The Delicate Scent of Kitty

Lychee here. Lucy isn't blogging this week in protest against some royal wedding in some country called Yoo-Kay. I've never heard of it. She said she was disgusted by the media blitz and was in a bad mood all day thursday. None of us have a clue what she's talking about. On friday she raced around frantically for an hour before taking a fainting spell, collapsing on the cat tree muttering "it should have been me..." under her breath.

One of the volunteers has also been acting very strangely recently. Each day she comes in, she does the usual cleaning up (god I LOVE watching them scoop poops, hilarious!) but then she starts pulling apart the furniture and scattering it across the room.

Us feline members of Chatopia have worked hard to get the chairs to smell just right. It takes time, snoozing mostly, and the occassional rebel male to spray a little (before they get the.. heh-hem.. snip snip. After that they're always more subdued). The volunteers meanwhile keep cleaning up after us and spoiling our combined perfume

Anyway, this crazy volunteer has been taking all the lovely scented fabric off the chairs and covering them with some kind of impermeable membrane (sorry about the geek-speak, I've been watching a lot of science documentaries recently). It doesn't smell anything like as nice as the old kitty-doused covers did - but the colours are nice.

Actually, I think it's kind of fabulous. I love tools. Although I tried repeatedly to get involved, I was mostly ignored.


Meanwhile, Tammy was keeping everyone on their toes with some stealth pooping. She managed to squeeze one out on the linoleum in the studio room without being seen - yet somehow they still knew it was her! Baffling. Serves them right for overfilling her litter tray: she likes it tray with just a hint of litter, no more.

Sadly, Tammy, Kyana, Sterling and a few of the others have now left Chatopia. It was nothing to do with the pooping, they've gone to find homes elsewhere. I wish them all the luck, but as for me, there's so much cuddling and love here at Chatopia, I'm happy to live here till my perfect human comes along and finds me.
