Adoption Tails: Fluffy and Little Monster

 Fluffy and Little Monster

1 day: Fluffy and Little Monster have settled in very well. They are eating well and using their litter tray. Monster is more confident and enjoys pats with everyone, loves to be on anyone's lap. Fluffy is a little more reserved but still happy. He likes pats and being picked up and rocked. They both love looking out the window and will wake the owner up in the morning to open up the blinds in the room so they can start bird watching. Monster has taken quite a shine to the owner's dad and loves being on his lap. They will be keeping their names. The owners all love them so much and Monster and Fluffy seem very happy and comfortable. Monster's nails need clipping which the owner is a little nervous for but she is very good natured. "They have already brought such joy to my family and we look forward to many happy years with them."

 

1 week: Monster and Fluffy are so good! Both settled very well and seem comfortable and happy with their new humans. Monster is still much more outgoing and attention seeking while Fluffy prefers a nice sunny spot to nap (but he still likes getting pats and cuddles). Monster will spread her time evenly between mum's lap, dad's lap and the owner's lap so none will get jealous! The family is so happy with them and cannot imagine life without them.

Mum's turn

 

1 month: Monster and Fluffy are great. Everybody is super happy, the cats get lots of attention and pats and cuddles all day. Fluffy is a snooze-a-holic. Monster is more playful and outgoing and loves being on a lap or chasing a ping-pong ball.

Robyn reports: 

Of course they completely rule the house! Basically Monster progresses from one one lap to another throughout the day, as well as an assortment of beds. 

 Fluffy's favourite spot is lying in front of the TV. 

 Kathy says Monster is super smart, loves to play and not happy about the neighbour's cat coming over. 

Fluffy is not too sure what to do with toys and enjoys afternoon naps with Kathy's mum. 

They managed to escape over a gate when Kathy's mum wasn't watching which was a big scare but they did come back -- Fluffy took half an hour! 

 

So she bought them an outdoor tent/ tunnel thing. The pic is only part of it.

Life is good.

Ruby RIP

 It was noticed that Ruby was breathing with difficulty yesterday so she was taken to the vet instead of the three C's in the play place who are overdue to be desexed. When Dr Chris examined her he found a lump in her abdomen, had trouble with the anesthetic so X-rayed her to find that her lungs were riddled with cancer. The abdominal mass was cancerous as well. It was kindest to put her to sleep. We can console ourselves with the thought that her time with us must have been sweet compared to life on the streets. And her son Simon is safely adopted.

Fluffy went to the vet too as he was thought to be sluggish on Thursday and Robyn's friend wanted to adopt him. He came back with a clean bill of health. And Robyn and her friend Kathy came this afternoon to adopt him and Little Monster. (I have such an aversion to that name that I can never remember it. I had to check Shelter Buddy just now and I did the adoption this afternoon!) I think Kathy should change her name to Monica and his name to Flavian.

Kathy bought two harness with leads so that "Monica" can get out for walks and so that "Flavian" doesn't miss out either. To demonstrate/try out the ones for sale, I put one on Ginger George who was sitting on one of our two visitor chairs, supervising the adoption (Robyn had to sit on the poof). 

Ginger George's chair

He graciously allowed me to harness him and obediently walked out through the door into Incoming and back to his chair. What a star!

Robyn sent photos just now to show how well they are settling in:

"Monica" on Kathy's lap and "Flavian" finding his comfort zone

An hour and a half later she has "taken over the house":

A granny came to do the paperwork for Pavarotti who is in foster. I shut the granddaughter in the play place with the C kittens while we did the deed. She needed to be pried out of there when we finished. He will be a happy cat.

Robyn's photos are from Wednesday (as I forgot to take any today). She had time to take them while Kathy was falling in love with "Monica" and "Flavian".

Maeve returns

 Geoff brought her back. He dismantled the chest of drawers that she was hiding behind, sat beside her quietly for a little while, picked her up and put her in his small carrier. The woman who adopted her is in hospital with a cat bite. She has had lots of experience with cats, possums and bandicoots but has never been bitten before. 

By Maeve! 

Our purrball Maeve! 

Perhaps Maeve really wanted to be back with us and this was the only way she could manage it.

Geoff decided that some of the back cats should have a wander while he did the feeds tonight as the usual suspects had a fine time out this afternoon. Maxwell was out in front. He settles down on top of Ginger George's stand alone after a short stretching walk.

Thelma and Louise ventured out but popped back into their condo when anybody approached.

I really must find out who is who.

Geoff was going to give Pearl a wander as well as she is food motivated. Ginger Meggs is still not interested. There are two new cats on the other side of Gingi: Little Monster and Fluffy. No prizes for guessing who is who in this bonded pair!
