Blog #5 from the sanctuary at Kitten Rescue:

Like sands through the hour glass, (or litter granules through the pooper scooper) these are the Days of Our Nine Lives…..

Greetings all, Abbey here or as I am sometimes referred to when someone’s sense of humor is not up to par, Crabby Abbey. I’ll return to that topic later, but now for some news on the goings ons in the sanctuary.  The renovation has started in the Social Room to make room for the new FeLV area and once that’s complete, the Adoption Center can be built.  So my cohorts on the other side have banded together, there’s lots of snuggling going on while they put up with their area undergoing a new design.  At least KR brings in the best contractors who try their best to keep the noise to a minimum and not be too distracted by our feline cuteness while they try to quickly get the job done.

Over on MY side…. Big things happening, a few home checks for some of our residents and Parker actually left for his new forever home a couple of days ago.  I am happy for him; he came in with his brother Zach who passed last year after their human servant passed.  Then Zach passed last summer, but Parker persevered with his handsome looks and now has a new human servant to train.  Paws crossed for Barley, Tango and a couple others who have potential interest and home checks happening.  More space for me.  (Hmmmm…. Is that why the call me Crabby Abbey?) Oh and some possible interest in Pearlie and Belle, now if they went to a home together that would be the cat’s meow.

Darby went to foster and I am hoping it’s a foster fail.  Not that he wasn’t a dashing panther to have around, but he was taking attention away from me.  Now the problem with Darby who was kind of the new kingpin leaving, is it left a void.  Enter stage left… Percy.. yes, little Percy has stepped up, winning hearts over and commanding all the play time.  He won’t even let Batman play and Batman now doesn’t know what to do with his superhero status.  I think Percy got kicked out and is in the nursery since then.  I hear he’s doing better with younger kittens to play with, lots of energy that panther.  Uncle Mario is out of ISO and back with Bitey-Face, but Bob is still watching us from ISO.  He’s a handsome little guy.  C-Note is doing better, Simone is getting around but Pumkin, Silver and Champ have the spotlight on them this week. 

Back to me, I don’t really have to have all the attention, but I do get very upset when someone gets in my enclosure.  For example, today, I was in there napping and minding my own business when first Princess Leia came in and then Oscar of all cats who is scared of his own shadow, wandered on in.  Hello, there is no “Welcome” sign outside my door… geeesh…  The caretakers are making me crazy too, lately.  They keep trying to get me to eat more, I should maybe listen… but I am a cat.  And OMG, they cut my nails far shorter than I would have liked them and they wonder why I get crabby?  - Abbey
