how Chanel plans to spend the weekend
(though let's be honest, this is how she spends most of her time)
Goldfish had been in the Sleepypod, climbed out, stretched
and then laid down right there and went back to sleep
Thanks for all the positive feedback on our Wednesday post. Thankfully most applications are good, people care for their pets and we can do adoptions smoothly.

To answer some questions about the cat cafe:
1. The tree by the window in the pictures is on a tension rod from the floor to the ceiling.
2. Most that we have heard of charge an entrance fee to cover their costs with anything left over helping the rescues they support. Most of them aren't very expensive - this one was $10 for an hour.

We have gotten some snow and it was BITTER cold for a few days. Sunday night mom was in bed reading and the snow removal people were outside cleaning the condo drives. Goldfish was not very happy that there was banging and noise outside the condo. She was on the bed with mom but jumpy with all the noise. However....mom would call her name or whistle to get her attention after a bang and Goldfish would settle back down and let mom pet her. This went on for about 30 minutes - until there was a REALLY big bang and Goldfish ran out looking for a better hiding place. But still - mom was very proud of her being brave.

Speaking of Goldfish, taking a page from Daiquiri, she taught herself to play fetch. She will bring mom a mylar ball to throw sometimes. Mom is allowed to sit up in bed but not go too far. Of course the girl would also pick the toy that doesn't fly very well. But mom got thinking last night - she wonders if cats think the fetch thing is weird? They bring people their toy having killed it, and those weird people throw it far away and the cat has to bring it back AGAIN!! haha
*interestingly enough, a cat behavior expert answered a very similar question this week over at The Conscious Cat
We like Chanel's idea of how to spend the weekend; we're going to follow her example!
ReplyDeleteOh, the bitter cold and snow....We're all so done with winter and we're not even through January. :-/
There are one or two cats here that will fetch a toy or ball. Glad Goldfish is getting more and more trusting. That is always so great when it happens.Have a great day.
ReplyDeletePatience, grasshopper! See, it's paying off! When Manny jumps up onto the shelf, I toss soft toys to him, which he bats back. But sometimes, he looks at me like..."What are you doing?!? I gave that back to you!!!"
ReplyDeleteI love to play fetch too! Funny enough, I can't catch prey to save my life. I find it (we've had roof rats here before), and wait for my human to catch it for me.
ReplyDeleteguyz....werd....stock up & stay in coz if yur fore cast iz close ta R'z next weekz lookin ta bee vizshuz...
ReplyDeleteLooks like there's a lot going on at your house ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, Goldfish is really coming along. You're making excellent progress with her.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED that post! I wish there were more like it. Although for the cat people, kinda preaching to the choir...but I love the preaching!
ReplyDeleteWell done Goldfish, it's not fun when there are scary noises.
ReplyDeleteStay warm efurrybody!
Chanel, that's a great plan for the weekend. And Goldfish, we're proud of you, too!
ReplyDeleteSiberians view fetch much like cats do -- you threw it, you can go get it. :)
