Thanks! Inky is definitely loved already. Doesn't take long for a critter to worm her way into my heart.

Inky was declawed yesterday so now I have a chance at keeping my eyesight. She scratched both my eyelid and Dynaguy's eyelid while we were sleeping. I meant to declaw her next week but she had to go in early to save our skin, literally. She's up to 2.8 lbs already.

Momma Cat was spayed on Monday and released back into our yard on Tuesday afternoon. Haven't seen her since! I think she is mad at us and is boycotting the food I have out for her.

We didn't catch Daddy Cat yet, although we almost got a racoon last night. We extended our appointment with the Humane Society into next week so we have another week to try to catch him. There have been no cats near the trap since Monday when we caught Momma Cat. This may take a lot longer than I thought.

The good news is that we are having unbelievable warm weather here in Wisconsin in January. We were in the low 50's today which is more like April weather. No snow on the ground at all. It's good weather for cats to be outside moving around so I'm still hopeful we'll be successful at trapping Daddy Cat.

If these adult cats are true ferals, are they cropping their left ears?

Yes. Momma Cat had a notch in her ear although we forgot to look for it before we let her go. HAWS did tell me that the standard was to spay, give the rabies vaccine and then notch the left ear.

 

[Muushka]

Notch? Around here the literraly chop off the last 1/2" or so.

Our feral has a notch in her right ear and chopped off left ear!

Hey Jimmy

Do you ever check the TUG boards? Often in Dec you can pick up a 2 BR at Bonnet Creek for a great price.
And it is a nice place to stay too!

Say, isn't there supposed to be a NC branch of the VWL Groupies lunch in the near future??

Off topic..

We rarely watch normal TV shows. We have Netflix and I started watching The Office. Oh my gosh. I love that show!

 

[wildernessDad]

I'm just popping on to post our (Me, DH, DS) December vacation plans. Here tis!

12/1 - 12/9 VWL

Not a bad place to stay, I think. Don't you?

Maybe I'll get to meet some of my fellow groupies this year.

Still looking at dates. But yes, December is definitely on the agenda.

Neither do we.

But I have lots of different series on DVD that we watch. And The Office is one of my favorites of "newer" tv series. Oh it just cracks me up.

Would love to be there this year but financially cant swing it with an upcoming early Feb 2013 trip.

And you are right, we have a get together supposed to be coming. Was thinking about that yesterday.

We're booked for early December.

The way it looks for us it will be 2013 before Kati and I are back in December. That stays in line with our every other year decision.

But, my sweet adorable loving DH was talking to me the other day about our May trip, plus we were going over things the kids and I had done on the December trip and he asked if I was going to consider going again this year in December and I made a comment about the kid's birthdays and wishing I could take them both to celebrate and he said "you have the passes, why not go ahead!!"

So today I made the reservation to check into the VWL on September 19 thru September 26, 2012. That gets us into the lodge on Kati's birthday (9-19) and we leave on DS's birthday 9-26. That works really well having their birthdays one week apart (plus 7 years!!)
This will be the first time for me to go to WDW three times in a one year period. Kati is so looking forward to be able to go twice in a year. Does not take much to make our day!!!
I have also never been to Florida in the Fall before.

I hope everyone had a really good New Year holiday.

What time do you leave on the 9th? That is our first day.

Yes, your 2013 vacation plans are awesome!

Go twokats! 3 times in 1 year!

OH HOW FUN! That is so very awesome for her! (Great for you, great but kind of sad for him - that whole leaving thing). Say hi to Kati for me!

Will do!!!

As long as he gets to go to the gameroom, I think he will be happy. He is not as big of a WDW fanatic as his sister is, but he thought it was great that we could go for both their special days. Plus we don't usually leave until mid-afternoon, so the bulk of the day will be at the world.

Kati was absolutely glowing when I told her the reservation was made.
