The grass eating effort! On Wednesday, I distributed pots of grass grown for our cats by Joan. Most of them didn't appreciate her effort. But Codie ate most:

And Sydney and Phoenix (even though they won't stand still for a photo).

Pepper and Dixie did well. But Pepper did better because she was adopted today. Chosen by a preteen for her birthday present.

For such a small cat she is remarkably quick. So am I. But she is quicker at catching my thumb with her claw as I hand in her bowl of food, six times a day. She usually only gets me once. Today when she got me, I got her claw. . . stuck in my thumb.
But the good news is that Turbo and Hiccup were adopted today. A nice couple came in looking for a replacement of their dearly beloved female cat. They live in Darling Harbour, have two balconies and work most of the time from home. So, two cats would be better than one. But he loved Teddy who was in smooch mood. And they both loved Mr Bigglesworth for his relaxed style. And Hank, of cource, because he is a luv bug.
So I sent them next door to have a coffee and a chat at the cafe there. And they came back having decided to take T & H. They got their carrier as well. And will have a happy life with one cat for both of them.
Another lady came in looking for a kitten to replace her old cat. She has met everybody and will return.
The woman who adopted Milly brought her in because she has the dreaded ringworm. Just one spot on her ear. She is settling in very well at home. She and the pug get on well. She was reluctant to leave Milly with us for 6 weeks of ringworm treatment. So we told her all about the cream that you can put on the lesion daily and she decided to take Milly home and treat her there. We may get more returned kittens.
We did get two traumatized kittens from a hoarder via Willoughby Vets. (I named them Will and Lobey). They each have very strange, large round red lesions on each side of the back of their necks. They seem terrified of people. . . possibly with good reason.
Because of the ringworm in the enclosures and coccidia in Isolation, a lot of scrubbing and redecorating took place. Many thanks to Joan for scrubbing the wall behind the stand alone in Isolation. It was decorated with poo that probably was put there by Peach's kittens when they had the coccidia. A lession for us all . . . don't forget to sterilize the wall!

I could tell that something was going on this morning when she wasn't waiting anxiously for her breakfast. I had a quick peak and saw one baby. Later on I saw another. Don't know if she had them today or I just missed the second one on my first brief peek. Later I got photos:

Bree is getting more relaxed. We need names for her great gingers.

The other girl Shadow, on the other side of that condo block, renamed Codie, has got the sloppy, smelly poos. She may have got it from Peaches. Peaches and family are at the vets for tlc.
Zoe and Maddy are available for adoption, separately. One of them had inappropriate urinating problems in the home that she came from. So we have not labeled them as a bonded pair. Often two females together, if they are not related, have dominance issues that result in inappropriate peeing.

The other Zoe is ready to a proper home, she tells me.
