Weekend report

 First, thanks for your comments about Ivy. It never is easy no matter the circumstances. 

----------------

Update: Milkshake was adopted! Single guy in an apartment. No doubt Milkshake is loving having his own person.

We've said it before, but Boba is super smart. And has all the opinions. Mom got a food puzzle and it going to see if that will keep her busy. It won't be left out - it will come out from time to time as a "new" toy. 

Boba & Chanel check it out

Daiquiri checks it out

Even Goldfish gave it a sniff

First try was treats with all the doors open. They figured it out pretty quickly. So next step is close one or two doors.

But her favorite game is still fetch

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

mom is waiting for Daiquiri to fall off

Daiquiri gets up there and dances around,

chases her tail and leans over too far 

All from the second to the top shelf...sigh

Mom found a nippy heart that we won from The Swiss Cats a while ago

She let us have it and it was a huge hit

Junior snuggled up with it 

Then Spud gave it a god

The rest of us have been enjoying it as well. Mom also ordered some new toys from Hauspanther to give Daiquiri something different to chase and fetch. In the box were something called skitters that are just the right size for Daiquiri to be able to fetch. So far she loves them. Unfortunately, Mo smacked one into the kitchen and Tim decided to drown it in the water dish....not sure cardboard toys are going to survive that tactic. Anyhow, here she is with her new toy:

Nothing too exciting going on here this weekend....probably not quite warm enough for window wiffies. But mom said stay tuned for a transport story next week.

And there is another special auction going on for a blogging friend. If you can help out, go check it out - there is lots of great stuff (including a couple of ham-micks and those plastic ducks). CLICK HERE

Yep - still playing fetch. The new fetch toy is a green foam ball. Mom is looking for alternatives - while this one flies great and is easy for Daiquiri to pick up, it is falling apart and mom doesn't want Daiquiri ingesting any parts of it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not much planned for this weekend - mom was moaning something about spring cleaning. sigh...

Oh - and while we had some very nice weather last weekend and open windows, Mother Nature changed her mind again and now it is chilly here again. Mom even gave up on Wednesday and turned the heat back on. She says it is cause of Margarita and the kittens....sure, whatever works for you mom.  MOL

We hope you have a spectacular and relaxing weekend.
