weekend wrapup

Guess who was adopted last week??? Yep, our momma cat Sunshine went home with her new mom on Thursday after she was spayed. Her new mom has other cats, two of whom are 1 and 2 years old, so hopefully once Sunshine settles in and recovers from surgery she will have some friends to play with. Mom already got a quick update and Sunshine escaped her room already and seems a little nervous but has also come looking for affection.

The little oranges are doing better and mom is hoping to get them spayed/neutered this week. And... once they have surgery, they have a family all lined up. And they will get to go home together.

Mom had some car issues on Thursday. She got Coral and Sunshine loaded into the car, put the key in the ignition and the car went....click. ARGH!!! (the girls learned some new HBO werds)  Fortunately mom layed on the gas the second try and the car started...she drove straight to the car guy and he replaced her battery. But it screwed up her morning and was money she hadn't planned on spending.

Coral has been doing this weird reflux thing when she swallows. Mom made an appointment with the vet. They think her system may be sensitive so mom will be keeping track and has pepcid on hand if she needs it. She is also upgrading her to a premium canned food. Oh...and her weight? 2 pounds 15 ounces. And yes, she turned 5 months old on 9-10. MOL The vet thinks she is fine and is just going to be a tiny cat. As always, she was very well behaved and climbed up into the arms of the vet, laid back and purred. What a ham.

And on another front, mom has been trying to find a treat Coral likes (for having a reward when they are out). Temptations - no. Blue Buffalo Yums - no. Freeze Dried Chicken - no. Freeze Dried Shrimp - no. Goofy girl....

  1. I am so happy that the orange family has found homes! And really pleased that Tangerine and Clementine will have a home together. How many cats are in Sunshine's new home--you said that two are young--are there others? (just curious!)
    My cats have enjoyed the Evo Wild Cravings Treats, which are very healthy. And then, there are other things. For instance, Phoebe LOVES lima beans! It's very odd, I know, but healthy. She is 16+ now and doing well--maybe the lima beans are helping!

    1. Sunshine is now one of 6 other cats in the house. Her new mom is very devoted...

      Haven't tried the Evo treats.

  3. Unforeseen problems can really derange a day's schedule, can't they? It's especially bothersome when you're schedule is tight and time is limited.

    Good news on the adoptions. Sunshine is an orange female like my Tungsten. And speaking of Tungsten, she was probably a runt, like Coral, yet she's the top-cat in our household, so Coral will do fine, I think.

  4. Paws up for Sunshine! I can't believe Coral hates all treats! Have you tried low-sodium deli turkey? Maybe she likes fresh meat. Okay, that just made me hungry... I love everything food-wise!

  16. Yay for the adoption and pending adoptions! I totally understand the treat problem with Coral. Leo thinks treats are poison and human food doesn't interest him at all, like it's not even food! I hope you find something for Coral soon!
