Chicken makes purrs?

 Jellybean has the BEST purr even though he looks shy. Perhaps it was chicken induced.

The three Incoming kittens have names:

Loki is the ginger, Lexi has a black nose  and Amelia has a white nose. Lexi and Amelia are tuxedos.

When I went to Isolation to give afternoon teas, Cordelia was standing on one hammock while grooming India while China watched from above. (Those hammocks should be thrown away when the family has been cleared of ringworm.)

We had expected a rush on Monte Carlo, Mont Blanc and Souffle this afternoon. But they haven't been added to the available list because their incision lines (from desexing) look a bit grungy and swollen.  I hope there is not a chorus of complaint tomorrow for Terry to deal with.

LeClerc is enjoying his role as le door clerk.

More names needed

 I got to the cattery before the Willoughby collection. So gleefully planned schlepping out bags to fill others bins. But, the trolley was obstructed by boxes and bags of litter so I decided that I would wait for the Cousins bins. Which we did before lunch. And the Willoughby bins were still not emptied. They were by the time that I left. But even though the store room had been somewhat cleared, I decided not to get out the trolley into the pouring rain. Sorry tomorrow. There are bags on the balcony.

We had 3 lots of adopters this afternoon. One couple came to adopt Bear. They had been in on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Initially they wanted George because he is grey like their previous, much beloved cat. But George is Shy and Bear is liquidly loving. They did the paperwork despite a computer malfunction. They will collect him on Monday because they are going away this weekend.

The next couple had been before as well. They are in love with Ryan of Lilly's litter in Enclosure 3 (the one out of which 5 kittens explode at every meal time). But somebody else has bagsed him . . . if we have the correct kitten. They don't have microchip numbers in the computer so it is difficult to tell them apart from the tiny photos. This couple will return.

The final couple came to look at George. Of course Bear came up for cuddles. I showed them other kittens. They were entranced. I showed them adults. They were enthusiastic. They decided that an adult would suit them better and had trouble deciding between Shadow and Luma. Shadow was very friendly.

But Luna was loving. So they chose her. Done! I think it is a very good match for all three of them.

In the meantime, Claire took photos and videos in Incoming. She has named the six fluffy kittens in the stand alone:

Fluffy tabby (white diamond): Choux

Fluffy tabby with white moustache: Souffles (with a grave on the e)

Fluffy tabby: Mont Blanc

Fluffy tabby with left beauty spot: Brulee

short hair tabby: Kingston

tabby, short hair and orange: Monte Carlo

 The last kitten is probably a calico so is female. Perhaps she can be Monte Carla.

 Peache's kittens are all well and have moved to Incoming to Shadow's condo. They don't quite know how to jump up the levels. They are used to scrambling up the wires of the stand alone or swinging up the hammocks. They need Peachy names.

Aziza's girl kittens have been desexed. So next weekend should be a bumper adoption weekend. And there is still an Adom.

You can tell from the quality of the photos the Joy is back. Hurrah!
