Litter delivery

I did another run to Arundel Park after tennis this morning. I have changed my TomTom to avoid toll roads. It didn't take any longer to get there as it did last time when I went via all the toll roads possible. The little car doesn't go as fast on the way back with 20 bags on board.

But Tim and the work experience student did the heavy lifting to get the bags upstairs.

When I arrived Charlie and Shivers were having Time Out, ie a good time out of the condo. Charlie looks much more handsome (if that is possible) while being a gracious host to all visitors. Shivers just wants to play, or sit on the printer which is his safe place.

Later Peanuts came out. He and Shivers are about the same size but Peanuts is probably younger but the vets don't agree on how much younger. They don't get on particularly well. They parallel play: just like toddlers.

Then Jimmy had a turn. He is a charmer with his riveting gaze. He loved to be brushed and let me know how much.

It seems that we have another foster fail. The folk who volunteered to foster the pug want to adopt. Sigh.

Royal Visit

Tim visited Prince and Rajah. He reports that they are happy and more comfortable. They were in the same area as the rather wild kittens that Tim went to pick up. While the kittens were being chased and caught they ran right over Prince and Rajah in their bed. The regal oldies were not disturbed.

I didn't see the new kittens as we were three to clean up this morning. I took advantage of the extra time to give Kimmy, Kitty and Scarlet a thorough brushing. They loved it. And were much calmer after the extra attention. Perhaps all that loose hair itches or wriggles.

Kitty and her ex coat

We have a new three year old. Narla is very like my Puffin but is completely black. Puffin was grey near her skin.. . . not that I got close enough to part Narla's coat.

Shivers has his collar off and seems much brighter. The vet is happy to leave his lumpy tummy alone for the moment. Another, wait and see what happens case. Just like Peanuts. The vet can't decide whether he has been desexed but not microchipped (unlikely) or has two undescended testicles (very unlikely). So we will wait and see. Peanuts also enjoyed the extra attention I gave him. So much so that I trimmed his nails because lots of loving is never enough and he tends to hold on tight if you try to move away from him. (No photo because he doesn't look any less cream and black rather than white and black. He still needs a bath).

Shivers

Still here

Gypsie is on hold until her new person/family gets all the things that she will need delivered via the Internet. What she really needs it to be in a loving home. . . forget the accessories. . . . cuddles will do.

Gypsie

There is a tentative date to pick her up on Oct 30. 
In the meantime, she enjoyed her grass munching. 

I get the feeling on Friday afternoons after Sandy has done a splendid job cleaning everybody up, that the cats see me as a grass distribution mole. Blossom leads the chorus. She has a brush in her condo. While she ate her grass, I brushed two full brushloads of fur from her.

 The chorus of "Me, me, meow" by the Kitty/Kimmy/Scarlet chorus does not quite overpower the Charlie MEEEEEEEEEE.

Bailey was more interested in smooching than anything else. And Little Ging loves grass but is not still sure that people are worthwhile. His sister, Diva is all about the cuddles.

Peanuts is slowly getting to be a black and white cat rather than a cream and black cat. If we gave him a bath he would achieve tuxedo status quicker. Anybody want to give a cat a bath?

Jewell is very vocal. Tim and I decided that she is on heat. . . . AGAIN
