Another ragdoll

This one, I don't know where he came from, is between 1 and 2 yo. He is a bit confused and hisses but is very happy to be made a fuss of. I thought he was a tortie because he as a gingerish blob on the back of his head. He has lovely blue eyes.

Shumai

Shumai are those dim sims that are open on top with pork inside and usually an orange garnish.

Shiba has had his name changed because Sheba is a girl's name and we only chose it because Shiba was written on the carrier he arrived in as well as his real name, Shifty. According to his microchip record, his original name was Saxon. . . . much better

Because I did a litter run and so arrived fairly late, there was no work for me to do so I worked on the shy cats. The girl H kittens are almost OK with pats but the boys are both skittish. 

I gave Buffy a good cuddle to check that she doesn't have any skin bumps after being on chicken for a week. . . . none felt and she seems much calmer/less famished. Fingers crossed. Her new person calls every week to know when she can come home. 

I played ball with Sienna but she didn't want to be patted. Diva is happy to be patted but is getting very thin while Sienna looks sleek and plump. Perhaps they should be separated.

Lynette was in the mood for pats. Her tail is really thick and rather short. She is shaping up well.

I met Bosley for the first time. What a charmer he is! He is from a colony in Cambelltown. I suppose he has been desexed (after maturation from the size of his head) but he is pretty roughed up with a scratched nose and smells a bit. I hope he does a Peanut and cleans himself up. He has an interesting set of vocalisations! And he is as friendly as he can be.

Jasmine is super friendly too. Get your cuddles in soon because she won't last long. She has a white spot on the tip of her nose that just begs to be kissed.

Home again

Maggie and Kit Kat went home today. Really home. To the people that they came from. Since they have been with us the parents have moved again to a place where they can have the cats and the daughter has returned from Canada and from Canberra where she was going to go to uni but Covid cancelled that plan. Hurrah for Covid!

Maggie and Kit Kat and Fi

Their owners only brought one cat carrier (borrowed from a neighbour). The cats inspected it, with their door open for a while and decided to stay in their condo. I offered to lend them another carrier which was good because while Maggie went into her's quite quietly, Kit Kat had to be inserted backwards. By this time they should be curled up on Fi's bed. It seems that Kit Kat learned to play with water in the house they had with a pool.

Just before this happy time, a women and her daughter surrendered Shiba (or Shifty but we have renamed him) -- a dearly beloved, 8 year old cat who is the collateral damage of a broken marriage. I suppose we should be happy that we don't get the small child.

The vet came with his nurse. They peered at, poked and jabbed almost everybody who needed it. They confirmed that Willow's kittens do have ringworm. They have been moved to the condo block next to the horror wall art with quarantine signs. They will be treated with anti-fungals in their food (but not by baths as was the practice at AWL). 

W-kittens in lock down.

The vet checked and passed lots of the cats who were waiting for clearance. So now Indy is available. Tim tried to get a good photo.

As is her neighbour, Tam.

 And Berry and Fizzy who are impossible to photograph because all they want is OUT or CUDDLES.

Berry

There is another new cat, now available, Jasmine. Her kittens were accepted by AWL but she wasn't. She is so beautiful that she could be called Bengalese.

Jasmine

Sootie was adopted on Wednesday afternoon. I took the phone call (Tim was next door feeding Angus at the time, I think) from a bloke who had been talking to Tim about either him or some other cat. He asked if he could come to visit that afternoon. I said Sure!

After we had finished the cleaning up, I asked Ros to give him extra loving to soften him up for a visitor. It worked!
