BUILD IT AND THEY WILL CLIMB..........
Project Adventure Playground, Stage One, has now been completed in the foster kitten room. It`s not a large room, so we needed to be a tad creative to give them more space.
Several people gifted me their sick and broken cat trees, which I harvested for usable body parts, and thus created Dr. Philistein`s monster.........
We only have two fosters at the moment, a mother and baby, but they have both enthusiastically endorsed the extension!

A LOVE STORY FOR THE WEEKEND.............
A year or so ago, we got asked to look after Bella and Tigger, while their regular servants were away. After a couple of shy and cautious days they succumbed to Karen`s wondrous charms, and became more and more and more and more affectionate (get the idea?)
Karen has just completed another long gig with them, and is now completely besotted with them. Of course we would never have favourites, but they`re her favourites!
Tigger is happy to be continually stroked, but Bella has a most idiosyncratic need: she just has to spend all the time suckling on Karen`s neck!

14..1.2025: RIP, wonderful Sid............
I`ve cared for Sid, and his brothers Fred and Nelson, for two or three years now, and today my catsitting world is impoverished.
Sid, like many cats, had a magnificent personality, a loving nature, and two Great Passions: food and Thyronorm!
Now, I understand the passion for food, but Thyronorm? Twice a day he needed his 2ml. of medication for his errant thyroid: twice a day he hassled impatiently as I prepared his meds, then lunged at the syringe as soon as it was proffered, chewing it to get every last bit of flavour out of it. It`s the only time I`ve seem syringes looking like children`s biros, ending in a mis-shapen lump of chewed plastic!
In fact, it aroused my curiosity to the point where I tried some of his beloved drug. Verdict: at best, bitter. Go figure. The obvious answer has to be "Because cat".........
Sid, you were adorable and much loved, and will leave a large hole in the cat galaxy. But I`m so glad I got to know you. ###
(Of course, I`m not suggesting that anyone be stupid enough to actually try their cat`s medication!)

MEET THE MOGNIFICENT SEVEN!
Lottie, Amelia, Rosie, Dick, Harry Half-Dick, Sooty and Sweep weren`t born here, but turned up when Lottie and Amelia were about ten weeks, the others about eight weeks.
They`re a wonderful, varied bunch, and Lottie and Amelia are the most affectionate kittens we`ve ever met. I keep catching my mind scheming ways to not let them go............

11.7.2024 RIP Erik.........
I started looking after this gentle soul, along with his brother Sweeney, in December 2019, and it was a long and rocky road to acceptance. Sweeney was the friendlier of the two, communicating with hisses or hisses, even while taking Dreamies from my hand. But Erik I just didn`t see. Even a year into looking after him, I`d still never seen him. In fact, I wasn`t totally convinced that he actually existed: was I dealing with Schrodinger`s cat?
Then, one day, a flash of black, disappearing into a mound of household effects! And so it continued for nearly another year. It was a difficult year for him, in which his brother Sweeney passed on, and he became the man of the house.
He obviously took his responsibilities seriously as, not long after, he stayed in the same room as me without fleeing. And so it continued, until he let me feed him Dreamies, and hey presto, we became friends! Pretty soon, whenever I went into the house, I`d hear a little thud, as he jumped off the windowsill, and a pitter-patter as he trotted downstairs to weave between my legs, purring and nuzzling all the while.
My hard-work, high-maintenance, worth-every-minute friend, Erik........

PEOPLE! HELP!! NOW!!!
We need to borrow some Felliway plug-ins for a couple of days. We have the refills, but not enough plugs! Local animal groups won`t even post my request.........

UPDATE:- I`d like to thank you all for your offers of help. I`d also like to thank my mum, the director and my agent, without whom none of this would have been possible......hang on, wrong speech! Thank you for all your offers of Felliway plug-ins, my need of which has been more than satisfied.

With sincerest apologies, it`s been an overwhelming year, and I`ve neglected to post in this group. I`m about to attempt to rectify that, in the mother of all posts.
Most of these are new clients, a few new shots of old ones. I hope you enjoy this eclectic mix, and some of you recognise your own babies!
