September 30, 2009 by templetons
Cats featured today: Emily, Smokey and Soxy

Usually a bit cranky, Emily is calming down and may even accept a cuddle in a day or two
Smokey was very sick with a tick when he came in , but seems to be his old self today

Smokey inspects the table leg during a tour of the office
Cliffy and Soxy came in yesterday, their first time in a cattery. They are very cautious and Cliffy was unable to come out for photos, but Soxy posed in the box she arrived in.

Soxy's Theory: If you get back in the box you came in, you might go home.

All pusses well but with doors closed since noon today due to the wind and dust.
This is what our street looked like. Clearing up now, it seems that it will be gone to sea by Friday.

Guests featured today Mandy, Lilly and Sasha, Minty and Fifi, ChloeH and Zaza
When cats get lost there is always hope of finding them. My own cat Tessie disappeared for 21 days once and I made a promise that I wouldn’t eat chocolate for 2 years if she came back and she did and she was blind at the time! Of course I kept my promise.
Read about this lost cat.

Cats featured: Chichi, Jasper, Joey, Michael, Rascal and Tiger
School holidays are here and we are full. Cujo left yesterday and we welcomed Chloe a 12 yo British Blue X adopted at 11 at the AWL, how wonderful that there are kind hearted people that adopt older cats.
Minty a black Persian had a brush (not happy) and we got rid of some of her knots. Fifi enjoyed hers but only for a short time, photos soon.
Beautiful weather with warm sunny days and cool nights, we love this time of the year.

Chichi waits for her cuddle time very patiently and helps at the office frequently.

Most adorable and good natured
Joey stayed in while Tiger came out for a walk and looked out through our window. Both doing well, but shy.

I'm staying here, Joey
