The weather turned cold last night and more cats were inside this morning then ever before. The kittens played most of the night throughout the house. I woke expecting to find some breakage, but the only victim of the kitten prey was the paper towel holder. They leaped high enough to break the spindle away and carry off the towels. The towels had no defensive weapons and this morning it looked like it had snowed Bounty in my kitchen.
I got a call last night about Monroe. The home sounds promising, but what people say and what they actually are in real life can sometimes be deceiving as I found out when McKinley went out to his new home. I know I can’t let one wacko stop the adoption of these beautiful creatures. But it has made me very leery. I changed my application form, and am now charging a straight price for every cat and kitten. Before, it was only a donation. I suspect if they can’t come up with the little money I am asking $40.00 then they don’t deserve to have a cat or kitten because they wouldn’t be able to pay for its care.
I am going to open up the rest of the house today and let the two newcomers Babycakes and Madison in with the rest of the clowder. It should be interesting. I really like Madison. She has beautiful coloring, her face is distinct and she has a quiet yet commanding presence about her. I have never seen a long hair tortie such as she is. Her, I would love to keep. But I hope to find homes for the rest of the group now up for adoption here:
