Goodbye Pishi

 She was adopted today . . . . at long last.

Pishi
So was one of the D kittens, Dougie. He has gone to be a young playmate for two female, 2 year old cats.

 And Peaches went to a foster home. So Biscuit has moved downstairs into her stand alone. (One less to clean was a win!)

Which means that upstairs is looking very light on cats. Only Cathy and Fifi (whose stay was extended) are boarding.

Fifi (who is a boy) 

Lou has come back from the vets. She didn't have ringworm.

 That leaves Bree and Raphaella and Albert who has moved into Gideon's enclosure. But as he is all black and hiding you can't see him.

Raphaella

no see Albert

And Lola. Who was lying on her back on a bit of electrical equipment on the windowsill this morning.

Down stairs we have a new Truffle and Oreo. They are next to the old Oreo.

I don't know if this is the new Truffle or Oreo. One of them is very, very shy. The other one is the front man.

Our Turtle bumped his nose today.

Maybe Fox did it.

Piglet's new skill

 is standing on shoulders.



Piglet

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.

How's it going

 I photographed every cat at Mona Vale today. You can tell by their faces how they are coping.

Leo fostered

 A woman arrived this afternoon to take Leo home. Irene told her exactly how to settle him into his new place. She advised moving everything he would need into the walk in closet. Forget about him wanting to look out of the window for a month or so. Leo was enticed into a carrier and taken away. A little later the fosterer rang to say that he was happily ensconced in the closet and all was good. Long may that last! 

We have more kittens in the stand alone by the Welfare door. One is a very pretty boy with champagne colouring, blue eyes and one grey foot and a black and white striped tail! Lots of outbreeding there. Tim suspects some ragdoll genes. I did take some photos of them. But my camera is playing up. And my phone accidentally upgraded itself to beyond my comprehension. So I will have to get my very young relatives to sort me out over Xmas. Until then, Irene sent a photo of the 4 new kittens in Incoming. They are very tame.  . . ie are prepared to explode out of the door as soon as it is opened. 

There is a new cat named Hunter above Goosey. He is a honey. 

And Tim moved Calli to Bissie's condo. (The rest of us were not brave enough to try it. But she went like a lamb in his hands (gloved) towards an extra piece of chicken.) 

Charlie came in and adopted one of her foster kittens who had been moved next to Roxy and her newly desexed kittens. The mum is traumatised by her move from  what she believed was her forever home. The kittens seem to be divided into "don't care" / "on Mum's side" camps. They will sort it out. And Charlie will be happy with her new kitten.

Sharon was worried about Georgie whom she fosters. Georgie is very clever and spits out her thyroid pills despite Sharon's efforts at disguising them. A vet visit was arranged. Georgie may, or may not, come in to board next week.  

I will use up Joy's photos from last week:
