All quiet until. . . . .

 After chicken time. Everybody enjoyed their tiny taste. And Virgo got to lick the bowl. She stuck her face in it and would not let any of her kittens push her out of the way. Her need was greater than theirs.

And then a mum arrived with four of her five children. They had definite ideas on who they wanted to look at. . . Samson. And knew the routine because they adopted Ashley last August. Of course, Samson is out the back and they had to go past Virgo and her kittens which was a distraction for the little girls. But the boys both lusted after Samson. 

Since she has adopted  from us before, she is in the system and has had all the print outs and instructions before. So it was the quickest adoption ever. The biggest girl got to carry Samson off in their carrier. . . with one leg in a removable cast and the other foot in a sneaker with it's laces floating over the floor. I hope they made it to the car without incident. They will change Samson's name because Ashley's was changed. Ashley is ginger and white.

At the same time, Tim and Katie arrived with Tim's mum to collect his cats after their Brisbane jaunt. Couldn't find their cat carriers. Eventually Katie spotted them in the condo below. Lola called and called to Tim's mum. She came from an older lady so must have spotted a kindred spirit.

In the midst of this Geoff arrived to learn that Chia's kittens chewed another hole in their cat mesh last night. The manufacturers sent a patch kit after he reported the first hole on Wednesday. It will do for the second hole that Arc cleverly covered with a loose cat carrier door. The kittens will have trouble chewing their way through the metal. But I think these kittens might be moved and somebody else moved into that condo.

As I was busy when I usually take a photo, here is a gratuitous photo of Cody whom I adopted some years ago.

PS Vicky tells me that Ginger George and I will appear on Tic Toc this weekend. Imagine!

One new bin collected

 The cardboard recycle bin was still full when I left this afternoon but the other trash bin was empty. So we now have 3 rubbish bins. Bliss.

Maeve was adopted earlier in the week. A woman adopted from us a year or two ago and then had a stroke and had to give her cat back to us. She is now all ready for another cat to love. Maeve will be perfect as she only wants somebody to sit beside to purr to.

Pearl would like somebody to purr to too. She is still in the heavenly condo. And Samson has moved in below her. He has come from his foster home because they are going away, on holiday. He looks very big for 6 months!

Pearl, the photogenic
Virgo's kittens love the play place. I cannot imagine having a litter of kittens at home. They would be all over the place at full speed constantly, unless asleep in a pile.
Virgo's lot play
Ronnie and Jagger learned to climb and jump in the play place too. Ronnie likes scaling the opened-out Top Cat to get on top of the condos. But he is very easy to get down because he is exceedingly fond of food.
His highness Ronnie

Luigi, Princess and Maria have moved into the main room because Hank has developed flu like symptoms. They were wheeled in their stand alones. Here they are exploring the Top Cat. They soon found the way under the stand alone to explore further. Maria was the hardest to corner. But we did it, with food in a carry cage.
Luigi out, Princess soon out
And we have Cookie, Muffin and Venus next to Chia et al. One of them spent all day tucked up in the modesty sheet. They are not allowed out.
