Slower time of year

 The rescue took in their first mom and kittens so we suspect it won't be long. But for now the rescue has more shy adults so there is conversation about how to market them.

Detour is still hanging around here. She's great with us but still not sure about mom. The plan for now is to have her go back with Miss Heather for more intense social boot camp.

We got fooled by a few nice weather days that allowed mom to crack open a couple of windows. But of course it is only February so it's back to cold and snow. 

Mom has a small space heater under her desk to keep her feet warm. It is becoming Buttons' favorite spot.

Don't worry mom is careful that Buttons doesn't get too close but it does have a safety feature that turns it off if it gets tipped over.

Otherwise it's going well here. Mom is making a list of things to do and get to be ready for kittens. We are jsting waiting for spring.

Adoption news

 First we got an update on Roundabout and she's doing great. We didn't hear about a new name but presume they changed it. 

Also...Traffic Cone has been adopted. He went home on Sunday. Nice couple with a 4 year old cat so fingers crossed they get along and TC adjusts quickly. But they talked about it and understand his background so will give him the time he needs. 

That leaves us with Operation crack the calico. Detour has gotten up on the bed and slept there so that's a good sign. It will be interesting to see what she does without RC being here. But getting on the bed was his first indication of being more social so hopefully it works for her as well. 

Otherwise we are doing well. We do need to have mom go house shopping though because ours officially broke down. 

Updates

 If you missed it on our social media, Roundabout was adopted on Tuesday. Her new family has an 8 month old kitten and two dogs. No updates so we hope all is going well.

It's been very cold here (and lots of places in the US) this week so we have been staying warm. 

Traffic Cone is coming out of his shell. He has started sleeping on the bed and is letting mom walk up and pet him pretty consistently. He doesn't get up on her lap but that's ok. She has been able to pick him up as well. He has developed a funny game of following her around and softly wrapping at her ankles. 

Detour is out and about. So far not much progress petting her but at least she's not hiding. And it's all good information to give potential adopters.

Otherwise we are all doing well abd hope the same for all of you.
