Wrong names

 I have been confused. I will go back and correct previous blogs.

Poe is the big boy who has been desexed. Peppa is the little girl who doesn't get her share of food.

Peppa (L) and Poe (R)

Plus, Simba is the 8 year old, tabby male and Khandi is the grey tabby, 2 year old girl

Simba, 8 yo boy

Khandi, 2 yo girl

I know this because Irene came by this afternoon with a kitten to be microchipped and vaccinated. She knows everything about every(cat)body.

Tommy and Mia's kittens, Bonnie (tortie girl) and Lemmy (white and grey boy) have been moved to above where Khandi and Simba were before they moved out and Peach moved in. They are both heavy enough to be desexed and are high up.

Bonnie and Lemmy

Peach seems to have recovered from her move or was she exhausted by her upstairs neighbours.

Beauty, yet another black cat in residence has the most amazing eyes. They are both amber and green now that she is relaxed enough to look at you.

And Duke's eye operation seems to be successful. He can blink his right eye now. He is such a sweetie.

Team Terrific

 The combination of a terrific team of workers, no visitors, the computer down and very few phone calls meant that I had an easy day. I even left my camera a home so can use some of Joy's lovely snaps.

Diego

Diego gets lots of Joy snap time. He is holding a pink ping pong ball ready to hit it back to her. He is getting friendlier by the week. As is his mum, Remi.

Simba and Khandi have moved to a double in Boarding. Much better except that they are below Poe and Peppa who get fed more often than they do. Poe is much younger than Peppa who got desexed yesterday. She has a touch of the flu and doesn't like Babycat. So you have to hang over them while they eat to make sure that she gets a fair share. Simba and Khandi follow each mouthful, almost. They are always hungry.

Wanda doesn't like Babycat either. She is as thin as she can be with five kittens feeding on her. So I spent the day feeding her small meals of various tins with a bit of raw meat to encourage her to eat.

Wanda + 1

Her adopted kittens (the first lot that she rejected before she gave birth, sensibly) can climb out of the sleeping room. Her ginger can too but he looks like he has a touch of the flu. At one stage today, the big three were "out" with "mum" and ginger boy was lying back with his head on the tiny grey's tummy.

Violet and her kittens have gone to a foster home. In her condo are three street cats. We are expecting a fourth. They are Gloria's kittens. All torties, so far. And smart enough to be frightened.

Gloria's three

 

Valentine is out in the main room ready to be adopted. In her place is Ruby, another older cat who wonders where on earth she is but is prepared to greet any person with purrs and rubs.

Big nights for the M's

 Mayka had her big night last night. She got out of her stand alone during the afternoon and led her staff on a merry dance to try to get her back into it. They gave up evenutally and left a litter tray out for her and delicious food inside the stand alone. When I arrived, opened the front door to let the stink dissapate and walked towards the verandah door to open it, I noticed that her cage doors were open and she was nowhere in sight. I moved very quickly to close the front door! 

Eventually I found her behind her stand alone, snuggled down on a Safe T-shirt. I tried to grab her to throw her back in but she bit me but good and ran off to hide somewhere in the main cattery. The vollies spotted her under the small table at Casper's end. We stuffed that with towels and put something utterly delicious in a carry cage. No way was she going to fall for that. 

When Geoff arrived we leaned on his WIRES expertise and she lead us a merry dance. At one stage she was behind the merchandise shelves between the back screen and the wall. . .. a space of all of 2 cm. She hunkered down below the trolly next to Max and we struggled to corner her and Geoff managed to squish her (evidently cats can squish safely) and got her back into her stand alone. He has a hole in his cat proof gloves as well as in his finger for his efforts. We NEED more bandaids.

Mayka not happy to be home

Of course, Max had watched all this drama. So when things settled down, we decided that he deserved a quiet place and I wheeled him into the freshly fogged play place where Trixie had spent the night. He took his time to get out of his stand alone. (The wires seem to confuse him. Perhaps he is short sighted). But once "FREE" he happily found a good place to curl up. I joined him at lunch time and he came out of hiding to quietly be with me and to explore after which he happily went back to his good place and went  to sleep. He will have a lovely time there tonight.

He didn't say a word through the entire process. Perhaps because we had a family brought in by a fosterer. (She kept one of her "lot" for a little longer). Included is Tommy who didn't shut up. He is an entire male so he pongs as he sings.

Tommy

His lady love, Mia is in Incoming with their two kittens Bonnie and Lemmy.

The fosterer also brought in Peppa and Poe who may be related to Tommy. They are both tuxedos and 4-6months old sweeties.
