Yahtzee adopted

 A mother came in to buy her son (grown up and in his own apartment) a cat for his birthday because his previous cat recently died. They were lovely. Irene sold them (on) Zahtzee. I think they will be very happy together. The mother is going to tell all her friends about us.

This is one of Joy's photos (as you can tell). Her others this week were mostly of our white cats:

We had Will out to run in the Top Cat in Welfare space this afternoon. He loves to chase anything. But I noticed that his claws keep getting caught on whatever he was chasing.  I managed to trim two on his right front paw. Feel free to try any of the others!

Rascal

 The plan is to have Boarding and Better Row emptied out before the boarding season starts at the end of November. What will happen to R & M? Will somebody foster them? I can recommend fostering. Aslan is very easy to live with and his poos are not as sloppy/smelly as they used to be.

 Because Goldie got adopted, Alex (male) was moved into her condo. Which left that enclosure empty. So Roxy and her three kittens moved into it, after I cleaned it. I cleverly positioned hammocks close to the ground so that the kittens wouldn't have to climb. Of course, the first thing they did was to scramble up as high as they could. Their names have been reverted to the first decided upon names: Riley, Rosie and Rachael. As they still don't have microchips only they know who is who.

 The empty stand alone by the door which used to house Licorice has a new black, female cat with a sparser patch of white fur on her chest. She came from a foster home and her name is Ravyn. But I think some folk might assume that Licorice has returned.

All clean

 Today, for the first time, there were no bags of dirty laundry left for other folk to take home. I just brought home one bag. The clean laundry shelves are all full. And a woman rang to ask if we would like more towels. (I said yes, please despite the full shelves today.)

Dawson seems happier in Welfare. He didn't have anything to say for himself this afternoon. But when he first moved to Boarding, he was quiet. So it may not last.

Goosy was out and about this afternoon. She was at the vet's on Wednesday. Must have had a good time because she doesn't usually come out of her sleeping box.

A young couple came to look at black cats. They liked the sound of Midnight on line but prefered Licorice in person. Licorice needs to go to the vet to have her gums looked at again. They were a bit inflammed when she went to be desexed. With any luck she will get the all clear and the lucky couple will have the black cat of their dreams. (They were both completely dressed in black and both black haired!)

We have a new occupant of Faith's condo. She has been called Kiki. She wasn't chatty this afternoon but perhaps she will catch Faith's chat.

Kiki

Rose might be adopted this weekend. She is almost ready.

And Sybie is still putting on weight with extra bottle feeds. Gotta love those blue eyes.

And, gotta love the Gymea lily at ground level. Probably the only chance we will ever get of being face to face with one.
