Short Friday

 I kept my visit short this afternoon to limit exposing vollies to my bug. And to distribute the expected chicken.

Lucky on chicken duty

Monica was desexed last week and her wound looks a bit red and gappy. Dr Kim inspected it this morning, cleaned it up and said that it should be OK if she is allowed to lick it clean. Some cats don't react well to the glue that is used instead of stitches. But she seems happy enough.

The Ginge who was in the play pen is now below Hanna and sneezing mightily. His mum, Sabrina is very pretty and friendly.

Ulysses and his two rag doll house mates are back in the Palace (The coffee shop kittens have been moved to the D's stand alone because they have all be adopted). Ulysses had play time there. After his hour and a half, Violet and co moved in. He was not impressed.

Where Ruby and her three kittens were, are Bingo and Pickles. I have the feeling that they were in a foster home. They are super friendly and won't last long. Sorry, Terry, I didn't get around to putting more cat carriers together for you.

Always Trixie to us

 I didn't have time to take any photos today. So I will fall back on photos of Trixie sent to Irene. They have renamed her Luna but she will always be Trixie to us.

Trixie, 1 week: She was very eager to come out of her original room, so the new owners let her into the whole apartment which she loves. She jumped on the bed a few times and claimed all the dining chairs as hers.

The Palace has been occupied by a pair of middle aged rag dolls and a kitten. It seems that the kitten drives them demented with his energy. His name is Ulysses. So Ulysses is to have an hour in the play pen every day. Max was moved, surprisingly easily, to Diego's condo. He was pleased to see me with the chicken but didn't shout the house down.

Ulysses had his first play hour in the play pen this afternoon. He hid in a scratchy pole box. He was very happy to have a cuddle. I loosened his collar which was very tight. His Palace mates continued to grumble.

I brought extra chicken so everybody had more than a small amount but never enough.

No adoptions today. A ?mother and son arrived asking for Tigger to go with their adult cat. Tigger got adopted ages ago ( or was it just last week?) We don't have any young kittens available this week and the adult might be harrassed by a young kitten (eg Ulysses et al). So I showed them everybody and they liked Basil who purred like a mad thing and Coco who was happy to be laid in their arms on her back. They are thinking about it and bought a cat carrier big enough to fit two cats into. And he took the Volunteers Needed leaflet so might be back as a volllie. . .  we need them.
