More food

 What a good thing I put away (ie moved out of the passageway) the bags of food that cluttered Better Row on Wednesday. Because today a nice man arrived with trolley loads of boxes of Fancy Feast! His cat declined to eat it. A pallet full must be cheaper than a box at a time from Woolies. Shortly thereafter I observed Geoff's grooming technique on Tommy. Tommy loves Geoff's technique. That pile of fluff in the foreground is all the snarly bits from behind his ears and down his spine.

Spruced up Tommy

 Geoff wanted to reward Tommy by letting him play in the Top Cat tonight. Which means that he had to offer to move the piles of boxes of Fancy Feast. He may still be there moving them out of Tommy's play place way. Tim in is tomorrow to restore all to normal. Shawna will enjoy observing what is going on from her corner condo.

Talking of "normal." The linen shelves are abnormally full of towels. We have been declining donations of sheets, pillowcases, cat beds, etc, etc. Finally the message has been heard and we are full of towels. (Notice the empty spot where the blankets used to be. They are in the community bin).

 

Sooty had her first go in the Top Cat after Sparkie had a happy time there (with Sooty watching and, hopefully, learning). It took a while. And Charlie below was (?) encouraging.

Sooty and Charlie

A lady came to find a cat to go with her two boy cats who are having dominance issues. She also has 2 kids and a husband who doesn't like cats. She chose Moonlight 1. because she is a girl and will take over command of the felines of her house and 2. because Moonlight is a tuxedo and she has always lusted after a tuxedo cat. Could have picked Sooty. Or Jody. Or Riley who behaved charmingly (while Miz explored by ducking out of doors that got opened and explored elsewhere). So much choice.

Late Wednesday

 I was late to Safe Haven today because of a DH doc appt. And am late to blog tonight because of a Guild committee meeting. The latter had cats wandering around the Zoom meeting. The former just had nasty needles.

In the meantime, there have been movements out of incoming into the Welfare area and into Incoming from goodness knows where.

Oscar

They don't look very happy. But remember how Bassuria and Julie used to be so frightened and starving. This afternoon was the first time I saw them cuddled up together in the open.

And out the back, under Josie, is a returned cat. Sparkle/Sparky was returned because he attacked the neighbour when cornered (as you would) and bit his owner. We will find  him a better person next time.

Sparkie

He is below Josie plus two. One of her two went to be desexed today. The other stayed at home and did something to his foot/leg. He was very pathetic (and cute) this afternoon holding up his right paw. (It didn't stop him jumping up to share his mum's afternoon tea!)

Sore paw

The highlight of the afternoon was a visit by Barb Webster who got to cuddle Freya's kittens who are where Cindy and co were.
