Weekend report

 Well mother nature was weird last week. It was very hot mid week (mid to high 90s) then mid 70s this weekend. We also lost power Tuesday afternoon until early Wednesday morning and it got pretty warm in the condo. Luckily it came back before mom had to make decisions about how we were handling it. 

Our balcony has flowers again the year. It's not covered so it gets warm for mom to sit out there much but the flowers are pretty. And we have a bird feeder to so Mike gets a show.

However with the windows and sliding door open, the Arizona kittens had a good time climbing the screen door.

And Mike got some fresh air and quality bird time.

But of course it got hot again so we are back to closed windows and the cold air machine

Escapees

 We knew it was coming. And yesterday morning it happened: 2 kittens escaped the foster room.

Yep, that's Winslow and Sedona. Mom wasn't very happy that they decided to nap UNDER her chair though. 

The tabby boys haven't figured it out yet, but it's probably only a matter of time. Thankfully they understand the sound of the food can opening so they come running for dinner. Plus they are super friendly 

Gotcha

 Mom and her friend took the cat they trapped on Sunday back after surgery on Monday. The goal was to try to catch the momma cat longing to the kittens they got Sunday. Well, in record time Sparkie was in the trap. She is now back with her babies and taking good care of them. She's a little scared but should be adoptable. 

Mom is a tortie and very young....maybe 7 no the old. 4 kittens, 3 girls and 1 boy. 2 black, 1 tortie and a gray.

Oh and mom finally got video of Chanel chasing her tail. 

Adventures

 Everyone here is doing well. Mike and the kittens are getting along pretty well. She gets a little frustrated when they get wound up, but otherwise they are good.

Mom did have an adventure on Sunday. A friend of a friend has some cats she is caring for and of course there are now kittens. Mom and her friend went down and got the younger group of kittens. They then tried to catch mom who isn't feral but is very cautious. No luck. So H is gping to bottle feed and we will try again. But they did catch the other momma (her kittens are older and will be ok until later today) so she's being spayed and released. Then it will be attempt 3 catching the momma cat they need. 

Jail break

 In less than a week, the kittens have cleared the panels. Mom heard a strange noise on Saturday and there sat 2 kittens behind the airlock gate. Oh well....at least it was a few days for everyone to get to know each other.

Mike is a little weird about them being loose. She complains when she alone. But she also complains of they run around too fast. We suspect she would do great with an adult past the crazy stage. But she does like them when they are a little more quiet. 

Mesa and Mike

Mesa, Sedona and Bisbee

Mom planted flowers on the balcony. So the new game now is escaping kittens while she waters the plants. (So far the kittens are winning)
