A Very Wnter Weekend

Temperatures fell in the state Saturday and the rain came down like winter.

I am not sure we even made 60 degrees on Saturday.  Or Sunday.

Meanwhile, coronavirus cases are increasing in the state since our re opening.  But we continue to re open.

Protests continue in some areas of the state, particularly in Portland where vandals contribute more pain to the already pained business community.

Daphne, the hot mess kitten from Sweet Home, however, is totally into her new life of comfort, love and play.  I'm so happy Selena from Meow Village took her and three others from there.

She sent me this video last night of Daphne on a cat scratcher.

I had returned the cats fixed Friday, on Saturday morning, and while there, caught another little kitten in the board pile.   Chelsea in Lebanon took him in too.  He is the one seen peeking from the within the board pile in a photo I had posted.

I took him to Chelsea and she later sent this photo of him.  Chelsea already had taken in the first two board pile kittens.

I saw Camille and Sandy, two girls fixed over a week ago, on Saturday morning too, when I returned the 8 fixed Friday.  They were on the porch eating.

These cats are well fed.

You can see Sandy's shaved side and spay scar from her flank spay.  She's a beautiful cat.  She was fixed ten days ago.

Then this boy showed up, whom I'd not seen before.  He's awesome looking but does need neutered.  I know of five still needing fixed, including him.  The others are two blacks, one a male for sure, a long hair gray tux, also a male, then the female orange tabby.  There may be others too.

Yesterday I gave up on the world pretty much and slept a lot and cleaned the times I was awake.  I finally watched the last 20 minutes of a movie called The Vast Darkness or something.  It was another aliens come to earth flick, just out I think, 50's era.  Wasn't too bad, but not too good either.  I'd seen Cosmos a couple weeks ago and enjoyed that one a lot.  Cosmos was about three nerdish amateur astronomers out atop a hill in the night, trying out some new equipment, while working out their own relationships, and intercept a signal.  The big climax was them trying to get to another battery pack, in a wild high speed drive scene, so they could finish recording on disk the sounds they heard before battery death and loss of data.  Worked for me!

It took me two days to get through The Vast Darkness or whatever it was named.  I couldn't get into it like I got into Cosmos.

Late in the afternoon, the Sweet Home folks called me and the grand daughter of the colony caretaker had caught two more kittens.  She'd caught these two before, then her grandpa was cleaning stuff up and knocked over the box she'd put them into and they ran back under the house.  I don't know how old the kid is, but she is darn fast at catching these little guys and hanging on, even if they struggle or scratch.

These two make 17 kittens I've received from that one place now.  But then all 9 females I've trapped so far there have been lactating at spay.  I'm sure more kittens will pop up out of the bushes.  Right now any kittens out there will have an abundance of females wanting to nurse them.  The last five have been in great shape compared to the first 12.

I hope to find a rescue or shelter to take them but I think everyone's blocked my number by now because they know I'm going to be asking them to take on kittens.

They're safe in my bathroom for now.

There's maybe one day of half decent weather this week where it may get to the 70's.   Maybe I'll take my kayak up to the lake if we really do make it to the 70's.  We are experiencing an abnormally wet and cool June.

Like Winter here and we don't need that after being cooped up so long.  I took this video in slow motion setting on my phone camera.
