More kittens on Better Row

 Mimi has been moved to where Wolfgang was (ie from Prue and Trude's enclosure). She is a very friendly cat but retires to her hidey hole when nobody is visiting. Open her door and she comes out. Her condo on Better Row is occupied by Ruby and her four kittens. Ruby looks like a kitten herself. (I did take some photo with my camera and was delighted that it decided to work. But when I try to download the photos. . . . no go. I will have to get some cluey vollie to teach me how to "airdrop" from my phone to my computer.)

The O kittens are just next door to Ruby. They are full of zest.

Othello and the girls. Octavia is the one with the ginger nose (?)

And at the very end (above Dinesh) is a cat called Peanut. She has come with a fancy bed with a red bobble toy . . . . and an attitude that says. . . I belong somewhere better than here.,  Won't take her long to fit into Better Row!

Gingin and Oreo have moved into the stand alone in Welfare where Crumpet and Marmalade were before moving into Isolation. (I think they rather like their larger stand alone there better).

Bubble and Squeek have been moved out of Isolation back to Welfare. Are they pleased about it? 

Bubble and Squeek

I think so.

This afternoon, Roxy started to make "Yoohoo" noises. To any available male. . . . 

I had wondered why she was not available. She must not have been desexed yet.

Her neighbours were not interested. The 2 remaining G boys didn't know what  she was talking about. And Bassuria as only ever had eyes for Julie.

Gruff says "What?"

 Where Penelope and Paulina were is a new kitten who is to be really friendly in his foster home. His name is Eric. He is so different to the P girls!

Bare balcony

 Again today! But, of course it was pouring down rain. So I put the second drying rack that never gets used underneath the usual clothes drying rack to try to keep the towels from trailing in the puddles on the surface of the balcony.

It might work   . . . . if the rain doesn't pour out of the sky as it did this afternoon. While I was out on the balcony I heard lots of noise from below. A large truck was parked outside the garage and a man was throwing bits of engines into the truck. He gave each bit a good look before tossing it in. 

Two cats were adopted. One from foster. And Valentina's Phoebe! The nice older couple from last week returned. She did the paperwork. He waited in the car downstairs because they didn't have the right wheelchair for him to come up. (He is a patient man. It takes ages to adopt from us). I carried Phoebe in her carrier (bought from us along with lots of toys and extras) and held her up to his window. Phoebe started talking to him. He answered her. I think they are going to be very happy together.

PC got another grooming session from me before that adoption. He didn't really enjoy it but he is a very tolerant cat.

A large pile of cotted tags.

At the end of the day David "socialized" the G kittens. If you remember what fraidy cats they were when they first arrived on Better Row, this is a huge improvement.

Gruff, Gideon, David

And Grayson climbs as well as a 4 legged cat. . . . .  when he is awake.

Grayson

Kitty let me pat her this afternoon. (Thanks to the efforts put in by a Friday vollie who stays back to socialize the more difficult cats.)

Kitty and me

And Miley shows her face more in the afternoon (when any visitor has left Safe.)

Miley

Check out the kitchen. There are fruity goodies. (Minus the mango that came home with me today.)

 Now, there's a good name for a cat!

 

 

No Lunch

 I wasted spent a lot of time this afternoon updating the vollie's name tags. The wee box that they live in has become very tight and most of the names in it are of vollies who have "retired". So I asked Rosanna for an updated list of vollies names and went through the box pulling out the uncurrent names and writing the new current names. It is amazing what a difference that has made to the number of cards that are current. But, if you can't find your name in the alphabetical sorting, go through the stack of cards at the back of the box. You may well still be there!

One adoption today to the woman who confessed to having visited 10 times before deciding whom she wanted to take home with her. David did the deed. They all went home happy. . . . see multiple social media posts. 

Pippa adopted

 Another visitor couple were looking for a kitten even though they are older. He is mostly in a wheelchair and she is lively. They liked Phoebe (Valentina's last wobbly kitten). Unfortunately they have a scheduled "away" time until Wednesday. But the probability of Phoebe still being available when they return is 95%.

Irene anticipates that 5 kittens will be adopted tomorrow. (Not including Phoebe.)

Georgie, the female G, went to be desexed today but did not survive the anaesthetic.  . . . something congenital. Rather like Grayson's missing back leg. The rest of the family is getting more relaxed and friendlier by the day.

Gideon (tabby with white on face), Gaia (Black & White), Gruff (brown tabby)

Including Grayson who can be picked up and cuddled medicated. 

 While on G kittens: I tried to clean up Gary who gets drops put into his ear twice a day. Of course, he shakes them out onto his divine ginger coat. I gave that coat a good wipe with damp paper towel this afternoon. It didn't do much good.

Gary

 Late this afternoon (when I checked that everybody had enough water to drink overnight) Lilli came out of her bed box. She is such a pretty cat with GREEN eyes.

Lilli

 And the new kittens who arrived on Wednesday are Caramel: tabby & white paws, Cheetah: tabby with white nose, Fluffy: DMH and, our named, Panther: black.

I have made two more hammocks to replace the ones that were thrown out from Nutmeg's enclosure.

 Bright enough?
