Blog #7 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…..

Champ here, for those who don’t know me, I am the senior in these parts.  I’ll be 19 on March 31^st.  Aside from having my chompers removed long ago and now having to receive insulin this last year for being diabetic, I am doing quite well, weighing in at a sleek 14lbs.  I am a bit of a cuddler, okay, not a bit, a lot, love pets.  And when I am not seeking those, well, sometimes I try to get the fridge open to see what the caretakers brought for lunch.  I am rarely successful, but that doesn’t stop be from trying!

We welcomed some more good news the last week.  Oscar, Jitterbug (if you didn’t see her video on KR’s FB, you should, she is so happy!) and Leo got adopted.  And while we had some bad news in that the person interested in Pearlie or Belle, yes, “or” being the operative word here, only wanted to add one special needs kitty to her family, the good news is that, she then opted for our three legged panther, Darby!  So Darby too, is in his forever home.  We hope there is a family out there somewhere that will take our two tortie sisters at some point, but I love that KR recognizes that they are bonded and will not split them up.

Speaking of Pearlie and Belle, Pearlie still hanging out in ISO although getting better.  I guess Belle got tired of waiting for her return so she decided to “fake” a cold so she could go to ISO too.  She got kicked out after 24 hours.  She was okay with that, she just wanted to check on her sister.

Princess Leia is letting her guard down and letting people pet her without swatting them twenty seconds later.  She’s diabetic like me, but a panther.  I kind of admire her spunk, but she should learn to chill, pets are good, real good.  C-Note is eating real well and seems more alert.  Over in the social room, Gobbles is over the noise or maybe just ready to go back outside again. I think they are all getting a little tired of being cooped up over there, but the “Meow-Meow Tattler” says that the FeLV kids may be moving into their new digs this weekend which could mean things start to get back to normal soon.  It’s hard to tell, cause so many of them love snuggling in the big beds and love the forts that have been made for them.  Well, what can I say, we are cats, we change our mind from minute to minute on whether or not we are satisfied!  Morris has become the support cat for those getting fluids on the social room.  For the record, support cat sometimes = treat motivated.  He especially likes to help Saffy and Ming, well; she only has eyes for John still.

I should probably go find a bunker to hunker down in, apparently something called he** is freezing over, there is a rumor that Mimi is taking a day off.  But wait, not one day, but TWO DAYS, in a row even, this weekend…..  Pray for us!  - Champ
