The Marygrove 6: Last Spring, the first kitten to be adopted out was little "Wicket" - actually not so little - at the time the biggest, boldest and probably prettiest of the lot. He was the first one picked out by new humans. He went to a young couple with children and a young cat who needed a companion. He became Tigger - his friend was Midnight - and from time to time we would hear that he was doing well... Well. A few days ago Jennifer - professional cat rescuer - heard from the humans that they had had to move and that for the time being the cats were living outside at the old home. At the end of the week they were headed for the Humane Society, and you know what that would mean. When she got there, Jennifer was shocked to discover neither male cat had even been neutered. Midnight and Tigger came back with her to Marygrove, where Midnight was adopted by our friend Pat - human to Petunnia's brother Joshua, and in mourning for her beloved Jacob, lost recently to cancer. Re-christened Wicket, and looking so much like Angel, and so far seeming very healthy, the last of the feral kittens will be fixed next week and housed until he can find a permanent home. A little little bit of goodness in a world full of so much sadness and wrong!

Lizzy recovering: After 48 hours of coughing but not sleeping, the human seems to be a little bit better, thanks to lots of cat and "kitten" love and homemade chicken soup from the Grandhuman...
