Bos at home

The folk who adopted Bosley sent photos to show just how easily and well he has settled into their family. His favourite pose is to stretch out, full length on his back on somebody's legs with a beatific smile on his face. Ask Tim to show you the photos. And to show the photos of Lynette in her new home. She seems very happy watching squirrels and birds on the computer and cuddling up to her man on the couch.

Adam was collected. Eve cheered as he left. I moved his toys to her wheely cage and moved his cage away. 

Eve

A woman came in to compare her and Kimmi as a suitable companion. She chose Kimmi and will be back on Friday to finalise the deal.

A pair of cats, Fred (shorthaired ginger at rear) and George (outgoing, medium haired ginger at front) were surrendered. I had a call from their previous owner who passed them onto a friend when she moved but now that they have been surrendered to us, she worries that they might be separated, or unhappy, or lost track of. She will visit next week.

George (and Fred in the background).

I removed the handbags from Cookie and TIm Tam's condo because they were flat and the cats were sitting on hard, cold shelves looking soulful. I added a nice big bed. But should have put a rug in it because the Burmese has disappeared.

Cookie and Tim Tam

Wendy was brought in to have her stitches removed. I remembered how to do it from Peggy days. Although, the method of stitching has changed to a double twist so I had to learn on the job, so to speak. She is much loved. Her new name is Suki.

I carried her to Willow's condo. Neither was impressed. Why does Willow still have a collar? Because it suits her?

Willow

Lily's babies are getting bigger than her. Her appetite is growing as fast as they are.

Lily

Just as I was about to leave (a couple of minutes after 4pm), Steph arrived with her four cats. She is to go to Tweed Heads and we get to meet her fur babies. Two boys and two girls: in the corner beyond Nom. Steph wondered if Linda would remember them and be comforted by their presence. Perhaps she could be moved to the condo above them to receive their rising auras. Linda had an enema yesterday because she hasn't poo'd for 6 days. She hardly ate anything today. But she did get lots of love.

Sandy reports: The Bos has left

Just had to tell you the The “Bos” ie Bosely has left the building, isn’t that wonderful.

Adam has been adopted but was  still there this morning, 

Adam

Poor “Baby” has a weird eye. Looks like a contact lens has slipped down and the whole eye is looking a bit cataracty.

Clear eyed Baby

Liz was on Grandma duties again and the other lady didn’t turn up cos she had to take her sick daughter for a covid test!

Left the Quarantine ones for Tim to do and he said he would probably remember them when he was leaving!

Missed one

I sterilized six vacated condos this afternoon.

Two were in boarding. One cat stayed three nights but another condo was only occupied by a pair of cats overnight. They were driven up from Canberra the afternoon before for an 11am appointment next door. (?No good vets in Canberra?)

Then I cleaned the condo that Willow moved into last week. That was much easier than the condo where she and her kittens lived. She was desexed yesterday and has moved to Lynette's condo.

Willow

And the condo where Wendy recovered from her desexing. It is below Lily and her babies.

Lily and No 1 son

Then I cleaned out Buffy's condo because she has been adopted! Lucky Buffy will be so happy this weekend.

 Buffy

And I cleaned the condo where Adam and Eve were because they are happy in separate wheely cages. In fact, I think Eve is much happier not to be living with Adam. He is rough and tumble and she is a gentle purr girl. Clyde delivered their previous cage from the nursing home. I dismantled it and cleaned it too. We will need to refer to the photo of it set up in the home to get it back together again.

Adam

 Eve

But I missed Milky's condo. He was adopted too. No surprise there as he is so beautiful. Cookie and Tim Tam got out of their handbag to see what all the fuss was about.

The Young Ones

All Willow's kittens have now been adopted. As well as the last two (Harold and Hayley) of Harriet's. And Bowie  . . . . of course, as he was the littleist. Leonard and Larry (Lucia's kittens) are still in quarantine with the ringworm. They are full of energy. One was chasing his tail so energetically that he fell off the shelf.
Another photo missed was when one of Lily's kittens climbed onto her back for a piggyback.
Bosely is everybody's favourite. . . . he is the boss-cat.

Bosley

Poor Angus had to put up with hammering from next door or above today. It put him off his breakfast.

Angus

Adam and Eve were not getting on in a condo together. So they are in separate, but adjacent, wheely cages. Adam is much more interactive and engaging. Eve is more reserved.

Adam

Eve

 Morty looks good with pink.

Morty

Milky just looks good. He is a honey of a cat.

Milky

But Tara still doesn't want to know. . . . anybody.

Revolving door

Walter was adopted today. He is the first of Willow's kittens to go, at last. Of course, he is the grey.

Walter and Wendy (pre ring worm)

And Milky came in. He is less than 12 months old and was found wandering by a couple who fed him. Eventually they realised that they couldn't keep him. But they must have treated him well because he is very relaxed.

Milky

A man came in to adopt Harold and Haley but they are already promised to go to Chinatown next Tuesday. So he chose Lynette. He seriously wanted a timid cat, or two. She will reward him with devotion.

Lynette

And Lola was surrendered by a family who can no longer keep her. She was adopted as a kitten from Ingleside in 2012. I don't have a photo of her from then. Perhaps "before my time".

She was not in a good mood. I had to clean the condo next to her's and she kept up a snarl every time I passed her.

Lola

And Charlie went to the dentist. He had all but his canines removed. He teeth were a mess. Perhaps that is why he was a grumpy cat. Now he just looks sore mouthed and is on soft food only. (Don't tell the other cats, they will be jealous).

Charlie

Fig leaves and happy endings

 It is very nice to be greeted at 9am with joyous cries even though it is only cupboard love. And even better, there was space for our 6 bags of garbage in the bins on the street.

We have new cats:
Adam and Eve used to live in a Nursing Home/retirement village. But now that they are 8 months old they are deemed a "trip risk". Adam is quite friendly but Eve is nervous. So perhaps their life amongst the oldies was not that pleasant.

Eve

Adam

And we have Peggy who was surrendered. I don't know her history but she is right pissed off.

Peggy

I saw Ashleigh's kittens out of their carry cage for the first time. One has very mucky eyes. I don't think they are as skittish as their mother so some lotion might clean her up.

They are obviously both girls. . . . A? and A?

After the cleaning had been done I went back there to find Octavia's door wide open. Those little sliding locks are not very secure. Luckily she was sitting on her shelf. I rewarded her with crunchies.

Octavia

Shortly later Willow's door was open too. And she got the same reward. Her eye looks mucky too.

A Japanese couple came to adopt Haley and Harold. They are about to move to Haymarket so won't pick them up until next Tuesday. I explained how much they love each other and what a long time it will take for them to love the people. But feeding them will help enormously.

Harold and Haley in a clinch

Yesterday, a supremely suitable person came in and adopted Jewel. Fingers crossed that it works this time.

When I spoke to Tim yesterday to catch up before arriving today for my Boss Cocky duty, he said that he was worried that Lily's kittens were going to fall off the high shelf where she had them because they are getting much more active. So we talked about building box walls to keep them in, putting the slant board to break their fall, moving them down but will Lily just carry them back up. When I arrived they were upstairs so I assumed that he had tried but she had taken them back where they belonged. But, Tim had left a not to say that he didn't move them because she was feeding them when he tried. 

So I moved them down around 10am. They were still down when I left after the night feeding. Where will they be tomorrow.

Lily's kittens

And a woman phoned to say how happy her family is that they adopted Bailey. He is their perfect cat.

Bailey

White is the new black

Storm went back home today. Won't she be pleased! But she will be confined because the neighbours don't like her to roam and create havoc.

I had just cleaned out her palace condo . . . . cleaning her hair off the scratchy pole took the longest. . . . when in came Sue with Linda. Sue is off travelling (in NSW) so Linda is having a turn in the palace.

Linda

 I also cleaned the condo above Willow and moved her into it (with permission) so that I could clean the condo where she and the kittens lived (and caught ring worm) for weeks. I have given it a good scrub but it needs another pair of eyes to clean off the grubbiness that was under the first layer of crud. I think WIllow likes her new view (of the feeding station!)

Willow

Lucia's boys were taken off to be desexed because WIllow's kittens were not quite well enough. She seemed anxious to have them back. I removed the small carry cage that they were born in and have outgrown.

Lucia

 These two WIllow kittens look quite smug to be left at home

Willow kittens

Morty has an interesting mark on his foot.

Morty

A couple came to look at Lynette but have gone away to think about her. They want a shy cat because their last cat was shy. But then he spotted Bowie . . . . who is not the least bit shy. In fact, his door was unlatched and he wiggled into my arms happily. They could pick Harriet's kittens if they want a shy kitten.
