Oh, good work, Carole!

Just thought you would all be interested to know how young Zara is, she is doing ok, she is rather scared so she does not seem as good as Victoria was, however she did eat her food i left her, but must have been when I went to sleep, she has not eaten this morning, and just stays huddled in the corner, I did however manage to stroke her back, she just stared at me, she has the most beautiful almond shaped eyes, looks like eyeliner around them, her eyes were pretty glazed over last night, but look normal today.

For a feral cat she is an angel, she does not even flinch when i put her food in, or at noises, however i have kept those to a limit, we have a very small laundry where i have put the cage, but shifted it into the hallway to put on the washing machine as that would scare her, so house in a topsy turvy at the moment, but who cares, as long as Zara is ok.

I would love to release her as i know she is not happy being caged, she has been caged overnite and all day at the vets and today of course, but the weather is atrocious here, one minute sun, next thunder and hail, i also can keep an eye on her food intake etc, the cage is not that big, but does have room for a small dirt box food and a small space for her to lie in, but i do wish i had something a tad larger.

She does look sad poor wee thing, and scared but she is handling it all extremely well and I am ever so proud of her, I talk softly to her and tell her what a good girl she is and call her name, so she can get used to me even more.

Duchess and vicky came over last night for a feed, poor Duchess was absolutely starving, she woofed it down like no tomorrow, she is feeding babies and not getting the nutrition she needs, she always seems to not be around when the owner feeds her which is not every day , that i am sure of, she housesits two days a week,and told me she makes good money, i was thinking to myself , yes well then you could have afforded to get these cats done, but i never said anything, she just would not do it and could not be bothered so I had to step in, some people will just never be good responsible pet owners, the two girls are way too thin for owned pets, they look pretty healthy otherwise suprisingly,but you can see their hip bones sticking through, i can pat Duchess no problem, she is my next one to be spayed when I find her other kittens, hopefully she will bring them out soon, she is a sweetie pie, and vicky and I had cuddles and smooches for about ten mins, it still amazes me that she still will hiss and spit at me,even though she knows me well now and cuddles etc, whereas Zara has never done that, and never makes a sound, not one miaow out of her yet.

Well that is the uppydate on the kitties for today.
