New faces

 Of cats. The vollies are fairly stable now. But 13 cats were adopted last week so there are new ones and ones who have moved. Like Rosie who has moved, at last, from Transit Lane to Phoenix's stand along. She sneezed frequently today. (Her usual reaction to change).

Rosie

 Across the aisle below Mia, is Pickles who had splatters on her glass. Perhaps she has the same sneeze reaction to movement.

Pickles

Mia has dark (?bloody) splatters on her condo walls and glass which look old and dried blood. This changing weather makes for sniffles.

Next to Rosie are a new pair of kittens (only one black this time) who were left by Vivienne who was very sad to leave them with us. They are Freckles and Speckles. The black one is Freckles. Speckles has tiny clusters of black hairs in the white.

 Johnny is where Chanel was. She lasted less than a week in "the" stand-alone.

 Out the back are the S big kittens one of whom has some kind of crusty lesion on his nose. Irene suspects ringworm so we moved the litter into Isolation. The nose has a condo of her own. The other two are together. They are all black and very fluffy. Their names got confused: they are Spelt, Spirit and Spook.

 

 

Dumped

 Firstly, news of Cleo. She seems to be doing well.

Secondly, we have our New Year lucky black cat, Johnny. Don't know if Johnny is a boy or a girl. S/he was delivered yesterday by some people who said that they didn't want her and then left! S/he, of course, is shattered. I just hope that this is not the start of a trend. Or we will have to frisk folk at the door for hidden cats to smuggle in.

Joni is getting used to her new digs. She came out of her cat carrier when there was a visitor this afternoon and almost smiled.

The visitor wants a cat to fill her empty nest as her two teenaged sons are off to ANU soon. She has a 14 year old King Charles spaniel who is a sook. She wants an older cat. I tried not to push Ginger George too hard at her but he did behave beautifully flopping at her feet. But she also liked Libby (what is not to like when she is awake). She will be back tomorrow with her strong minded friend who owns a carrier.

He needs to loose the Cattitude sign.

A neighbour couple came to visit. The man was very comfortable with cats. He picked up Ginger George and rolled him onto his back. I wouldn't be so bold. But no blood was spilled.

Dexter is boarding. Remember how miserable he looked when he first came to us. . . . all mangey. Then he was grumpy and bored in his stand alone. He is quite charming now.

Jasmine and her kittens are still in the play place. The kittens seem to have got over the STARVING stage so she is not so desperate for food either. Makes it easy for the vollies to go in to play with them.

Jasmine

Piglet was hiding when Robyn took these photos on Wednesday.

PS: Apropos the title: Jolene, I am told, doesn't like to use her litter box when there are people around. She was looking very swollen in the tummy this afternoon. But should be slim by the morning.
