What would your Bengal say?

Apollo's favorite perch. Apollo is THE most nosey cat I have ever had. He is so intensely interested in everything in that Bengal way that he is literally in your face, or with his nose in a bag, or climbing in a closet.

This morning I couldn't find Sakura. I hunted for her, called her, nothing! Then something made me look up and there she was on the fridge freezer. So guess where Apollo is now? Not to be outdone. No more a safe haven for light bulbs and other assorted household 'stuff'. The Bengals have a new perch so everything else will have to go they say.

Tonight Apollo was right there in the kitchen while I got out chicken for tomorrow's dinner. If I could read his thoughts and going by his body language it would go something like this.

Ohhh bag! I wonder if it is treats. No, doesn't smell like treats, smells weird. Chicken? What is she cutting the top of the bag like that for? Attempt to stick nose in to bag.. chicken, funny chicken. taking it out one... twooo.. threee... in another bag, why? What you doing? Water, like water, chicken in water? Huh, not getting chicken, will just go back to microwave and complain.

I feel nervous leaving the slow cooker to cook dinner tomorrow, he wouldn't take the lid off it... would he?

The weekend was beautiful here, temps in the 70's, sunshine, unfortunately Waya was lame Saturday morning, would not put any weight on one of his front legs so he had to go to the vet. Vet said he thought pulled a muscle or two and gave him painkillers. He is getting better each day. He has also lost 10lbs which is great! Solid hunk of handsome muscle our Waya.

I went to the shelter, adopted out a little Dacshund to a lovely family, it was easy really. Jordan our other long time resident was adopted... yaaayyy!!!!!!! He came in just after Dutch so it was great to see him get a home. Our Adoption Coordinator is trying to get a little poodle into small animal rescue. Poor little love has allergies and needs special food which makes her harder to place. In the cat room we had two absolutely gorgeous pure bred Himalayans aged 3 and 6, lots of people looked at them but said, high maintenance. Honestly I would rather they do that than adopt them because they are pretty and then neglect them.

The new girls are doing well and they are up on the website for adoption. I will give them a blog of their own tomorrow.
