Not Seasoned

 The escapee Salt or Pepper is still at large. Tomorrow the cat trapper extraordinaire is to come to do her magic. 

Seasoning set-up (as viewed from our balcony)

The unescaped seasoned cat is getting tamer by the day. Perhaps he should be called Salt and the escapee should be Pepper.

Last month we adopted out 43 cats and kittens (or was it 42. . . . either way it was brilliant work!)

Today the couple who adopted Othello came back for a companion for him. They think he needs a friend. So they chose Octavia. The husband loved her on sight and cuddled her happily. Meantime, the wife looked at the cat in the next stand alone, Biscotti (I think. This kitten came from a foster home and is very chill). She fell in love. They couldn't agree on which kitten to take home to Othello so decided to take them both.

On the way home, it turns out, Octavia had a funny turn. They took her to Pymble vet (after they got home) and we will get the bill.

So I cleaned those two stand alones and, as instructed, moved the L kittens from Incoming. Let's hope they have left their sloppy poos way behind them. These three girls were delighted with their more spacious accommodation and played and played.

We also have a Lina in a stand alone.

Poor Tsuki is all alone in his double condo.

Tsuki

I expect he will be moved by Friday.
Rory is not looking well. He is on eye ointment which cats hate.

And we have a new tiny kitten, Earl who is not eating properly. You have to put the food into his mouth before he will try it. This afternoon I rearranged his condo so that his food bowl was at the same level as he was sitting on his hottie. Earlier the food needed to be reached down to and I don't think he was confident enough to try that. We will see if he has nibbled on his small patches of different foods overnight.

The mum and her 5 kittens is now Mum Fae plus 4. When I arrived this morning her kittens were rolled up in a rug and she was out of the sleeping box. . . . probably wondering where she had stashed/buried them.

 Note to Sharon: When Lucas and Gary get into a serious rumble, one shot from a water bottle at Lucas calms him down.

Wolfgang gone

 He left yesterday with a delighted looking lady. He left enough hair on his hammock to make a kitten! I hope his new owner is not a wearer of black clothes.

And today the little H girl,

Hazel

Hazel was adopted. She and her person seem perfectly matched. 

It was a quiet afternoon, again, so I worked on PC's knots. This comb seem to be effective. It has a razor blade inside it but I don't use that side. His hair clumps are diminishing. Probably only 80% left now! He is not enjoying the process but doesn't complain with his claws.

The O kittens came back from being desexed. One has a clot on his sliced scrotum. Be gentle with him. They are Ophelia, Odysseus, Othello and Octavia. The ginger boys purr as soon as you look at them.

Octavia

O boy (!)

 Hoshi and Tsuki were moved from Incoming to Welfare this afternoon. David loves both of them even though only one of them loves to be cuddled. (The shy guy will come around to the feeders).

?H or T?

Last thing today I set up the stand alone in Isolation because Cookie and Marmalade have been confirmed ring worm positive. Earlier in the afternoon I spotted a vollie happily cuddling one of them in Welfare. I mentioned that the "under observation" sign meant that they shouldn't be cuddled. She put the kitten back into the condo and, at my suggestion, left (with her apron which she will wash.)

The fungus that causes ringworm in cats also infects humans. If you find you have an extremely itchy spot somewhere on your body, smother it with Vasoline. That forms an oily film that excludes oxygen from getting to the fungus and slows down its growth. Chemist sell Lamisil which is a cream that kills fungus (athlete's foot fungus, ringworm fungus, whatever fungus.)
