Moved

 The removalists came yesterday, took down all the condos, drove them to Mona Vale and rebuilt them there. Then the cats were all moved and installed. Some of the condo doors don't close easily. The trick is to push up on the bottom of the window frame to get them to close.

None of the condos had numbers this morning. Usually you feed following the numbers of the condos. So I gave them numbers and found the cats names and put a condo number beside the cat to know what and when to feed it. I felt pretty clever until Tim pointed out that condos 1-6 have large numbers written on them and I had started my numbering at the other end. I changed my numbers just before David sat down to write up new feeding sheets. What a job! Thank you David.

Most cats seem to have settled down well. Even Chalk was fairly quiet this afternoon. But the three vollies had to work very hard to get everything done. 

I didn't think of taking any photos but David mentioned that he saw/snapped several rabbits while walking down Taronga Place. This is the little one I saw earlier in the week.

Short Wednesday

 The moving men still haven't delivered the dismantled condos to Mona Vale. So the cats haven't been transferred. Which makes working at Mona Vale very quick and easy. The two vollies could take their time with every cat and still get away before 1pm. Even I went home for lunch because Lovely Kath came to take care of everybody in the afternoon.

Joy took photos of Demi and her baby whom I have named Half.

Demi who really does glow and her kitten

 Terry dropped by to put together the scratchy poles that he had to disassemble yesterday to bring to Mona Vale. He also reconstructed the stand alone that was in Isolation. It has been empty for months so surely is not contageous (ringworm family was in there.) He tightened up everything so I hope the doors stay closed.

 Every day is another adventure.

 Since I wrote this Kath has posted photos of reassembled condos at Mona Vale. The removalists came! 

My first Tuesday

 It was very nice to meet the Tuesday crew (or some of it) at last.

One thing they, and everyone else will have to remember is that the new, industrial mop needs to be rinsed out after it is finished with for the day. Otherwise all the dirt stays in it.

I told Tim that Julie and Bass are almost out of ZD wet, which has been their sole diet since he had a tooth out. Tim decided that it was time they were reintroduced to ZD crunchies. Aslan is proof positive that you don't have to have any teeth at all to enjoy crunchies. (But he does love his wet ZD).

I gave Dinesh a hammock today. Is was brand new. I made it out of a pillowslip yesterday. He watched them next door playing in theirs. (Do we have a name for Demi's kitten? How about "Half")

At some stage Demi threw up on his new hammock. I have made him another one this evening. If anybody has some old, cotton or flanelette pillowslips, please bring them in. They are the perfect size for the larger enclosures. 
 

 

It is probably me who is doing something odd!

When I left this afternoon around 4pm there was a very small rabbit sitting on the side of the road as though it was waiting for it's mum to pick it up  from kindy. About 5 ins tall (12cm), dark grey with a white rim around its chest. Super cute.

Continuing. . . because Blogger did something odd

How's it going

 I photographed every cat at Mona Vale today. You can tell by their faces how they are coping.

First shift at the new place

 The three vollies who came to Mona Vale had to search out all the bits and pieces that they needed. Some things were missing  . . . . like rubbish bins and aprons. But they improvised and did a splendid job. They deserved two photos -- one at each end of out large downstairs space.

 

 Thanks guys. Most of the cats have settled down after their big day on Friday. Some haven't. Salt and Pepper are still ready to bolt. Chalk is a happy chappy and Ume just wants a cuddle.
