Inspection

I brought the new bed/play station and feeding station home for inspection. My cats Eko, Quality Control Inspector, and Tigra, Safety Inspector, were ready to check it all out!
They couldn't wait to get started!
After their Larry/Curly moment, Eko decided ladies first!
Eko then settled in and thought it was just right.
The bed passed inspection!

Odds and Ends

Now that the kittens have been spayed and neutered, I am ready to let them out of the crate to roam free with mama. I picked up a few supplies and a friend, Henry, allowed me to work in his workshop to build a sleep/play station and a feeding station.
Henry also let me borrow his assistant, Garfield!Garfield was such a great help. Here he is checking my measurements and alignment on the feeding station.
He checked the space inside the bed.
Then he checked the jungle gym for safety.
Finally, he gave me to ok! Thank you Henry and Garfield for all your help!

Mother of the Year

Mama has done a tremdous job taking care of her babies. Even outside the crate! Here she is guarding the crate when I walked in one morning. So cute!

The Talker

This is "The Talker". I was having coffee one day with my neighbor and we heard this guy at the door. We walked out and she says, this guy has been coming around for a few days. I tell her I saw him last week when I was trapping down the street. This guy did not want any food and just wanted to snuggle with me. He would just roll over on his back and yell at me to rub his belly! I never got him, but it turns out we see he is already neutered. So I took a few pics and some video to send out to the rescue groups to see if someone would take this handsome guy. No-one has seen him since, we hope he was invited in to a loving home. Look at these markings! And the eyes! Beautiful cat.
Check out the video of him talking and begging for lovins!

The Beast

Beauty (Tabby) and Beast (Black) were also trapped at the Bakery. Beauty has since been seen often basking in the sunlight in the outside area and coming out for food when I pass by.Beast, however, was not interested in being an outdoor cat. Less than a week after being neutered he was spotted tw0 and a half blocks away on my neighbor's porch. I brought him back to the bakery and a week later he was on her porch again! So we decided, this guy wants a home. He was pretty skinny and would not eat, unless...he was sitting on someone's lap! And then we saw him eat "like a Beast" and he got his name. So Mildred fostered him for a week and nursed him back to health.
Here he is with his foster mama, Mildred, and another neighbor and fan. We all came to say goodbye to the Beast and wish him well in his new home.
Look at this guy, he is such a MUSH! And does he love this foster mama or what? I have never seen such a lover boy kitten!
Here is Beast in his new home. His new mama, Morgan, is holding him and introducing him to her granddaughter.
I knew things would be just fine when I saw Beast eating while sitting on his new mama's lap!
Morgan re-named Beast "Mush-Man". She has called me a couple of times and tells me he is doing great and is very happy! Good luck Mush-Man!
