Thursday, May 31

Talk about high energy--that's this place! The kittens are either eating, sleeping like logs or running around with bursts of constant energy! It's fun, just to even sit, and watch all the action. I always find it very interesting, the interactions they have with one another. Even as busy as these kittens are with play, they always gladly accept all the petting and hugs we give them!

Nemo is getting braver. After days of having her pen door open, she's decided to come out a wee bit. She absolutely loves the hammock in her Dodger's Pen. And she makes it known when it's time to pet her--she'll do a long meow and turn over to have her belly rubbed. She's a sweetie.

Sugar Plum is having a great time. She likes to hang out in the front office when the kittens are playing. She'll go from 1 group to another, playing with them. I believe she's still a kitten at heart, just like Queenie is. Queenie is a play machine--loves each and every toy. Bomber loves any of the toys with feathers--he grabs it and puts it in his mouth, then runs. This of course, causes 3-4 kittens to chase him! Never a dull moment around here.

Our organizing the Catathon continued yesterday. Angie is helping a lot to get those baskets and table sale items together. Very soon, we will have more information in our website regarding the catathon, like how to pre-register, why it's a good idea to pre-register, general information. In our flickr account, you will see one of the sets is called Catathon Auction Items. In this set, we will have individual pictures of the baskets with descriptions. There will also be the Big Ticket Items as well. We have tons of awesome items that will go on the Sale Table--we'll get some pictures of this too. Keep in mind though, the Sale Table will be out for the public to purchase these items. Our goal for this Catathon is to help us pay for some of the Parking Lot's concrete.

Floria, Faleen, Faleena, Raymond, Raymondo and Miler are now out and about with the rest of the kittens. Tonight starts the first night where all kittens will be out all night together! That should add some action to the already busyness!

We had BOXES last night! Many thanks from me to you.
