We know there are lots of them so we wish you happy celebrations. No matter how or with whom you celebrate, please know we are sending you warm wishes.
We got an early present that included one of those famous catnip bananas. Daiquiri was pretty excited. Boba got a turn.
Then Buttons got her paws on.
In other news, the fountain is a success. No ad or anything, but it's an Elfin and we think we've seen it on sale.
Please take care of yourself this season and be safe.
We did the annual vet visits on Wednesday. Boba got gabapentin before the appointment to keep her head from exploding.
Daiquiri may have to get some next time too. The stress is hard on those two.
Everyone got a clean bill of health. Chanel and Boba got their rabies vaccines updated and Daiq got a blood draw for senior (omg) blood work.
Also Daiq and mom "may" have gotten a talking too about Daiq's chonky figure. She weighed in at 14.75 pounds and should probably be under 12. Chanel stayed steady at 11 pounds and Boba weighed in at 11.5 (the vet declared her just a big girl).

In other news, it may come as no surprise to some of you, but Buttons is now officially a permanent member of the Random Felines. Mom made some adjustments around the house and things are going well.
This is the new gate at the top of the stairs. It's still a work in progress since Chanel gets over but can't seem to figure out how to get back, and Boba knocks it off the closing magnet when she jumps over.
We hope Buttons can also help us continue to educate people about rescue but also special needs kittens.
The girls went back to the shelter on Friday. Marigold was adopted that evening and Aster was adopted on Saturday. We love quick turn overs like that.
Annual vet visits are this week so mom is preparing for that. Daiquiri has to get the "old lady" blood work done while Chanel and Boba need their annual checks and vaccines. Boba will be going on the happy drugs this time so her head doesn't explode.
Otherwise mom is busy working and getting Christmas stuff done. We don't put up a tree but she has shopping to do.
Sorry...we've been bad about this.
Anyhow. There have been a couple of spare kittens here for about a week and they go back this Friday. Aster and Marigold came here after being spayed to get over a cold. Mom finally let them out of the foster room last Thursday and they are WILD. Just all over the place. They are out now during the day but in the foster room at night.
This will most likely be our last set of kittens for a while (though you never know).
Fountain update: it's still alive!!! Actually Chanel still plays in the water a little but thankfully most of the except has worn off. Goldfish is still a little unsure about it - most likely because it will turn on when she walks by it. There is still a regular dish next to it as well.
Otherwise it's pretty normal here. Mom is working a little more with holidays and it getting a little extra busy. But she says it pays for Christmas presents so it's OK.
