Moo gone

 She got adopted yesterday. Sebastian has already moved into her small stand alone.

Sebastian
He has been desexed and is ready to go. Savannah was sprawled out in their condo this afternoon while Sybie was in the bed box by herself. 

 And Tiger has been moved from Incoming to be with his siblings, Dash and Oreo because he has recovered from whatever upset his kidneys. You can tell which of the tabbies is Tiger. He is the one who jumps onto your head when you open the door.

Oreo, Tiger, Dash. . .. perhaps
I have noticed that Goosey is very affectionate at dinner time. If you approach her at other times, she does NOT want to know you. But at dinner time she would rather have cuddles than food. 

And since Ravyn has had a harness on, she is much more relaxed. Perhaps it is the prospect of wanders that has taken off the edge. Or just the realization that she is in an enviable position. . . . all that space for just her. Or the vollies who give her treats whenever they approach her.

Ravyn

On the other end of the scale is Dinesh who looks miserable and has battle scars to justify that feeling. Must find out his history.

Joy's new phone

 She says she bought it so that she could take even better photos of our cats. For example:

Fawney and family

 
Cookie
She is a newcomer in Incoming. When I fed her afternoon tea she was lying on her back with her legs in the air. Kim took Sebastian home with her this afternoon so as to give Sybie some room to recover without "big brother" hogging all the food.
Oreo
Look at those whiskers! The third kitten has ?been adopted.

Dash

Bubbles and Squeek are less nervous.

And next door, Freckles and Posie are almost friendly.

Freckles and Posie
We got a new cat from a colony today from a devoted colony cat carer (Her colony has about 20 cats). He is Angel and he is a sweetie. I had to turf Ravyn out of her stand alone, give it a quick steralization, and reinstall it beside the door. It was nice not having a stand alone there.

 The photos are splendid. Thank you Joy.

Tim wins

 In the "Sounds Crook" stakes. And he has been sick for longer than me. Despite that he picked up Callie from the vet this afternoon. ? for a check of her removed teeth? She was really keen for her dinner.

Callie
I introduced myself to Ravioli this afternoon. Irene talked about putting them up for adoption so I decided it was time for him to come out of hiding in a huge, fluffy bed. . . . . I ripped the top off his covering and discovered a very friendly cat under all the polyester fluff. Irene said "That is Billy, the friendly one". 

Billy
I thought the one who sat on the top shelf was Billy because he was so friendly (I overheard that much of the surrender process.) But the ragdoll is Ravioli.

Ravioli (sorry about the bad photos)
They will be on the website and are not expected to last for long. So get your pats in before they ..  . . . . . . 

I installed the Top Cat so vollies could entertain the kittens. Everybody enjoyed themselves.


Until they got put back into their condo and had to watch other kittens cavorting.


In Isolaation, I don't know which kitten is Borealis or Australis. The mum is Aurora. (Which seems a most inapprorpriate name for a spitty mum.)

Aurora on right. Larger kitten on left

Aurora's smaller kitten

 What do think?

Early mark

 Sue took pity on my post cold croaky-ness and sent me home early. Even though I tangled up with the school traffic, Aslan is thrilled. He reckons that he will be able to get two dinners if he eats the first one fast enough. He has a mouse that he prefers to play with.

Aslan
Which means that I didn't take any photos today. There was opportunity when Roxie's kittens and the three left-over kittens had a lovely frolic in the Top Cat. But I missed it. I was sorting out the Willoughby bins that didn't get collected until this afternoon. But the Couzens paper bin was emptied this morning.

So back to Joy's superior photos from last Wednesday. 

The lovely Willow has decided that people are not all scary. But she is not prepared to come off her cloud most of the time.

Willow

 Freckles and Rosie have been moved from the back corner of Boarding to the Welfare floor. They are getting less spitty. One of them is quite calm, most of the time.
Freckles and Rosie

They are next door to Bubble and Squeek who are still shell shocked at their move. By the time they have chewed their box to pieces, they should be settled down.

Bubbles and Squeek

 In November, we averaged one adoption a day: 30 for the month. Well done us!
