Piglet's new skill

 is standing on shoulders.

Tim's new skill is numbering enclosures.

The numbers start at Lola and Pixie on the wall away from the office closest to the line of AWL condos.

 And end at 36 where Salt and Pepper are finally coming out from behind the sheets.

Across the way is Rascal in 37 to Clover in 39. Roxie is in 40 across the gap with Julie and Bassuria beside her in 41. The old AWL condos start with Marcy and Indie in 21 with Cheeto below in 22 and end with Peanut (aka Princess) at the other end of the line in 29.

Upstairs Dinesh is in D3. I assume (didn't look) that Raphaella (on the other side of the door) is in D1, etc. Raven is in D7.

Across the aisle, S1 has a boarder, Olive who moved in today. She didn't take long to settle into a hammock. (Which shows bravery because most cats wouldn't have ever seen a hammock before).

Gideon is at the end of that row of enclosures in S5. This afternoon he was curled up so tight you couldn't see his ears.

Settling in

 Robin visited today. It was grand to see her. And she hopes that now that she is just 5 minutes away, we will see her more often. Australis was thrilled to meet her. Her tail almost touches her ears when she is particularly pleased.

The crew had the brilliant idea of moving the stand alones to sweep beneath them.

 And while stand alones were moving, Bree's was rotated by 90degrees so that she backs up to the end of Chalk and Percy's.

 She glowed at the prospect of being able to watch Lola and Pixie. (Or my too smart iPhone changed her colours to what it thought was appropriate!

Bree isn't this tortie!

Rascal is becoming more sociable in her new digs.

 Even, Oreo next door seems more relaxed.

On his other side is Clover, the Ume replacement. She is not a happy cat.

 But Gideon was when we took off his cone so that he could eat and try to walk. (The eating went well for soft food. But the walking is all over the place unless there is a lap to be had.)

Adoption Tails: Monica, Wanda, Oreo, Clover and Myrtle

Monica 5149 

1 day: Monica is settling in really well in the spare room. She's eaten, drunk & used the litter tray with no issues. Cuddled the blanket last night. Occasionally, she will get a little spooked with loud noises. She was let out to explore the rest of the home and has since returned to her own space. Monica was happy to cuddle with her owner. 

Monica

1 week: Monica is doing great, no concerns. 

1 month: Monica's doing really great, settled in really well. The whole family loves her.

Wanda 5096

1 day: Wanda is doing well but has tried to nip at her owner twice when she reached out to pat her. Other than that, no other incidents have occurred and Wanda is happily sleeping next to owner. 

1 week: Settling in well, Wanda has had a chance to explore her new home. Her new owner is happy so far and dealing with her grief from losing her previous cat.

1 month: Wanda is doing very very well in her new home. She jumps up for cuddles on laps. They are both very happy with each other. Her owner was able to stop Wanda from jumping into the high spots of the wardrobe and is now teaching her not to jump onto the kitchen counters. Wanda likes to wake her owner up at 5:30am to play.

Oreo 5124 (Ruby's kitten)

1 day: Oreo is doing well, she ate a little and drank quite a bit of water, she's also used the litter tray. The owner has got name ideas but still haven't decided on one yet.

1 week: Oreo's doing well, although the owner had to take her to the vet as she had an issue with her eye. They just gave an ointment to apply and it should be all good in a couple days. She's comfortable in the owner's room, but still a little hesitant to explore the rest of the house.

1 month: She's doing very well!

Violet's kittens

Clover 5076 (Violet's kitten)

1 day: Clover has had a little bit to eat last night but not today. She's used the litter tray once. The owner will keep the name. 

1 week: Clover is doing great, very cuddly and active.

1 month: Clover is great!

 

Myrtle

1 day: She has not used the litterbox. She has eaten and maybe drunk water. The owner is going to keep her name. She is currently hiding under a bed near the heating vent. She is okay and he thinks he heard her meow during the night.
1 week: She's still hiding. Her owner is leaving the door open at night because she seems to want to explore at night. He is giving her limited access and there are no potential exit points for her.

Myrtle

 1 month: Myrtle seems to come out at night when it's quiet. She eats, drinks and uses her scratching box. She has explored the whole house and seems to enjoy the upstairs rug as it is always in a muddle in the morning. She has retreated back into her safe room after he talked to her but she is making slow progress.

One left

 Of Sabrina's kittens, there is still one left, if you don't count Lulu the short haired tuxedo who sticks by her side and hasn't yet been desexed. (I still think that she is a younger ring-in even though she and Tigger had a lovely game of ring-around-the-litter box today). 

We have a new mum and four kittens on Naughty Row. They are mum Violet and Ivy, Clover, Orchid and Natalia.

Three others downstairs on the luxurious bed

 But the one that we are really happy to have left is Trixie. She was adopted yesterday by a young couple who just fell in love with her. They know all about her history and possibly expensive future but still took her. Lucky them.

Today the Ringworm pair were upgraded to her condo in the main cat room. They are completely cured and should be ready to adopt. Basil is the bolder kitten. He has a white upside down V on his face.

Basil, the bold

His brother, Piglet is very shy still. He was the one with the ringworm lesions that needed frequent applications of nasty ointment (he thought it was nasty; it is really very soothing). He hides from people and is protective of food which Basil tends to greedy. I hope there are enough Trixie vibes left in their condo to bring him out of his shell.

Had a rare sighting of Rebel this afternoon.

And Rufus is still waiting to be picked up by his new owner.

I took a chance and added hammocks to the D's and Tommy/Mia's stand alones. The previous hammocks had been used as litter trays before they came down with the flu. I hope it was just cats feeling too poorly to make it to the box.

Two of the D's immediately jumped into the new hammock and had a noisy wrestle.

Tommy is withdrawn. I suspect that all his testosterone has disappeared and he doesn't know whether he is Arthur or Martha. He curled up in the smallest triangular hammock.

Tommy and Mia

The only visitors we had today were a couple of young women who had wanted to walk some dogs at Monika's Doggy Rescue. But it was closed. So they rang to ask if we had any dogs that needed to be walked. I said they were welcome to come visit some cats. They came under strict instructions from their parents that they were NOT to bring home any cats/kittens. They were very restrained. Our new ginger and white boy Ginger was thrilled to see them.
