Cordelia is a mum

 I could tell that something was going on this morning when she wasn't waiting anxiously for her breakfast. I had a quick peak and saw one baby. Later on I saw another. Don't know if she had them today or I just missed the second one on my first brief peek. Later I got photos:

 We will have to read up on our Shakespeare to get names for them. There may be more by tomorrow.

Bree is getting more relaxed. We need names for her great gingers.

I tried to make friends with Shadow. He was not thrilled but submitted to being touched, briefly. Charley made real friends with him earlier so perhaps he was sick of the attention by the time I got to him.

Shadow

The other girl Shadow, on the other side of that condo block, renamed Codie, has got the sloppy, smelly poos. She may have got it from Peaches. Peaches and family are at the vets for tlc.

Zoe and Maddy are available for adoption, separately. One of them had inappropriate urinating problems in the home that she came from. So we have not labeled them as a bonded pair. Often two females together, if they are not related, have dominance issues that result in inappropriate peeing.

The other Zoe is ready to a proper home, she tells me.

And Wolfie has gone to his home. A young woman came in to adopt him from the play place. It was a wonderful opportunity to have a final cuddle. I quickly trimmed 6 of his nails before he realised what I was doing. I gave the trimmers to his new owner to finish off the job. All his daughters have been adopted as well.

 

Split bin gone

 So we are back to 2 Willoughby bins. But they only emptied one of them this morning. Tim W phoned the council and they promised to empty it in the next day, or so. What a relief. Because I had schlepped out 22 bags of poo from the balcony, with their resident maggots, into other peoples bins there was only enough trash from today to fill one Cozens bin. I didn't fancy having to transfer bags from the Willoughby bin to the other Cozens bin. It would have been way overweight.

 No surprise, Mateo has been chosen. He will be picked up tomorrow. The woman who adopted him came for two kittens. Why didn't she choose Hui Hui and Daisy May? Put it down to Mateo's charm.

Irene wanted a photo of him for social media. He doesn't stand still long enough for a good shot.

Wolfie sat still and watched. He had a wander time out today too.. . . . we still hope he will become an old persons' home cat.

So did Hui Hui and Daisy May. That woman should have chosen them.

I think we should swap their stand alone position with Wolfie's so that they are nearest the front door and get seen by the incomers.

Wolfie only has two daughters left on the premises. I got the job of holding them while their condo was cleaned (because we were short on vollies this morning). A hard job but somebody. . . .. (gets lucky).

Violet is off "wet food only". I think she likes the full tummy effect of crunchies.

Zoe, is more confused than grumpy now that she has moved from Incoming to Welfare. This is last week's photo of her in Incoming. Today, she wouldn't stand still for a photo.

The A Team

 The cleaning team was in top form today. They even cleaned  the W kittens condo which was a mess. They had even thrown some poo out of their condo. I didn't see it. And I kneeled on it during the first morning feed. Luckily that was very early and I could take off my trousers, wash the poo off the knee and potter around in my knickers while they partially dried out on the balcony. They were back on well before the cleaning vollies arrived!

Later in the afternoon I let Le Clerk out for a wander. Wolfie, who is in the stand alone just inside the door was desperate to meet him. He is also deperate for food because he became accustomed to 6 meals a day while housed with his four daughters on Better Row.

At the time, the girls were having a marvelous time in the Top Cat.

They are spectacular looking cats.

Wanda or Wynonna

Mateo had several turns at being out of his condo. He runs like a mad thing around  because he has so much energy to get out. I changed his stiff collar to an cloth collar (after consulting with Sue). That confused him for a while and he ran in circles but he soon got used to not being able to see out of the corner of his eye.

Here he is meeting the three extra kittens in the Palace. Don't know where they came from. They are shyer than the other three.

But the best news of the day is that somebody is coming to adopt Mia tomorrow, or the next
day. She has thrown a bare spot over her spine just below her shoulder blades just  because. . . . .

I hope it doesn't put her adopters off.
