What's with the weather I wonder. Been up to over 60 some days this week, with sun. Shirt sleeve weather. When our rain comes, we get it in torrents for a day or two, like inches in a day or two. Ah, whtatever. I'm old. I don't care.
I took my drop trap out to the barn, where the mom and kittens are living. Same barn where the cat caught, thought to be mom of kittens, was actually already fixed, with microchip. She's back with her owners. So this time, yeah, we caught the real mom of the kittens and all four kittens. Only three of them were fixed today. They're about 3 months old.
They have a friend who wants to socialize the kittens, so go ahead! Great! The two girls will go there tonight. Ruffles and Truffles. They are darling. Peewee, the orange tabby boy fixed today, along with his brother, who just was trapped this morning, will go join their sisters Monday night, after the unfixed boy is fixed on Monday. Meanwhile, mom goes back to her barn tomorrow.
The fifth cat who went up was from the quarry colony at a Sweet Home homeless camp. I tried for an hour to catch the new show long hair tabby, without any luck. It was warm, and the cats were sleeping in the sun. They relinquished the Siamese mom cats two black long hair kittens. I played with them in my bathroom awhile before, late evening, took them to Keitha's Kitties. Their mom, the Siamese, was fixed today and I'll make the trek up there with her tomorrow.

So that was my day. The two girl kittens went home, but I have the two boy kittens, one fixed, one not fixed yet, plus their mom still here plus Giesha, the Sweet Home mom. The two moms will go home tomorrow, but the boys will be with me til Monday.
Tomorrow I'm putting up my fake tree after I get as much of Gigi's hair out of it. She sleeps in the rafters in the fake tree a lot and has long hair. She belongs to the neighbors who live behind me. So I'll cat hair comb the Christmas tree and slap it up, tie in three directions and hope it survives yet another year.

Those two fluffy black boys won my heart today.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take them on a nice long plane ride south to say, Canberra, and deliver them to you two, for Christmas! Jazz would hate me.
DeletePS: I showed the two black beauties to my partner - who said 'aren't they cute. You would want to take them as a pair - even if you couldn't tell them apart.'
ReplyDeleteYou would want them as a paired set.
DeleteJazz WOULD hate you. We wouldn't.
DeleteBig Mama looks...big.
ReplyDeleteI hope someone sees your tree and compliments you for your effort.
That would be nice. Won't be getting it from the cats. They're so judgemental.
DeleteYour lights are very pretty. Are those multicolored icicle lights? I don't think I've seen multicolored ones before.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are, I love them. They've been around a few years, and still work. I did need a lengthy amount of time for the untangling this year.
DeleteI hope to hit Christmas deco tomorrow afternoon. Hubby and I pulled down the snowman collection.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Oh yeah, the Snowman collection. That's a classic. Can't wait to see it displayed on your blog.
DeleteAll these comments and your responses made me giggle. Bless you, my dear.
ReplyDeleteGlad to make you giggle. Giggling is good.
