Bath time

 Cotton went to Collaroy Vet to be shaved this morning. Missed his breakfast.

Added to that insult, he had to have a bath when he got home.

"You are going to do what?!"

 

"Not only wet but soapy all over"

"Why put the soap on if you are just going to hose it off!"

"Now you are wiping off all the water!"

He was moved into Gracie's stand alone that I moved to be beside Monty's. The fluffy cats (real and potential) will be all adjacent until Monty gets picked up on Sunday. Cotton might have recovered from his Friday from Hell by then.

Persephone enjoyed a couple of walks. She doesn't like other cats but does like people cuddles and chasing a long wand.

 Thanks for the photos Robyn.  

And Toby came to my end of his couch for a pat last night. This morning he enjoyed his view.

Paris about to explode

 Not the one in France. The one in the Transit Lounge. All day she has been showing us her enormous tummy by standing up against the glass. She must have a lot of kittens in there. By this evening the bulge had moved further down and she had settled into her bed box area. We should have started a book on how many kittens there will be tomorrow morning. Looks like 10 to me.

Lots of new faces to replace the adopted ones. 

Johnny (adopted) has been replaced by Tweetie and Howie.

And Gracie is next to Peaches and Biscuit.

Biscuit and Peaches need to be adopted

And Monty has come from Collaroy vets to add to the fluffy cats. (He will when his hair grows back.)

Three kittens were adopted today. The two boys from the stand alone that was out back but was moved to next to Bassuria. Terry will be picked up on Saturday. And one of the A kittens. Artemis is all alone now.

Artemis

Looks like she is enjoying it.

 

 

Happy Catmas

Yesterday afternoon, Catsie and I went to Safe Haven because we felt guilty that we couldn't be there this morning (Christmas Day). It was a good thing that we did because Rod, the volunteer, wanted to get away and Tim had to go to the vet in Brookvale.

So we entertained the cats and tried to figure out the kittens.

Boarding is almost full of adults: some vocal, some cross, some shy, some needy but all lovely.

There is a new surrender, Wendell who is definitely pissed off. He is in a kitten sized condo so doesn't have much room to vent his spleen.

Wendell

I still don't know who is Kit Kat and who is Maggie. They are 9 years old and very friendly.

 Angelo and Annabelle

These two are Angelo and Annabelle (according to the condo signs). Easy to tell from the rear.

Arnie is the spotted  silver and Alex is the spotted brown. Both are asleep after much fun and games. Not so easy to tell.

Arnie and Alex

 There are now four Melody kittens (again). The fluffy one has reappeared with a shaved rear end. We decided that he should be called Mikado. Monty has more ticking that Mozart and so is greyer. It is easy to pick the fluffy Mikado.

Melody's kittens

Shivers is back with us for boarding. But he is in with "our" cats. His coat is looking splendid.

Shivers

At home for Christmas Day the family had a lovely time around the table while the dogs played in and out of the house and the cat, Cody, was shut in the quietest, downstairs room available.

Jessie of the green smile is just a bit ball obscessed
