Yes, I pop in from time to time.

Awww, Phyllis! She's just being thorough.

If you watched and listened to the distress she seems to be in.......... well it makes me sad that she has to go through this every day.

I wonder if her former keepers couldn't deal with the closeness this kitty needs. Why was she being rehomed? Your kindness and love will be a great help to her!

They had many others and were trying to place 2 other kittens/cats as well.

I’m looking to replace Emma. Poor Jaffar has no interest in the others now. If I can find a NHR same as Emma.

You are sweet to do this for him. I'm sure he is grieving as well. Poor fellow.

Orpingtons are dual purpose birds. They carry much more weight on their body frame than others. They will never be lean. Please don't try to make her lean.

I don’t interfere. They eat whenever they want.

I think she looks exactly as a BO should. All those lovely loose feathers

My new cat wants me up at 5 am now. Way too early for me. I am not a morning person.

Play her out at night. I had to do that with Marigold. She'd be asleep by 8 or 9 and then up at 4 or 5 in the morning. I'd wake her up and play with her for 30 to 45 minutes and then she'd sleep until 6 or 7 when I had to get up anyway.

Well that part I don't like!

Yes. Jaffar and Emma were very close. I do feel sorry for him.
He always shared his perch with her.

I am truly surprised at that. Hattie has always been a large bodied girl as she is supposed to be. The disappointment for me is Sydney and Sansa. They were also supposed to be dual purpose ladies and they are Lilly sized.

I'm not looking to fulfill that second purpose but I was hoping to get Hattie a similar sized friend. Her and Sydney are hanging out these days so that worked out but I am surprised at how small they actually are.

Interesting, isn’t it, Bob? Maybe because they’re hatchery birds? Roxy is small for a Wyandotte, too.
