No chicken

 I left it on the kitchen bench. How could I do that to our lovely cats? Not to mention to Arc who was looking forward to sharing it out. So I went to the park up the street and picked grass much to the curiosity of a lady walking a mini poodle. She wanted to know why I was picking grass in her park and where I lived!

Lots of the cats recognised grass and were gratefull (eg Lola, Kenzie, Mia. . . )  Others couldn't figure out how to get their whiskers out of the way to eat it.

I apologise in advance to the vollies tomorrow who will have bits of dead grass as well as the occasional upchuck to deal with.

If you were wondering, like Joy, what happened to Saffron. . . . somebody in his old lady owner's family stepped up and took him into their home.

And if you were wondering which of Virgo's kittens are named Libra, Taurus, Aries, Gemini, Pisces and Scorpio. . . so was Katie. So I volunteered to check who was boy and who was girl. After picking up five boys because I knew that the calico had to be a girl, I doubted my ability to sex kittens. So Tim checked them and arrived at the same result: 5 boys and 1 girl. No wonder Virgo has lost her voice!

The above are Taurus, Aries, Gemini, Pisces and Scorpio.

Libra

While I was about it, I  checked Chia's kittens as well. The big fluffy black and white is a girl. She may get as large as Ernie the boarder! The other two black kittens are one of each gender, otherwise indistinguishable.

I was late

 I was late this morning because the washing machine man came. He has ordered the part that will keep the Safe washing happen.

I was certainly late to all the movement that happened over the weekend.

Rooms were rearranged:

Incoming which used to be the junk/store room:

Incoming

Opie's room which has a table for vollies to socialize or committee members to meet at:

Opie's room

Opie's room also stores Purina food and other things.

And Quarantine where the sick cats keep Tim and Katie company.

Quarantine

Cats have also been moved since the parvovirus seems to have moved away from us.

The mums and newborns who were around Tiger have been moved to boarding and named. There is Virgo with Taurus, Aries, Gemini, Libra, Pisces and Scorpio. And Chai with her Nutmeg, Cinnamon and Chilli. Let's hope these names are more appropriate than the Shakespeare names that were given to the kittens who were in the play place until most of Ruby's got adopted. (Just Topaz is left.) Now they are in the Palace. Today this bard's litter was weighed to see if they are near to desex weight. They are. And they are all female/tortie so half the names will need to be changed. But I noticed that their tummies were hard so I had to administer the deworming pills. They didn't mind.

This was after Katie heard Bissuria (who has been moved to Rosie and Callie's condo on Better Row because they have moved to Welfare as they are available) made up-chucking noises. She looked at the vomit and it was seething with worms! I donned gloves to remove the towel that he threw up on directly into the rubbish bin. They both got worming mixture immediately. (And refused to eat it, of course).

Bissuria

Better Row might have to have a name change to Black Row.

Miranda came from Quarantine.

Miranda

She is next door to Ella. . . don't know her history. Perhaps being above Mia is making her flat.

Ella

And Joni has been moved to the high condo which she seems to like.

Joni

In boarding is Pearl who was dumped on us by a bloke who didn't want her/couldn't keep her and wanted her put down. Bad man.
