Thursday, June 20

The kitties all took a mad dash out of Kabana Room yesterday. The reason--a big, giant, scary peacock was looking in the window at them and then sounded off. Scared the poor babies. They probably thought that strange thing was going to eat them! But their curiosity got the better of them and it didn't take them long to venture out again. Such brave hearts!

Three more days to the Catathon! We've added a new item to the Cathathon store. Thanks to Cantoncat, we now have the wonderful Putter Pouches added. These neat cell phone/money holders are awesome--a bit stretchy, has Putter's picture on the front and comes in Blue or Purple. An iphone 5 easily slips into the pouch. Check it out on the website!  Remember......you can still pre-register too. 

We had BOXES last night! We're ever so grateful.

Meg is still thinking of us!

We are so so hoping the cabinets/counters/cupboards come in today. If so, Dion says it'll just take 3-4 hours to install. 

The grass that was planted a week ago Sunday (needed from all the construction by the front sidewalk) is growing quickly! The sun helps and we've been watering it. 

We had a PetFinder report. The top 14 cats viewed were: Arden, Sara, Karena, Maui, Dove, Ratchet, Dahnay, Tabitha, Zelda, Polo, Snappy, Whisk, Keesha and Raza.

Today Gallant will have a few of his stitches out--this way we don't take them all out at the same time. His incisional area looks clean and healthy. We all have smiles about that wee Camvie! When her pen door is opened, she simply runs out. Doesn't seem to matter to her that there's "air" there. Usually she aims for an arm or shoulder, but today she just simply ran out. My hand was holding a plate of gruel, which she landed in! Still didn't bother her--she simply grabbed me and ran up to my shoulder! Her, Merlyn and Intrepid are such silly friends!

Kitty Q, Catsparella and Maui are doing great together. Kitty Q is a quiet girl, but so enjoys being petted. She loves to play now! Catsparella loves the sun and Maui is everyone's friend! These three calicos and baby Ginger are so nice.

Tabitha is a licker! Yep--she loves to lick skin! Face, arm, ankles--whatever! Such a nice cat. Our oldsters are doing great--all are feeling good and eating good. Who could ever resist Ada Jane's creaky meow or Magenta's silent stare? Not us! 

Remember too that in Round 7, the Big Ticket Items are a surprise! These items are guaranteed to be something you will love!
