Random Fridays

If you are anywhere near Ohio, there is a big event this weekend at the Franklin County Fairgrounds. Fetch A Friend and Shop Local got together for a huge shopping and pet adoption event. 11-4 Saturday and Sunday. Mom will be out there both days with Colony Cats and is hoping to take Roomba and Cipher.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mom is a little concerned about Anastasia. She is taking good care of the kittens but certainly isn't eating much to keep herself and 3 kittens going. Mom gave her some canned food Tuesday night and she ate it, ate most of another can Wednesday night but wouldn't touch anything Thursday morning. Mom spoke to the rescue and they may try an appetite stimulant just to jump start her.

what? mini panthers are tasty

Good news: Cipher is now neutered!! So he can be put on the website and we can start searching for his forever home.

In other news, Cipher seems to think it is a giant game to see if he can get OUT of the foster room before mom gets IN the foster room. The other night he made it out and mom gave up and left him out for a while as she spent time with Mopar and Fate and cleaned and fed everyone. She came back out and he was having a blast so she let him run around for a little longer. He headed down the steps and must have stopped a couple of steps from the top. Goldfish wandered over (keep in mind she did KNOW he was loose in the house), his head popped up over the edge of the steps, and Goldfish went FULL Halloween cat on him - though no hissing, just all fluffed up.

Mopar is still kind of suspicious of mom. She is thinking about maybe moving him to a smaller crate in the living room for a couple of days. It tends to work with scaredy/feral type kittens to help them friendly up some. Not sure WHY it works, but it tends to. Of course that will leave a very whiny Fate in the kitten room by himself if Cipher goes to the adoption event all weekend. Oh well - mom says she won't be home to listen to him complain about it.

you really going out looking like that?

(honestly we never know quite what that girl is thinking,

but she sure looks like she has opinions about everything)

the other kittens

Mopar and his tongue

He is doing....OK. He is out a lot when mom isn't home but still

isn't too sure about being held. She has started giving them some 

canned food in the evening and is going to use that as bribery.

Fate

The boy is a lover. Once he makes weight and is available for

adoption, some very lucky family is going to get a great kitten.

yes - there is a cat on the other side of the door

so concerned about everything

no Fate, you really can't fit through that opening

Darth Cipher

That boy and his snot. He is on a second round of antibiotics and has been nebulized a few times to help him breath better. Seems to work for a few days and then we are back to hearing him breath across the room. However - he isn't sneezing green snot and heaven knows he is active and eating and being his dorky self. The rescue is concerned it may be a polyp but the only way to really know is knock him out and stick a scope up his nose. We aren't there yet, but that may end up being an option. Of course, he hasn't been neutered yet and therefore can't be adopted yet either. In the meantime, he is very BORED in the kitten room with the littler boys and will happily howl his complaints in the evening.

oh Cipher

Mom seriously loves this boy. He is seriously goofy though. Over the weekend he raided the storage bins and found this jester hat. He was playing with it and mom decided she was going to put it on his head. He was not amused. MOL

His cold is clearing up so hopefully he can be neutered next week. He has definitely hit that long and lanky stage. He is super sweet, very purry and just a goofy kitten. He will play by himself but would probably do much better in a home with a young cat or another kitten to keep himself busy.
