Next time let drifter sniff the brush first so she remembers what it's for ( leave some of her fur in it) Does she still groom them? Maybe she wants to keep that job for her?
Sounds great just let us know when they're ready. I have a big pot to winter them over in the porch room then out into the garden next spring [emoji271][emoji263]
If any will be outside cats, they need neutering and shots even more! Shots keep them alive if they get scratches or bites in a fight and neutering prevents unnecessary pregnancies. Outside cats without shots and neutering live an average of 5 years. Those that have that vet care double their lives. Keep them mostly in the garden wall and triple their lives. And shots need to be on schedule. Find out if heartworm is prevalent in your area and treat that too. Horses won't protect your fig trees! Kits will [emoji3] That being said, I love horses too [emoji206][emoji237] And I don't want to forget to add, you're a great cat Mama[emoji192][emoji250]
They are smart because they have a smart Mama (drifter) and a smart human Mama (you!) Happy Easter. Do you have a lot of bunnies out there yet? I don't see the bunnies here, but I have found clumps of hair around the deck... Maybe they are underneath. My porch room is over part of the deck and Logan and Jackson sniff the floor in that room excitedly when they go in there. Papillons have exquisite sense of smell. If they were bigger, they'd be better trackers than blood hounds. Logan did well yesterday on the treadmill at PT. Then I woke up today and he was covered in $h**. He must have had to go and didn't outside earlier. I went back to sleep(5am) and placed him in his playpen. Good thing I didn't put him under the blanket on my bed like I usually have been doing lately. I woke up to a conundrum. Do I bathe his encrusted self first or clean up the mess in the pen? Stinky morning. All cleaned up now. All before my coffee...Pooh![emoji195][emoji235]
Logan walks better on grass than anything slippery like tiles or wood. His back legs are still wobbly but he's lightning fast. Occasionally he does a handstand and gets up on his front legs. Nobody else has seen this but me and he only does it for a second or two. He did this as a puppy when the snow was a tunnel dug out of the back yard with walls up to my armpits. He used to like to back his butt up to the snow and raise up his back legs and poop onto the wall of snow. He was only a few months old then. When the snow melted in March, he didn't know where to poop.
Mmmmm! I love figs.... In New England, how long would they have to be in a big clay pot before they produce fruit? They'd go into my heated sun room after the summer and then out again after the danger of frost is over. You should see what passes for figs here. You can't even chew them. My Nanny (grandma) used to cook them in juice and then eat them stewed. If she didn't know that I'd be eating them, she'd pour Brandy over them before putting them in the fridge to cool..PS Without the surgery, Logan never would have walked again, so it was a risk, but we were blessed with success and improvement as time goes on [emoji120][emoji120]
Haha! I'll get a medium pot then. As much as I love figs, I couldn't eat 200 in 24 hours. Or I'd never get out of the bathroom ( lol) Looking forward to getting my cutting to plant... Just let me know a few weeks before so I know what I'll need to make them survive...( Rooting powder?) Also we have a ton of chipmunks. They're about the size of big mice and they dig everywhere.. Mostly to get under the fence. They're more of a nuisance than mice which only winter in the shed then I don't see them. The dogs do run after the chipmunks, and keep them from bothering much, when they're out playing
