I'm back from my quick trip to N.Y. Our Petsitter, Daron, reported that all the felines Big and Small were pretty well behaved. The little ones did manage to "rearrange things" in my bedroom a bit (they are exuberant and like to climb). Since I've been back, I feel like a rock star -- they're all clamoring for my attention. As soon as I sit in the chair, three of the kittens (Charlie, LoverBoy, and Tango) pile into my lap and start purring up a storm. Sierra is still very shy, but I am managing to hold and pet her for a few minutes each day.
Big day tomorrow -- the last three (Bellissima, Sierra, and LoverBoy) are being neutered at FixNation, a nonprofit that fixes strays and tame cats if you reserve a few weeks ahead. Their operation sounds very professional and the rates are good, so I'm looking forward to checking it out in person and taking the final step before the kittens are ready for new homes. Because there is anesthesia involved, I'm instructed to take away the food and water by midnight -- and since all the kittens are together, that means the other three won't be eating breakfast until I manage to capture the three going in and put them into carriers. Wish me luck!
Next a full report on what I've learned about inexpensive places to get cats fixed in L.A.
