Saturday, April 21, 2018

We had honest to goodness sunshine yesterday!  Without a cloudy sky! It was wonderful!  Jones in PawMart would move along with the sunbeam. Porchies were rolling on their sidewalk in the sun. Covies were stretched out on their grass yard. I even saw the horses napping in the sun! It was all wonderful.  And even us humans made it outside to soak up those sunrays.  

Today is our FFRC surgery day. We have a mix of FFRC cats/kittens and public cats. We'll try and keep you posted today as things are done.

And we have more thanks to give:
Ju-in-ji--donation for Thane and Gisela
JM41MD--donation in memory of his Tigercat

Esta Sparkle is doing great in her new home!  Pictures were sent and she looks so very happy! This is what makes every adoption exciting and rewarding!

We've also heard from the Dad that adopted Max and Rita. Both are doing wonderful.  Max who is now called Snowy had fractured a leg fairly soon after his adoption. But his new dad had him at the vets and then cared for Snowy. Max slipped trying to jump on a counter. His leg is strong and healed now.  He says they are both such sweet kittens!

We had a visit the other day from Kandan and Kubu and their mom. Sounds like these two are well loved and super fun and active! They have fit right into their new home!

We took  in a new cat.  Really, she's an older kitten. Her name is Stephie (a Name a Cat name).  She's 8 months old and is grey tiger with white. Stephie was found all by herself on a Country Rd.  She a sweetie, knows how to give loud purrs and is excited about coming out of her pen to rock and roll!  First, she will be on our surgery list today. 

Our new cat Marie April is doing great. She acts like she's always been here. She loves to lounge on the shelves in the front Thumper's Room. Her bath and grooming were a good thing for her--she just looks so much better already.

Our cat car made a trip thru town yesterday! It's a fun car to drive.

Pania is the trainer and she has Kiara and Marilyn in training.  Pania has learned if she meows as different ones of us servants/humans comes by her, she gets her RC baby cat kibbles. She times it just right so we servants don't realize that she pulled the same trick 10 minutes ago with another servant. Now, when Pania gives "the cry meow", Kiara and Marilyn also appear--they are excellent students!  And us servants fall for it almost every time.

I'm having trouble today organizing my notes--the reason is because Eddie White is sprawled on my desk. What a far way this boy has come. It's pure joy to see him enjoying himself!

The water fountain is temporarily down in the Kabana.  Boo Boo has knocked it over two times already. He loves playing in water. The  water bowls are fun for him too though--he takes his paws and swishes the water until he makes tidal waves to spill out! 

Jones, who is the bestest purrer anywhere, has something to say---"Remember, you can purr your way out of just about anything".   And he does!  Take care and have a great weekend.
