[astrid]

OMG!!
Thank God everyone is fine, my prayers for Lavinia!!
God bless the person who called the Fire Departament and all the people who helped, especially YOU for taking care of the furbabies.

Merry Christmas to you and your kitties at home!

Praise Our Lord God that all are well and that the house did not go completely under!!!
I almost that happen a few months ago when one of the pot heads fell asleep and set the rented house on fire.

We are so close that the Found Cat Hotel may have been next!!
Thank God for he Miracle of All Twelve Cats safe and sound

What a horrifying ordeal for everyone! I'm so glad the kitties are OK and the fire was relatively contained.

I picked her up just after noon. The checkout person told me to watch her, make sure she's eating and drinking and getting back to her normal state.

Well, we got back home.. She hopped out of the carrier box, looking around like "YAY! I'm HOME!!!!" but then.. "What's that yucky smell?" There is still some smoke odor around, and a lot of debris everywhere.

I got out a couple cans of nice wet food and put some on a plate on the floor for them. Boy, she tucked right into that like there was no tomorrow! NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!!!!

So I guess she's eating all right..

I did the other chores I do when I go there, and meanwhile she was exploring around, seeing all her friends, checking out on what's the same and what's different.. Making sure that the things she counts on (food, water, litter, bedding) are there where and for when she wants them.

I called Simon to update him. He was glad to hear all this. Tomorrow I will go get more food and litter for them, because all the supplies were in the room which got burned out. There was enough wet food in the kitchen for them today, no more kibble or fresh litter, so we're all out now. I brought along a couple of gallon jugs of fresh tap-water, so the water dishes all got refilled with new.
