We had a visitor this morning on her second visit. She has three adult (6, 11 and 12) female cats at home as well as 2 doodle dogs and 3 kids from 12 up. The house is currently being worked on so her husband has said "Not this week!" and also "Not a kitten". A pity because she likes Rose ( in Incoming or Rosa in Welfare who was adopted over the weekend). She also likes Mallee. Who doesn't really like people yet but I am sure she will learn to love the person who feeds her.
We were keen for her to like Storm. A boy, young cat would be a good idea to go with all those females and he probably met some dogs while he was living at large.

So we opened up the Top Cat and let him out to play with Petal and Koa (Ziggy was adopted over the weekend). They had a fabulous time chasing ping pong balls. Eventually they chased them into the space between Pepper's condo and the wall. I sent Tim W to get them out. He found 11 ping pong balls there!
Later, after she left and Storm went in for a rest, we added Prime who had a fine time.
Then added Zoe who really wanted to play with all the balls by herself but not with any other cats, thank you. I eventually put on the blue gloves to put her back she was having such a bolshie time.
If you notice a pink washer rolled into the space beside Pepper's condo, it is to keep the ping pong balls out.

Pepper wanted to play too.

Later on Helen and I rotated Hiccup and Turbo's carrier so that the larger "window" could be opened. They are very friendly cats (especially if you have something delicious to temp them). Now they can't hide so well.

Two of the stand alone kittens in incoming have been desexed. Their collars were off and wet. So I put on clean collars. I think that wink says that the collars will be off as soon as I walk out of the room!
There is another new mum in Incoming. She had four kittens yesterday. Her name is Yahtzee. What are we going to name her kittens? Yvette, Yves, Yvonne, Yosef, Yale, Yasmine. . . . not Yoel!

And Peaches is all alone in Isolation. She has been since March 24 when her kittens were sent to the vet.
