Weds, April 8, 2020

Spring is here! The grass is green, trees are budding, flowers are blooming, robins are plentiful and the gold finches are yellow! 

The three mamas are all doing great. They are keeping their weights and all have hearty appetites. Minnie's babies are so very round! Kimmie and Basani's kittens are getting stronger on their legs. Occasionally, one will go out of their big pillow beds but they are not quite yet being adventurous. Won't be long though!  All 14 babies are doing well and ae healthy.

Do you remember Mabel, one of the Abel Kittens? I've heard from her family! She is doing great and today is her Adopt-l-versary! "She is so loved and treasured. Her hobbies include breaking and entering, burglary and bird watching! She's a sweet little girl with quite a personality"!!

We've had another adoption! Zyvan was adopted on 4/3! He went into an awesome home and will have an 11 year old boy to be his best friend!

We are hoping to weigh all the cats and kittens today and do their nail clipping--it's time! 

Did you know your inside cat CAN get fleas? Fleas are more than a nuisance. They carry diseases. Humans can bring fleas in from outside. Wildlife can bring fleas into your yards. If you visit someone (not during this coronavirus time please) and they have fleas, you can then carry fleas into your home. It's actually quite easy to get an infestation of these bugs. Easy to get, hard to get rid of. We tell people all the time--it's much easier to PREVENT than to get rid of. It's like declaring a war in your home to get rid of them. For every 5 fleas you see on your pet, there's 100 in your home.  Flea control is not a quick battle, especially if you have multiple pets. But applying flea prevention monthly is very simple. 

And......we have more thanks to give!

Cutie is hanging in there. There is nothing better in the world, to her, than her baby food and a lap! What simple joys! Jessie ate a good breakfast today. Lucie spent about 20 minutes today, batting her crumpled up pieces of postie-notes--one of her favorite things. Spiker has learned if he hangs around when Ramsay gets fed, he gets to lick out the bowl! Lena had a free snacker session--I forgot to put the lid on the snacker container and she helped herself. She did share a few pieces with Zelda before I realized what was going on. Kiara has been very talkative lately--a real chatterbox.  

All is well here. Wishing you a wonderful, happy, sunny day!
