Where is my mind?

Sometimes I feel like everyday there is a collection of puzzles delivered to our email boxes. We open mails, decode, and begin tossing around possibilities for solutions…Inevitably the most workable being the ever elusive time machine.

Spay Day Photo Contest again, and this year’s entry is Daisy with Oliver. I’ve been trying to invite as many people as possible to submit their photos and choose Japan Cat Network as their charity of choice.

Yes, that’s our Fantasia, in all of her Christmas spirit, and I can attest to the “nom-stealing“…noms are food, for those not acquainted with lol speak!

….Sunshine + shoulders = happy! Now that Chelsea, Xena, Camden, and Caylee have been integrated back into the kitten room, Daisy has some room to spread out again.

Making new friends

Missing little Oliver who came in so bony and sick but went out to his new placement a chubby little angel! He followed me around like a little puppy, and would begin to howl if he couldn’t find me for some reason, so the house seems too quiet these days without him.

Caught up in the usual rush between classes and cats, though classes more time consuming this week, due to Halloween party planning for children’s classes.

Feeling lucky

Have made it through the days when it seemed too hot to move…cooler weather finally drifting in. We were still using the air conditioner until just recently, mostly for Dayan, spoiled muffin that he is.

Offline but on the job
Saturday, August 14 2010
Over a month of trying to limp along using a broken computer, which eventually quit altogether. We were able to use a desk-top that someone kindly loaned us to check and answer email, but we weren’t able to transfer data because the system on it is older than that of our previous computer.

Well, the good news is that what hasn’t killed us has perhaps made us stronger…the bad news is that Parvo has once again darkened our doorstep.

Hope is the thing with fur…

I keep sitting down to start up writing the blog again, but it’s been difficult for me to find the words to describe the past few months, and the tragedy that was our first encounter with Parvovirus.

5 noisy kitties, and one very tired man left for Tokyo on Valentine’s Day…I helped to get the three kitties from the shelter to the station, and onto the train.

Rehab and recovery

Great news…a couple contacted us interested in fostering Fantasia! If all goes well, and Fantasia is able to get along with the couple’s other two cats that will be arriving in Japan in six months, they’ll adopt her!

Camera friendly

Up at 3:00am, which seems like the darkest part of the night, when you’re caring for a sick one. Gave Sumi a drip, as she hasn’t been able to drink today, and seemed so uncomfortable…
