A big boy needs a big carrier

 When I arrived around 11:30 there were two adoptions happening.

The first was Kit who was chosen, after a lot of discussion, by a family of at least 5 boys (perhaps some were friends) and two parents. They had brought with them one of the smaller cat carriers: kitten sized. Not Kit sized. They tried to say that he would go in and it would be inconvenient for them to come so far back again if they borrowed a carrier. But after Kit demonstrated that he would NOT go into that shoebox, they were convinced to borrow one of our largest carriers. Tim did the deed and they carried him off. I am sure they will all be very happy. Let us hope that none of the boys develop an allergy to cats which is what happened at his last home.

And a pair of girls came to adopt Sooty. Rosanna sent them and rang later to confirm that they actually turned up. 

So there was a spare condo which got speedily cleaned and I was asked to move Cuddlepie into it. Now, Cuddlepie has never acted true to name to me. So I invited Tim to do the deed. They struggled on the floor for a while before Tim got a good hold on her and afterwards he retired to tend his wounds. (My tearable skin would have been tattered).

And a mum and daughter turned up to discuss fostering Stardust with Irene. They had a lovely meeting with him and have gone home to think about it. 

Meanwhile Rebecca came back from the home she went to last Wednesday. Via a vet where she was abandoned on Wednesday. She was so happy to be back with us. Friendliest she has ever been.

She and The Sheik had a lovely chat while The Sheik was in the Top Cat later on.

We have new front door "kittens": Felipe and Nix. They are shy. Perhaps they should be moved to an area with less traffic.

It was nice to see Aspen rolling around in her condo this afternoon. She was excessively shy when she first came to us.

 When I arrived early this morning, there was a condo with its door open, no cat inside but a label saying that the bed was to go with Winnie. There was a liberal scattering of food on the floor so I assumed that "Winnie" was on top of the condos. So I fed everybody first. Then, when Sophie arrived early I asked her to look for "Winnie". She found her in no time hiding behind the dirty laundry bins and promptly put her back in her condo. Winnie seemed happy enough.

And there was only one cat in Dorian and Sebastian's condo. With drugs for one cat. So I assumed (correctly) that the other was still at the vets. Teeth were removed from one first. The other had to wait a day.

Kit seems to have expanded since moving into the Play Place. He is a very friendly cat. He needs space above his litter tray to be able to assume the poo position. So don't put it under anything or you might have to clean the floor.

There are new cats in Incoming. It was hard to find Gitterbug and Falco. G is the ginger hiding under the bedding pushing his bum into Falco's face.

And a cat called Littleone who has grown out of his/her name.

Geoff came to redo some of the mesh on the condo doors. Much to Julie's delight because she got time in the Top Cat while he worked on her and Bassuria's door.
