Mischief Monday - We Are Too Busy - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

We are so, so, so busy right now. Lady hardly has time to think much less do fun things like Blog or visit you. She is so busy, people have been talking about headline news (which usually she knows enough about) and she has no idea what people are talking about. The world could have ended and she would not know!  Besides work and her volunteering with the Ottawa Paw Pantry, she has taken on a board position with the rescue we foster with, TNR La Peche. She is now the vet appointment coordinator and fundraising chair! 

While we are busy, we are all good.

Updates:

Oakley moved to her forever home on Thursday. She is already so loved. Here is a picture her new family sent us. 


This has left Miss Acorn alone so she is now living in the whole house. While Tigris and Lanie barely tolerate her, she and I are now BFFs. 





Celeste and the cosmic crew are doing really well. We had our family over for Thanksgiving and Celeste was so tolerant of the visitors. She handled it better than Man handled our fridge dying Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. (New fridge arrived Friday).




Here is a neat series of Eclipse to show how quickly the kittens have grown in 2 weeks.



This week we celebrate 1 year with Lanie and 1 month until Man's retirement. 

Hopefully things will slow down a little as winter comes!

your pal, who misses you so much, Styxy

Nature Friday - Girls Trip - by Tigris

 Reader,

The Lady went away for 3 days on a girls trip and I was left at home. I am a girl, I should have gotten to go. Instead I was left here with all the dumb foster kittens. 

The best girl

Lady and her friends went to Newfoundland (friends choice and planned after Lady returned from there. Here are some random nature pictures

Mischief Monday - Celeste and The Cosmic Crew -by Lady

 I was away for a few days and the Man had to take care of all things kitten. Overall it was ok, execpt the time Celeste acted like she wanted pets and then put her claws into him and drew blood. I was stunned how big the crew got while I was away. It was only 3 days and they look even more like real cats and they are moving around so much more and playing! 

Thank you to those who commented on the infected eyes. We are aware of this and are working to treat it. We lost a little ground the 3 days I was away because Celeste doesn't trust man like she trusts me and he couldn't treat them safely. I can see in the one day of cleaning, we are already getting an improvement so I hope we can get it all cleared up. It is in no way impacting their play and exploring.

I call this picture trust because Celeste trusted me to pick up one of the crew to treat the eyes. She was a little unsettled but was not aggressive.

This week we will be introducing litter and food to the crew! Fingers crossed. I can't believe they are 4 weeks old!

Lanie's Log - Update

 It has been 345 days since my capture and I am still ignoring Lady Warden.


Can you believe it has been almost a year? I am still a bit of a shy cat, but I am happy and Lady Warden says I inspired some of the fostering. Uggh, maybe I should have bit her instead of the Man when I first came.

We will celebrate me later this month. It will be all about me because I am the baby.
