the feed store still has its required number of fish, rabbits, rats, mice, rabbits and crickets after Bentley spent his first anxious night there.

I just returned from checking on him and they had him tucked away in the manager’s office because he was understandably a bit overwhelmed by his new surroundings. I went in and called him and he came right to me. I was gratified to see that he had used the litter pan, and he was eating and drinking so (knock on wood) hopefully, this will work out.

It’s strange not to be working. The feed store brought back from the pet expo these wonderful new pet carriers with two doors! I was drooling over them truly- but I held back and bought cat food instead. I need to talk to my cats though and find out why they still insist on waking me at 4:00 a.m. I am not their preymate. But again this morning- Ms. Fiona jumps in my face mewing that the water fountain had run dry and she needs a drink. It’s not like she is in the middle of the Sahara and there is no other water source around. Plenty of bowls of water are all over this house- but no- she has to drink from the Drinkwell! Silly kitty.

The bottle babies are back with their owner and the other kittens are now fully integrated into the house. Most of the screen doors have now been removed (except for upstairs) I can’t remember the last time where the bedroom door wasn’t screened off. It’s kind of nice to just be able to walk in and out of the rooms now without having to open and close screen doors.
