Snowed in Sunday

 Mom says work from home is great but no snow day for her tomorrow. We might end up with about 10-12 inches in total. A lot of places including schools are closed tomorrow. Better to be safe - especially when it is also super cold. 

We decided to spend the weekend being warm. Please check on your neighbors and outdoor animals. 

When mom opened the door Buttons actually growled at the snow. Hahaha

Mom does want to send all her love to the people of Minnesota. She spent a lot of time on her phone Saturday and was very upset by things. 

Progress

 Mom took Roundabout to an adoption event on Saturday. She wasn't thrilled but did fairly well (and did ok in a cage with her sister Detour whom she hasn't seen in a while). 

Plus while she ran and hid when they got home she came back out pretty quickly and was just as friendly as before. She's already listed on the rescue's website as available but mom is more confident Roundabout is ready for her forever home.

Traffic Cone is making progress. Turns out he is kind of food possessive so it's hard to use that as motivation. However his big safe spot is on the sofa. Mom has taken to casually walking over and while petting his head, she sits next to him. Sunday he started immediately purring when she did this and actually leaned into her. Good boy. 

Mom was concerned he was bonded to Roundabout but while he was curious when she got back from the adoption event, he wasn't frantic that she had been gone. He will need a fairly playful kitten or cat in his forever home though since he does play a little rough. 

New toy

 We had wanted one of these so when mom saw it on sale she bought one.

The kittens find it interesting. Funny enough Chanel is fascinated. But they are having fun figuring it out.

Mom got to visit Detour on Sunday. She's the sister of Roundabout and Traffic Cone but it with another foster who is better with hissy kittens. Detour is still a work in progress but mom got to hold her and she sat on the sofa for a while during the visit. Great progress. The facial expression may be another matter. Haha
