Oh, Clyde ... the days are few before you leave here. For about a week he's been spending his nights inside with us to get him more used to being inside all the time but he's kept in a separate room, which he puts up with but definitely gets tired of by early morning. Who wants to be closed off from everyone and everything? Not us!

He will be so much happier with the run of a whole (or even a partial) house and with owners who can set him in their lap for as long as he can stand it -- which is a lonnnnnnnng time!

laps are the nearest thing to heaven that Clyde knows

and then there's two

Twee rouses herself from another of her basking sessions in order to find the intrusive camera ...

With the recent warmth and glorious sunshine, we've been spending all our time glued to the window screens or sprawled on the stairs. So you'll have to suffer a few too many pictures of us basking ... however awkwardly:

but then again Beau may sometimes prefer a good toe gnawing instead ...

and, frankly, with such an adorable mug, he can gnaw on my toes any day!

crop circle

It is the strangest thing ...

Twee's crop circle

There is an area around where the feeding tube was in Twee's skin that scabbed over a little as it began healing but, now that the hair is beginning to grow back, it is the one spot where there is dark orange hair growing. All over her body it seems that the base color of her hair is white while the middle and ends of her hair is that lovely marmalade orange. Yet in this particular patch it is coming in orange while the surrounding shaved area is coming in white.

Will it be unnoticeable once all the hair is fully grown in? Or will she end up with some odd little circle of darker orange sprouting from her neck that is not the same orange as the rest of her??? A curious phenomenon that only time will prove ... but why????? Is it just because the scabbed skin is darker than her paler healthy skin and that is why the hair is coming in dark? That cannot be all there is to animal hair color -- some minor and possibly temporary difference in pigmentation. Ideas anyone?

clyde ... gone?

Clyde's always happy to be in someone's arms

Apologies for the blurry shot but we wanted to put one up taken right after he met his possible new owners and this was about the best we could get. Thrilled to be in our feeder's arms in his bathroom quarantine, since we other three still do not wish to deal with him. He has no idea what fate awaits him.

Yup, he met two wonderful people who will take him away next week. Efforts to find him another home have proved successful through the help of our generous advocate Kats (thank you!!!). Though now our feeder is going through the expected woes of losing him. It's so achingly hard to spend all this time gaining trust and building bonds and sharing so much affection and play only to have it end in a goodbye. She's done it before but it never gets easier. Even if we know this will be much better for him. He'll get more concentrated attention and a lot more lap time, his favorite thing in the world (next to food). And no more of the three of us hissing and growling at him whenever he's allowed inside.

It's contingent on whether he can adjust to the new home, of course, where he'll have to make friends with a dog and stay indoors which may be a challenge for him. Or it may be just perfect. He may decide being stroked while sprawled in a lap is more enjoyable than scouting the neighborhood or chasing ground squirrels. We shall see ... love does tend to conquer all. Or at least quite a lot.

the trio lounges in unison but a fly above does not

The fly did eventually make its way down to our level but was never nabbed. Pesky fly evasion tactics but also the mutual kitty lounging moment was more important to us than fly chasing. A sign of maturity perhaps? Or just plain ol' laziness ...
