Piglet's new skill

 is standing on shoulders.

Tim's new skill is numbering enclosures.

The numbers start at Lola and Pixie on the wall away from the office closest to the line of AWL condos.

 And end at 36 where Salt and Pepper are finally coming out from behind the sheets.

Across the way is Rascal in 37 to Clover in 39. Roxie is in 40 across the gap with Julie and Bassuria beside her in 41. The old AWL condos start with Marcy and Indie in 21 with Cheeto below in 22 and end with Peanut (aka Princess) at the other end of the line in 29.

Upstairs Dinesh is in D3. I assume (didn't look) that Raphaella (on the other side of the door) is in D1, etc. Raven is in D7.

Across the aisle, S1 has a boarder, Olive who moved in today. She didn't take long to settle into a hammock. (Which shows bravery because most cats wouldn't have ever seen a hammock before).

Olive

Gideon is at the end of that row of enclosures in S5. This afternoon he was curled up so tight you couldn't see his ears.

Door charm

 Lola does like having all the junk moved off "her" table. In the mornings she sits there while waiting for her breakfast. I can't decide if she likes the sun on her back, the purring noise that the air makes as it is sucked through the door gap or the breeze that comes in. 

Of course, it might just be a good vantage point for her to track my progress towards her food bowl.

Irene asked me to weight Roxy's kittens today. The ginger, named Roo has always been the runt of that family and she is just over 1 Kg. Too light to be desexed. 

Roo, Ri. .  and Roxy

We decided that the champagne's names will be Riley and Rimi. . . or Ri until they get microchips and can be distinguished.  The two champagnes are almost heavy enough. They are both girls and are identical. We tried very hard to seen some difference but couldn't. So one in the photo suffices.

This afternoon I noticed that Chester's door was open. He wasn't in his box. We found him pretty quickly crouching under the cleaning trolley in Welfare. He ran straight back into his stand alone.

Chester

 I am sure that Alex could have told me where he was, if s/he deigned to talk to a person. (We couldn't find the paperwork to find out whether Alex is a male or female). His/her cage mate  Olive was adopted on Saturday. She would have told us.

Alex

Also adopted on the weekend were Choc and Chip. And they are likely to be returned this week because Choc is too shy. BUT WE TOLD THEM! (Some people don't deserve our cats).

I am sure that the nice man who adopted Goldie this afternoon will be happy with her. 

The Planet kittens have been moved out of Isolation. They are in the Palace until Teddy moves elsewhere.

Still here!

 Fugu is still with us. He was supposed to be picked up on Thursday morning. I left a message for his owner to come get him tomorrow morning. He is not happy being confined. . . even in a Palace.

Fugu

Heffer was happy because her visitor came this afternoon to groom and smooch with her.

Heffer's visitor

 He would have got into her condo if he could. He did spend a bit of time with her old cage mate, Ginger.

But Dawson was the one who lucked out. The woman who bought something from us on line and chose a free scratchy pole and something else came to collect her loot. She paid for what she bought and then had a look around. Dawson appealed to her so I drew up the poof and opened the door. It was love at first . . . not sight because he is blind. . . . perhaps at first smell. They cuddled and smooched. Unfortunately she has 3 cats at home who are from the same litter so he wouldn't be welcomed. (By the cats or her husband).

Dawson's favourite person

Will's name card has changed to blue. I put in a rainbow for him to celebrate with. 

Will

His neighbour Olive has two clients interested in her. One might have come this afternoon (but didn't). The other is definitely coming first thing tomorrow morning to collect her and take her north.

Olive

A new cat arrived late this afternoon. . . . Chai. She came with meds so had something done. I took a quick photo and quickly showed Tim. He said that bloody saliva is normal after a dental procedure. Not a happy cat but will be on "wet food only". 

Chai

But Tommy is still the unhappiest cat.

Whats with the bovine names?

 There are two new cats on Better Row named Moo Moo and Humphrey!

It is easy to tell the Moo Moo is the girl because she is a calico. Unless they named a girl Humphrey!

They are next door to Yantzee plus three how have moved out of Isolation. There used to be four kittens but one was not well last week.  

Yantzee + 3

In fact, Isolation now only houses the remaining three Planet kittens.  Even Peaches has moved to Welfare. She doesn't look so happy about it despite hating it in Isolation.

Peaches

 New next to Julie and Bassuria (who were fighting today!) is Alex and Olive.  . . . . . she is a black olive. Don't know where they came from. They are shy.

Alex and Olive

And they are next to loud Will who has scratched his eye. We suspect that some vollies are giving treats to cats even though they have "Special Diet" on their condos. 

It is not surprising to think that  a special diet would include treats! Perhaps we should change to a sign "Exclusive diet" or "Restricted diet" instead.

Will

Inappropriate treats may be the reason that Julie and Bass are fighting.

I am ready for the traditional September kitten season having sewn a new litter of Elizabethan collars.

It was wonderful that Robin came to visit today. 

And that Maple and Benny got adopted (at 3:40. . . . I almost did a Terry!)
