Sleepy weekend

 Mom has had a long few weeks at work with people being out so she took the weekend off. Breakfast on Saturday with a friend and a house warming party for another friend on Sunday. But otherwise spending time with us and kittens inside away from the heat and wildfire smoke.

Persimmon had a vet visit on Thursday. She wasnt gaining weight and was just acting super mopey. She is on meds and is back to her normal wild self.

In some sad news, Guava passed away last week. He had been doing just OK but then crashed and the best thing to do was let him go. Unfortunately it is always a part of rescue but it's never an easy decision. 

Scotch Bonnet is still in hissy tortie boot camp. She's better than she was and actually ate an entire churu while on mom's lap on Sunday. But she still hisses some and makes that face.

Cubanelle is super sweet but still snotty. They have a vet check on Tuesday at the shelter and hopefully the vet sees more improvement than mom is seeing. 

We hope you are all being safe and send lots of positive thoughts to our Canadian friends. 

Cats and books

 Mom was away this past weekend. One of her author friends had a vendor table at a local to her cat show and mom went as her assistant. 

They had a good time. Books were sold and cats were admired (no touching allowed). There were 2 rescues there as well. Pumpkins patch who ate a foster based rescue helping FeLV and FIV cats. Halfway home rescue was also there and brought adoptable kittens. This guy participated in the household cat show division abd won several ribbons. Clearly being cute is hard work.

There were lots of breeds being shown and it was interesting to watch even though mom doesn't understand how the system works.

All worn out

Mom bought some earrings, acute suncatcher and....a new cat tree.

The one previously under that window broke. Mom wanted something so Buttons could look out the window but obviously that requires certain specific layouts. Mom had pictures of the space along with video of Buttons and after some discussion the maker of Nathans kitty condos got an idea and modified one of the trees he had. Chanel was first to try it out once it got upstairs. We will post more on social media as Buttons hopefully figures it out. 

More kittens

 Good news: while mom was delivering the cheese girls, Ricotta got adopted too!!

The fruits are doing well. With it being a long weekend, mom gave them some freedom to run around the house. They seemed to have fun but will have to stay in the foster room while mom is working since they want all the attention.

Guava 

The shelter reached out and asked if we could take a pair from them. Since the crate is empty and the kittens are little (plus mom already said no once before), we got Scotch Bonnet and Cubanelle.  As their names imply, the tortie is kind of spicy and the torbie is very much not. Mom actually refers to her as a potato. 

Both are in meds for a cold though Cubanelle is more snotty. Scotch is currently suffering the kitten purrito as she is pretty hissy. First night she spit and was growling. Now it's more "unhand me peasant". 

If you are in the US we hope the air banging over the weekend wasn't too terrible. It was loud here so Goldfish, Daiquiri and Buttons all hid. But it seemed to not last really long so that was good.
