Tuesday, May 14

Doce is doing wonderful! His little bum is doing so much better. We think we have it figured out and as long as we continue a 3-time a week treatment, he should be fine. He's running around playing, but is terribly missing his 4 girls (this includes Caryn of course!). Actually, Caryn's other 2 cats will be spending the upcoming weekend with us. When they come on Sunday to take them home, they'll also be taking Doce back too. When one of the girls holds him, I swear that all the bones in Doce's body becomes liquefied--he simply goes limp when they hold him! 

Dion, our construction guy was here all day yesterday. He put up about 13 more fiber wall panels! So exciting! We are getting things ready so that when it's all done, we can move in and start using it immediately! As soon as he can get time to form in the front sidewalk, he'll be calling the concrete guys in!

We had the Bubble Machine on today. Do you know who loved it the best? It was Walter! He zeroed in on those bubbles and popped them! It was so fun to watch him! So many of the kitties enjoy the bubble chasing!

Snappy and Whisk and Weeja are playing like crazy kittens here in the office. They actually bounced off the door to get momentum to run to the other end. What fun they have. Not sure who is winning, but I'm sure there will be a nap in their near future! Walter is joining in their fun--that's his speed of playing--fast and furious! The four are doing good together.

I hope for Walter that everyone will be patient with him. I know he's a rough player. But he's young, he's deaf and he's learning how to play with others. We all are so very patient and understanding when there's a physical problem with a cat. We need to also remember, even though we can't "see" Walter's problem, we need to be patient and understanding of him also. He's trying so hard to fit in. Thanks for loving him!

We have quite a few adoptions pending. Will fill you in as things get firmed up! Daynay is back in the Rescue Center. She spent the 2 weeks in Kitty Kastle with Janet. She's doing fine, but I'm sure she misses Janet. She ate a good breakfast today. Janet made it back home to New Zealand. She had a couple bumps in the road of return, but she's safely back now. 


There is, at this moment, 9 cats on the low cat walk in the Kabana Room looking out at the bird feeders. They sure do love this. Joyful is being silly this morning--she's even bouncing in the air and playing! I think we're reaching her joy spots! The little kittens in Thumper's Room ate a pretty good breakfast this morning by themselves. That's a first! Becky will be coming in tonight to top off their tummies and also the 6 kittens. Names will happen today for the 5 kittens in Thumper's Room!

Kitty Q's two kittens are playing now--so cute. They are also starting to eat a bit on their own. I keep thinking of Catsparella--when her kittens start playing. Will be nice to watch. Both are such good mamas. Such a lot of beauty kittens!

Our Hanker Panker boy! He loves to be sweet-talked to.
