumper's Room for 4 days are doing awesome. They are 100% ornery and looking good. Appetites are good and all have nice FFRC tummies. There's alot of playing, jumping in the air, landing on each other and cats whizzing by so fast they look like blurrs! Life is good and so much fun for these kitties! It's wonderful that all the kittens get along great. And I'm tremendously thankful that the mamas are able to be out among everyone.
We had BOXES last night! Big time thanks to you all!

I have a friend of mine, Terri that will be taking Evad home for a week. She's off and has lots of time and wants to do something for us. So....Evad will get intense TLC and attention. This will be a good thing for her.
Our friend, Joni/catlady will be here today and tomorrow! Look for a Flash Sale!
Dawn E and her husband John are now in SC. They arrived there late last night.; Their mission is to pick up the 5 FFRC cats that their mama can no longer care for. They will pick them up this morning and turn right around and head back to Defiance. I don't expect them till 9:00 pm or so. It's a long drive with construction going on. Because of the lateness, we will probably just tuck the cats in for the night, feed them and let them have some relaxing time all night. We'll keep you posted of their journey today and when they arrive here tonight.
Have you heard about Peter--1 of the 3 brown tigers that Peggy S is fostering? I'll fill you in, in the short version. She put them to bed night before last and they were fine. In the morning, Peter was unresponsive, no heart beat, no respirations. She said a prayer for him and then tucked him in a container to bring to me.She called me and told me that he had passed away. Soon she heard him making noises and he had slight respirations. When she arrived with him, he wasn't responsive but had a heartbeat. I kept him close all day, gave him an injection to stimulate him. Hour by hour, this boy revived and became stronger. By 5:00 he was walking about and hollering for more food! He seemed to have a neck injury. Dr. Bill looked at him late afternoon and put a vertebrae back in place. He's back at Peggy's house and appears to be doing great. I am so so thankful!
