Nine more days to Christmas. The best Christmas present of all---the kitties are all doing much better. It's true we had a tummy flu bug come in. Remember--no worries for people--these things are species specific. Monday was the hardest day for this bug. Yesterday was better, today is better yet. Cecil is still punky as is Marja. Both received fluids and injections this morning and actually are feeling better already. This equates to school classes--one kid/kitty brings in a bug and presto....all of them get it. Here's the silver lining in this--when they recover, it will have triggered their immune system and they will actually have a tougher immune system! We had changed their diet the last few days--using very easily digestible foods. Today we started them back pretty much on their regular diet as their appetites have increased now! That is a good thing! My Christmas wish---no more pukies!
Yesterday was the interview with the Eagle Rare Life people! The interview was about 23 minutes long. He told me we will have another interview on the phone the first week of January. I've been asked how we are doing and truthfully.....I have no idea. I know the competition is very tough. I also know we are in the overall top 30 picks and we are in the top 5 for the Devotion category. He stressed it's important to keep voting so please keep up the good work! I thank you for this!

We have a new kitten that we took in. Her name is Aloha, a Name a Cat name. She is 8 weeks old and her birthday is 10/21/15. She is a gorgeous baby--very long hair, possibly a Himalayan mix. A real sweetiepie! She loves her heated cuddly bed!
We have kittens on hold! Sometime soon these kittens will be going to their new homes. They are: Fatima, Hoot, Jester, Panda, Jun, Joop, Squiggles and Stormy. There's a few others being looked at too. Adoptions coming up!
