Random Friday

Anybody wonder what we are plotting????

you go away mom

we is plotting planning

OK - admittedly, Ivy is most likely just plotting another nap here.

not much plotting going on here either

We wish you a peaceful weekend.  Mom says thanks for the kind words yesterday.

And if you didn't see it on facebook......FANTA GOT ADOPTED!!

This is a fun story, but we have to back up to Monday. See, over the weekend Miss Mona (the head of the rescue) decided that Fanta was being neutered (SO THERE). Mom took him to work with her on Monday, but couldn't find a spare carrier, so she used one of ours. No big deal. Miss Mona picked him up, mom stopped at the adoption center Tuesday after work to see him, and he has already been adopted.

Well, about 10:30pm on Tuesday, mom had a thought....she forgot to pick up our carrier that evening at the adoption center (her mind is going - don't worry about it). So she stopped again on Wednesday. Miss Mona said the carrier was at the clinic. SOS? Nope, Rascal.** Mom said - oh did you need to use it for someone else?

Turns out, Miss Mona was taking a couple of dogs to Rascal for surgery. She mentioned Fanta, they had an opening, so he had his neuter surgery there on Tuesday. And from there, he actually never came back to the adoption center....he charmed everyone at the clinic and one of the vets decided she HAD to adopt him. Miss Mona said Wednesday night that the vet called her about the dogs and mentioned that Fanta had moved right into her house with no concerns and was already king of the castle (she has a couple of other cats). There you have it....an even better story that we originally thought!!


**we are lucky enough to live in a city with lots of different clinics. SOS is low cost but does only spay/neuter but is also feral friendly - meaning you can bring them same day in a live trap until 2pm. Rascal is low cost as well (both are non-profits) but they have clinic hours for wellness checks and vaccinations as well as being a 24 hour emergency clinic. 

weekend wrapup....

Mom cracked the windows Friday afternoon:

Mo checking out the open window

Ivy and Tim enjoying the fresh air

Nothing like a little fresh air to kick off the weekend. She didn't leave them open over the weekend,
but at least we have some hope that spring is on its way.

Other than that, nothing much went on here.  Just hanging around.

so that's how she does it.....

For the longest time, Ivy couldn't get up on the top of the cat tree.

Every other cat could. Spud doesn't like it up there (not enough cover),

but even the kittens could climb up there after a while.

Not Ivy....she was kind of gravity challenged.

She would put her front feet up there and try to shove herself, but no luck.

Until one day she figured it out.

"made it"

And gets to hang with Uncle Tim.....

Random Fridays....

We got the REALLY colds here again. brrrrr  We even got a little snow and Tommy and Ivy were checking it out. No window whiffing here any time soon.

 It's the Dust Bunny.....yep Amelia is getting big. Kind of interesting to watch. As soon as a spot opens up at Petco, she and Saffron will be heading up there together.

 That is Tim and Ivy on the top of the cat tree. We have NO idea how that can be comfortable, but they were up there together for a while. (though Ivy does seem to have a minor spill over problem)

We hope all of you are safe and warm. Mom has seen Allie several times this week and it makes her feel better to see her. At least we know she is safe.....the last time mom got a pretty good look at her and watched her walk into the garage and she looks good.

Cumin was neutered on Thursday and home that night. He is very good with the other cats but still a little jumpy with mom. Hopefully being up at Petco (at some point) will help his social skills as well. Meantime mom can get him up on Petfinder.

Wordless Wednesday....
