Prueless Wednesday

 I  swapped with Tim and Katie for Friday to let them go to a concert. But Joy was there and sent photos.

Still raining

 The rain caused traffic havoc that delayed two vollies and stopped another vollie's car from starting. It also kept away the person who was going to come to choose an older cat. But the bloke who adopted Max dropped by with his paperwork (rather damp. . . both him and the paperwork). He said that he and Max were getting on very well. Max was leaning against his leg and purring so he put his hand down to give Max a pat on the head and chomp. He ended up in hospital on IV antibiotics. He didn't see any cats that he fancied today. . .. . once bitten, etc.

But Max has gone to Katie's for a break. Juliet has moved into the Palace to await her Romeo. She may be moved to Jackie's condo if we can persuade a nice person to foster her for a while to see if she gets better in a home. She cries a lot in the cattery. And there is no room in Boarding for Juliette. It is fully booked for the school holidays. Luigi and Bambi are coming in. And Daphne (now known as Tilly) is in residence. She seemed very pleased to see us.

Daphne/Tilly

Ginger was in the play place when I arrived. He was very chatty. Just like he is in his condo. His ringworm treatment is finished and he has been declared cured.

We put a couple of the boarders in for a play, not together. Tip loved it. (He has a white tip on his tail). Mayka and Daphne/Tilly were not thrilled.

Tip

Sunny refused it. Or maybe it was the gloves.

At the end of the day we wheeled in the Coffee shop kittens and they settled right in. By tomorrow morning they will be all played out.

The best thing to happen was that Vicki scrubbed the snot off the inside of Star's stand alone. You can now see the kittens without opening the door (which risks an escapee kitten, usually the ginger.)

And we had a rainbow array of scoops.

Ginger Express

There was a superfluity of day managers this afternoon: Tim, Irene, Katy and me. I busied myself filling the laundry shelves. They are full. I might have to relocate the feeding puzzles on the bottom shelf under the handtowels. . . . next week. Belle's kittens are no longer in quarantine. They are back where they were, above Ashleigh. While I fed Ashleigh some chicken, they tried to pat my hair with their paws. The idea is to get Ashleigh comfortable enough to take the food from my fingers, so I have to lean in to the back of her sleeping shelf because she backs herself into a corner. Which puts my head at the perfect patting place for Belle's kittens. They don't need to be enticed to be patted. Since Wednesday Skylar and Scooter have been adopted (the littlest kittens). We cleaned their condo and moved the Japanese family in there. They, being grey, will probably go over the weekend. Mimi won't have noisy downstairs neighbours for long.

Then I cleaned the quarantine condos, again. I really will put my headlamp into my glovebox for next time. Finished that job, I started to hand out chicken. Daisy wouldn't eat it. Mako wanted cuddles before chicken. Romeo ate it out of the bowl. I still haven't seen Juliet (or is it vice versa). I got around the corner and had a lovely head scrunching with Silky (!) and a stand off with Ebony (as usual) when Tim declared that he was off to collect cats. I'll go, says I. You have more important stuff to do. I picked up Magnus who has had his eyelid stitches removed.

He made a few comments on the way home. And Caesar who had three teeth removed including a canine. He will be on soft food for a few days. While I was gone, Daisy got adopted by the perfect woman for her. They will snuggle and love each other forever. Katy did the adoption. Daisy and her new owner are both camera shy.

Laundry redo

Firstly, Katy sent photos of Suki whom she is looking after lovingly at home.

I arrived late because my morning tennis was rained off after I left home. I went home and made another hammock. When I arrived I suggested that the laundry shelves be rearranged to put all the winter woolies together. Tim said that he would prefer that the dishes be moved to the shelves in the feeding area. So I suggested that the hand towels be swapped with them. So now we have (from right to left) first bay: top shelf face towels/washers, second shelf: hammocks on top of the modesty cloths and bath mats on the right. I later moved the dirty clothes bags from the top shelf to above the dirty clothes baskets on the feeding shelves.

Second bay: cuddles and small blankets

Third bay is all towels.

Fourth bay (next to the tall bookshelf) has big blankets on the bottom shelf, just in case we need to wrap a person in a blanket. Sheets, doona covers, etc which are good for draping over a wheely cage on the second bottom shelf. Very big towels on the top shelf with space there for . . . . .

And I moved all the bowls, each of which was a different size, to the top shelf of the food shelves where the hand towels used to be. They fit very snuggly. But, of course, when more are added the space occupied will expand exponentially unless there is a organising nazi is involved. (I mention no names). How long will this splendid organisation last? In the meantime, I made myself popular by handing out bits of BBQ chicken. Even Mako, the uncle of the Japanese kittens below was seduced. Before:

After chicken (at dinner time):

I fed Silky's kittens last and they got to lick out the chicken container. While they were licking, I picked each one up and give each one a good cuddle whether they wanted it or not. They might get adopted tomorrow.

We got two new cats today: Romeo and Juliette/Juliet. One is very shy, the other is more outgoing. Neither wanted anything to do with chicken.
