Marvellous Meatball

 got adopted today. By the partner of a woman who adopted a black cat whose name she has since changed Perry. She likes to be up high on the top of cupboards and on tall stratchy poles. He likes to be at ground level. She is rather overweight so likes her food. So does Meatball. They should make a perfect pair. The lady cat will get taken to Melbourne to keep her mum company while she does her masters degree. Meatball will stay at home to keep the partner company while the girls are away during term time. Perfect.

The R kittens got a turn in the play place because the boarders went home. So I cleaned Meatball's enclosure and Geoff added the fine mesh screen that sits behind the course mesh screen that Terry installed on Wednesday. Kittens' small snouts and sharp teeth can chew through the coarser mesh (as we discovered in the neighbouring condo). It might be easier to feed them in the larger condo than in the small single in Incoming. Or it may not be.

Amelia above doesn't look happy about her new neighbours.

Or was she upset because there were no seconds of chicken? Honey wanted thirds!

But Tommy just wanted more time with his Geoff. Or perhaps her Geoff. She looks more and more tortie-ish. A very small percentage of torties are male cats. In those cases the male cat is sterile. Tommy has been desexed. It might have been a waste of money!

Geoff decided to let Billy get some exercise in the Top Cat. I suggested that he leave some greenies on the floor. If they aren't there in the morning, Billy might have explored.

And in Isolation the stand alone is EMPTY. Barry and Blaze are both with (separate) foster carers and both are doing very well, Irene says. Sharon scrubbed that stand alone religiously this afternoon. Thank you, Sharon.
