Catstock......it's tomorrow!  Cool, man! Groovy stuff is gong to happen!  We have fun things, campfire, great food, super friendships, awesome band in Strawberry Hill, good weather---just to name a few things!   

Our viewers are also in for some surprises--we want you to feel a part of our Catstock.  You'll also be able to view the action on the cam but there will also be extra things for you!  And feel free to dress up Catstock style, take a picture and post on facebook to share! 

We will put Nsuku and Julianne and some of the smaller kittens in the back Thumper's Room for safety.  The cats and kittens though will love all the extra pettings.

Ann and Sean have given the Covies some good grooming too so they are ready to strut their coolness to the visitors! And the picture boards has also been updated by them! Many thanks.

I'm sure many of you remember Zander from a few years ago. He was one of our 3 legged cats. I've heard from his mama! All is good. He loves the sliding glass doors to watch the cats and birds. And he is loved!

We've had another adoption! Two of them!  Horace and David Morgan were adopted together into a super happy home! His new people was very excited to have them join their family! Two really nice adoptions!

We have more adoptions coming up---even this weekend!

The yum-raiser is now over and the delicious results will be revealed during Catstock!  Plus the lucky 8 winners will have their names drawn.  We are fortunate and happy that Wolfpatch will also let us sample his wonderful cookies at Catstock!

Little Bailey O's ear is slowly but surely healing. That sore was pretty sore but today (finally) looks like healing has begun. She is ever so sweet.

LJ the baby kitten is doing so much better. Eating everything in sight and is slowly growing now (at least in the tummy!!).  She is snoozing away with Coco and Brenna right now.  We have so many kitty groups that lump together for naptimes.

Pippi is here in the office with me. She loves to play with the other cats and loves going high too. She is always careful. Such an extra special cat.  She and Asha like to hang out together.

This week we had a big weigh in  and toe nail trimming day. Weights are all good.  Ears look good too! And we have some of the most excellent purr-ers in the world! 

We're still in the middle of our "Name a Purrshun" fun time. For $25, you can send in a name suggestion for when the babies are born.  We will use these special names for naming the Persians. The extra ones will be put into the Name a Cat Name list and will be used!  Their due date is anywhere from September 15-18. It's rare that we know when a female gets pregnant but in this case, we do.  Now........I've had a talk with both  Nsuku and Julianne. We have surgery here at FFRC on the 16th. And we do have to use our surgery room which is the back Thumper's Room. So, I've asked them to wait until Sunday. That way surgeries are done, I'll get a good nights sleep and can be available from Sunday morning on---with a request to wait until after breakfast time on Sunday!  They both looked at me like I was crazy! Time will tell. You know cats---they have their own time schedule! 

Want to extend a safety wish for all of our friends in Texas, Florida and the east coast as these hurricanes have been tough this year. Please take care.

On to Catstock........let's rock and roll and have a good time!
