Friday, Feb.8th

Today, many of our viewers will be covered in snow. Please be safe, stay warm and we'll be keeping you all in our thoughts! 

Montana is a leg leaner--he loves to be underfoot and lean his head on a leg. I just love him! And that Dove--when she comes up to be petted, my heart melts. Just love that girl too. Pania is absolutely everywhere now! She's sometimes in Kitty Campus Room going up the steps, sometimes by the dog's room door playing with a toy, sometimes behind the wheel napping on a cushie. If she can't find her toy, she'll sit and reach out in all directions until she finds it. She's got her self-confidence! That's what we've been working on! So happy for her. 

Little Sequoia and Doce spent quite a bit of time playing together yesterday. This was just perfect to have Sequoia come in when he did. Doce really needed a pint-size friend. They curl right up together to nap and when they play--they make their pen rattle! Sarah and I were honored this morning. Joyful actually came forward, toward us to have her head patted. Not for long, but enough to show that she is trying. That in itself, makes for a great day!

Court has been returned. Apparently, he's been super active. They think he's a very sweet cat, but a bit much in the activity department. Remember, at the same time that he was being adopted, there was another family that was interested in Court, with 2 very nice young boys. I contacted this family yesterday and they are still very much interested in adopting Court. Good possibility that this may happen yet today! 

Magenta has taken a few tumbles in the past few weeks. One of the things that we will do is to keep rugs in front on the counter area--this seems to be the most common area where her falls happen. At least it will cushion the fall a little bit. She's just a little mite of a cat, and her eyes are foggy (natural aging process), so we want to try and help her as much as we can.
