Passion:Happy adopotions

This was such a good week  in adoptions for Animal Friends Connection.  Bugsy, a long time foster found his own permanent home where he won't have a family cat harassing him as the cat did  in his foster home.  Daisy, whom I took in went  back to her previous foster parents who adopted her.  And, last but not least,  Homer and Chuck went together to a very nice family.  That left Dory all alone in the Cat House so I moved her in to the main house where she is trying to adapt while avoiding grumpy Winnie, who hisses and growls at docile little Dory.She has explored the den, kitchen and has her folding chair with sham that she uses as a sleep hide out.They are  both napping now  and I think will make their peace in a couple days. Dory has been very loving and affectionate since she has been alone, and vocalized this morning for the first time that I have heard.

I will  be getting Honey Bee and Romeo, two kittens needing gastrointestinal assessment..  They are currently at Petco, but are having extreme diarrhea.  I tried my hardest to   get a stool sample today but  was unsuccessful. It will be easier at the Cat House where there will be less traffic.It was very busy at Petco this morning.

Gentle Peeve

After complaining to Marian abut Daisy really disliking Homer, I went to crate Homer to take to Petsmart for adoption display this morning and there he was under the chair sham sleeping with her!! He was so good at just ignoring her hissing and swatting that he won her over in the end and made a complete liar of me.  That's why I love cats. When you   think you have them figured, they surprise you.  Needless to say it was difficult to take Homer and Chuck to Petsmart after this discovery. However, they are there and I hope they find a purrfect home.  They are both so cute, charming and loveable that they  will make the right person  purrfectly happy.  Chuck likes to suckle on the palm of my hand and Homer loves messing with my hair. Though they complained about going once there they  were at home and when   I left, Homer was trying to turn the donut bed over so  he could crawl under it and resume his nap which I  so rudely interrupted. Chuck just plunked down and seemed right at home.  No tugging at my heart strings by reaching out of  the cage to touch my leg, as he did last Saturday at Petco.

Passion: A vegetative rainy day.

Today was my idea  of a perfect super bowl  Sunday.  I caught up  on all episodes of Downton Abby and snacked on  an  artichoke, cheese and crackers and olives and  V8.   I enjoyed my Winnie cat and Mika dog snuggled up next to me on the couch. I also visited the Cat House of course.  Daisy still growls  and hisses at the others if they approach her, but she did not grumble at me when I   approached and petted her.  She is now totally out and about in  the room and not huddled in the condo.  She now likes to perch on  top of the condo.  The boys go to Petsmmart on Wednesday, so Dory and Daisy will have the Cat House  to themselves and I can  focus on  interacting with   them.  In  between  episodes of  Downton  Abby   I  listened to classical music and totally  avoided news and analysis.  Very  good for the soul  and spirit.  It was just a  perfect day.  And we certainly needed the rain.
