Keeping It In The Family



My little sis is finally moving out so she made me reserve her any kittens born at the cattery in the last few weeks so she can give them a new home once she's settled in. Two and a half weeks ago Daphne gave birth to two boys and they're already huge. What's more, Liz and her boyfriend Mark have fallen in love with Daphne so they're taking the three of them! The downside is Liz wants to give them crappy names - Rosie, Alvin and Theo - but at least they'll all be together. She does need to have a home visit, which she isn't too happy about, but from what I've seen so far the place looks safe and secure.

In other pet news I took my young buns to be neutered on Tuesday and what a palaver that was! Getting them there was no problem, my vet wants them there at 10ish, as there was a few people already in the waiting room I left them with the receptionist and went home expecting a call around 2pm. They're usually so quiet everything's done nice and early so I figured I'd have time to keep an eye on them after their ops and settle them home ok - how wrong was I! At 4 pm I still hadn't received a call so I called the receptionist who said they probably be done in half and hour and would call, by this time my mum, my lift, had to go out so I had to call my sister who had my car and ask her to pick them up when she finished work at 5pm. The only thing was they still weren't ready at 5pm so she had to wait another half hour. Then when they were finally home they were still very wobbly so I had to set them up in my room for the night - that was fun! I've got an indoor pen for emergencies which I set up in the corner and everytime I got up (it was a hot night) they got spooked and thumped. Tilly liked the company though, lol. Now all's fine and you wouldn't know anything had happened.

Animals! Who'd have 'em?!
