I'm so glad to here that Ophie and Blue are doing well. I'm also glad to here that Amy Cat is finally fitting in with the others. It sounds like you will soon have one big happy family.

Soooo pleased Wayne.

Hopefully by now the 'girls' will be feeling a little better and planning mischief!!

Lynne, speaking of mischief, I'm noticing for the past week now, that Princess does not play with the other cats, even though she is nearly fully recovered from her spay operation, and neither has she attempted to go outside any longer. And, you know, come to think of it, I have never seen Princess play with any of the others. Everything she does is so "serious", even her eyes, are so feline in nature, but they exemplify little expression -that is, the have the same look regardless of what she is doing or feeling. It is difficult to determine her mood or what she wants to do by the look in her eyes, having that wide-eyed stare.

Ophelia is a bit more friendly now, after her operation. In fact, she allowed me to pick her up and cuddle her for a little while this evening, something that she was not known for.

Blue has been sleeping most of the days and nights since her operation. In fact, I thought Blue to have gotten outside because she was not seen at the last evening's feeding. Apparently, all she does is sleep in her hiding place, wherever that may be! Also, to note that Blue has the prettiest green eyes of any cat I can remember. Right now, her and Tiger are sharing a window box.

Tiger has made the greatest change, especially after feeding to her Nutra-cal. Remembering the day I brought her home from the restaurant, she was so tiny. But you should see her now, weighing nearly 8 lbs, and she is still getting bigger. Tiger has the most expressive eyes of any of my cats. In the mornings she is running through the house with either Snow cat or Fawn, playing run and hide. It is so funny to watch them play their cat games. Yet, Tiger is not a lap cat, and does not like to be picked up for scritchies. But the only times I can pick her up without a protest, is when she is being carried to her feeding box with the expectation of eating some of her favorite goodies.

also, that Tiger is the most mischevious cat of the lot.

This morning (5/11) she absolutely pestered me for nearly 3 hours until I got out of bed to feed her (and the others). Pestering me: by climbing around on the bed, making noises under the mattress (by "twanging" the springs with her paws), jumping on me from the adjacent shelf, and running over me. Finally, she started to knead my face with her front paws. So, I finally got the idea that Tiger was hungry! She apparently was justifiably hungry -having eaten nearly 1/2 large can of cat food with some kitten chow, and Nutra-cal added. Because of the cool weather this last part of April and first part of May, I have noticed that tiger's and the other's appetites are greater. So, I fed all of them. including the kittens, until they quit eating! What a food intake!
