Monday, Monday

The weekend was very busy..... lots of bonding and trapping going on. The servants tried very hard to capture the mom and kitten, but no luck. Also, they tried using a drop trap to get a very trap savvy kitty in a BCCP managed colony. The kitty has what looks to be a horrible cancer over one-half of it's face. The organization has been trying to trap him for a while now. He was also having none of it and instead laid next to the drop trap. They were quite frustrated.
However, there is some good news to report..... the kittens have names and they have stopped hissing at the lady! Sebastian
The tabby with the brownish-black nose is Sebastian. He has started purring and kneading when the lady picks him up.
Reilly
The mostly white tabby, is named Reilly. The lady has been unsuccessful in getting him to purr or make muffins. He did, however, fall asleep in the crook of her arm.
Every morning when the lady checks on kittens, they've managed to flatten the play cube
They are crated for most of the day, but for a few hours they are let out to roam the room. The lady has heard them through the door, playing and running around. But they still run under the beds when she opens the door. Hopefully, this, too, shall pass.

We apologize in advance if we don't get to visit as much as we'd like this week..... Our lady servant has her hands full with even more kittens!

What cute names for such cute kitties! We love hearing about how the kitties are doing but it sounds like this little ones will be finding their forever homes soon.

We love the names chosen for the kittens. And the kittens are SO adorable - smooches.

What a pity about the cat with apparent cancer - we do hope it can be helped. Please do keep us informed - we hate to think of it suffering.

Sebastian and Reilly are beautiful! We think they will be less scared soon. And we're purring for all the other kitties - we especially hope you are able to catch the sick one!

Our mom says thanks to Dana for doing this!

I am so glad that there is progress with the kitens, but sad that the poorly cat hasn't been trapped. It needs help by the sounds of it, so good luck in catching it.

Take care GJ x

Sounds like you've broken through most of the feral behavior with those two kittens and they will be adoptable soon! Great work! :)

Your dedication is amazing! Seeing those little furry happy faces that will now have a better life is the best reward ever....well also trapping the others....it never ends, but neither do the rewards. Good luck helping the MaMa Cat, kitten and that poor sick cat=^Y^=the Cat Street Boyz

Mouchois said...

Reilly may just be one of those kitties like Melvin that doesn't purr too much.
Melvin will only purr very faintly when he is all curled up next to his daddy and mommy at night time on the soft blanket. Then he'll just fall fast asleep

CCL Wendy said...

What great names you have chosen for Sebastian and Reilly! They are a couple of really lucky little kittens and are just beginning to realize it! Nice progress so far. Some day soon they will be purring and kneading their furefur folks, I hope.

Miss Lizzy said...

Oooohhhh, me and the hub were quite taken with little Sebastian. You see, that was the real name of our Monger & your Sebastian looks a great deal like him. It made us very wistful. So glad that the kittens are responding so well. What wonderful work you do!
