As I told you last week we have adopted a nine week old kitten who is totally blind, CeCe arrived on Wednesday and then the fun began. She is absolutely adorable but quite a little individual and I am learning in leaps and bounds. When she arrived she had a very upset tummy, which we assumed was all the stress of two relocations, new food etc, well said 'unhappy tummy' just got worse and worse. It felt like all I did all week was clean, disinfect, clean disinfect, feed, repeat. 😂 Originally we had her in the lounge in the 'playpen' but it turned out easier to keep her in the bathroom in order for her to try and settle down. Eventually on Saturday I spoke to one of the ladies from the Organisation we got her from and she suggested that I get a probiotic and poach chicken breasts and feed that only, what amazing advice it was with almost instantaneous results and her tummy is now 100%. This little madam very quickly got tired of the bathroom and the playpen. Yesterday we let her loose in the main part of the house and good grief she is like a little rocket, more like a bouncing lamb. CeCe walks around by sort of sweeping her front paws sideways and far forward, when she has the layout of the area then it's all systems go and she does these funny little jumps all around the room, not slowly may I add. It is quite intriguing to watch as well as worrying about all the bumps when she runs into something. This morning she was restless so I let her 'loose' and she was running around so fast and bumping into everything that she got extremely frustrated and started growling at the air. I have quickly discovered that to calm her down I wrap her in a blanket and soothe her that way, a lesson I learnt from #kittenlady who is a kitten rescuer in the USA. We have to talk to her and warm her before picking her up or putting her down because otherwise it startles and scares her. Thank the Lord that Jasper is completely intrigued and either sits in front of the playpen, jumps in to see if she's left any food, or follows her around everywhere, the fun begins if she moves suddenly or sneezes because he gets a fright, jumps and runs away. This morning he went into her sandbox and was giving the softest little calls to her as if to say "here I am this is how you do it". As for Gemma she just avoids it all, the dogs, particularly Sasha are curious and at this point haven't actually been introduced because they would be too much for her to handle. This morning Hubby actually saw Max CLIMB over the top of the shoulder high mesh fence into the next yard, even after looking everywhere we could not find him until someone spotted him and called us. A friend asked me this morning how it is going in the zoo and that is exactly what it feels like at the moment.
As a result of the unending busyness and stress I ended up in a full blown Fibro Flare which stupidly and out of necessity I pushed through only to pay the price severely, so yesterday I begged off traveling and quite literally spent most of the day laying down and dealing with the pain, my precious Hubby even brought take always home for supper (the fact that our gas ran out probably helped on that one hehe). Today I pick myself up, dust myself off, straighten my crown, fluff my tutu and start the week. Tomorrow I have another appointment with the Eye Specialist to discuss the way forward on my troublesome left eye so here is praying for wisdom and good news.
Folks I wish you, each and everyone a fantastic week of new opportunities and blessings, let's see how each one of us can make a difference and spread joy to those around us going forward into 2018. Please stay safe and always be aware of your surroundings.
