Kudos to you for giving adult rescues a chance. When we last went to the shelter, although we brought home 2 kittens, we also brought home a 3 yr old who was tossed; all 3 have adjusted well and let all know that they OWN this house, lol. So glad to hear about Lucy's recovery.Chelle Corderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15412268726863698528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-29835023019511556412014-07-05T13:03:28.436-07:002014-07-05T13:03:28.436-07:00Hilary, I hope so too, looking forward to a quiete...Hilary, I hope so too, looking forward to a quieter week!<br /><br />Mynx, the kitties are settling in fine - confined to the kids' suite for now until we can trust that they know where "home" is.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-25032198701914633522014-07-05T04:25:45.028-07:002014-07-05T04:25:45.028-07:00It has always been my experience that these things...It has always been my experience that these things come in waves.<br />I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved older kitties<br />Your new kitties are gorgeous.

She's blind and a lot skinnier, but she's still eating and in good spirits. <br /><br />Your Callie looks just like a stray cat that lives outside my apartment complex. And if you can believe it, I named her Callie! :D <br /><br />Callie and Cleo are beautiful cats.

Sad, but not unexpected. But I am so relieved Lucy pulled through - that would have been devastating.<br /><br />Donna, the two newcomers have not presented problems (yet!). The sick one was new to us as a kitten a year and a half ago.<br /><br />Delores, it's usually that last little thing that does it. This is on top of the car problems we had last month (and are still having).<br /><br />Jean, I hope we can give them a good home and a good life.<br /><br />Crystal, that sounds like a nightmare. Plumbing is something we take for granted but it's messy when it fouls up :(<br /><br />Alex, so far things are still flowing well.<br /><br />Gary, we've been taking adults since we had children. Lucy was our first kitten for years - fun for a while but honestly adults settle in so much better.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-68340777075341589882014-07-02T14:31:03.465-07:002014-07-02T14:31:03.465-07:00Hi Ian,

I'm heartened you got a couple of adult rescue cats. That's a good thing to do. Lucy is on the mend. That's excellent, Ian.<br /><br />I wonder if you miss British drains and toilets, for that matter.<br /><br />A belated Happy Canada Day, eh, to you and your loved ones.<br /><br />Gary :) klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-66730466644524571772014-07-02T13:56:12.368-07:002014-07-02T13:56:12.368-07:00Between the snake and the Drano, hopefully the lin...Between the snake and the Drano, hopefully the line doesn't back up again.<br />Sorry about your two cats.

After we got into our last house (one week in) the plumbing backed up, and no matter what we did, it kept backing up until we called a plumber...who flooded our bathroom. Several thousand dollars worth of repairs later... That was the bad part. The good part, the home owners insurance money came right as our van died. We'd have been dead in the water without that money, so there's often a purpose in the crazy or bad.
