No chicken

 I left it on the kitchen bench. How could I do that to our lovely cats? Not to mention to Arc who was looking forward to sharing it out. So I went to the park up the street and picked grass much to the curiosity of a lady walking a mini poodle. She wanted to know why I was picking grass in her park and where I lived!

Lots of the cats recognised grass and were gratefull (eg Lola, Kenzie, Mia. . . )  Others couldn't figure out how to get their whiskers out of the way to eat it.

I apologise in advance to the vollies tomorrow who will have bits of dead grass as well as the occasional upchuck to deal with.

If you were wondering, like Joy, what happened to Saffron. . . . somebody in his old lady owner's family stepped up and took him into their home.

And if you were wondering which of Virgo's kittens are named Libra, Taurus, Aries, Gemini, Pisces and Scorpio. . . so was Katie. So I volunteered to check who was boy and who was girl. After picking up five boys because I knew that the calico had to be a girl, I doubted my ability to sex kittens. So Tim checked them and arrived at the same result: 5 boys and 1 girl. No wonder Virgo has lost her voice!

The above are Taurus, Aries, Gemini, Pisces and Scorpio.

Libra

While I was about it, I  checked Chia's kittens as well. The big fluffy black and white is a girl. She may get as large as Ernie the boarder! The other two black kittens are one of each gender, otherwise indistinguishable.

Jolene is boarding

 Her new owner picked her up as planned but then a pipe burst in her apartment so Jolene is staying with us for a week while it is fixed. The vollies were overjoyed. She got lots of cuddles. She wears a very fetching pink collar which matches her ears.

This morning a couple arrived to look at Prada (adopted over the weekend), Milo and Baloo who walked straight into their hearts. Their 20year old cat died late last year and they were ready to fall in love. Baloo was IT. They got the urinary problems are common in cats especially in highly (in-)bred ones lecture and went away very happy.

Baloo last week

We have a new B cat who lives where Tiger used to be: ie beside Biscuit and above Bissie. She came from a vet where there were barking dogs and she attacked the vet nurses. She seems as sweet as she can be with us. Her back end is bronzed.

Bella

Because Baloo vacated the stand alone, Maxwell moved in. He came into quarantine with rampant ring worm but is all good now. He likes to chat. All you have to do is look at him and he will talk to you.

Salazar is settling into his AWL condo slowly. The vet decided that he has a dicky heart as well as a warty chin. He wouldn't survive chin surgery. We should offer him to somebody who wants a fragile but super-loving cat to foster.

Salazar

Saffron has moved into Salazar's old digs above Bassuria and Julie. He looks somewhat overwhelmed. His owner visited over the weekend and is adamant that we not "give him away" to anybody else. He is still boarding with us.

Milo has a funny toe.
