I visit Colleen once a week and have the pleasure of relating to you what I see and hear of our dear girl’s adventures at Tabby’s Place. Most of you probably know that I also receive medical updates on Colleen from Tabby’s Place’s Development Director, Angela, who faithfully and quite humorously fills me in on the latest ups and downs.
I had to laugh just recently when Angela called the Community Room “Colleen’s Community Room.” It is true that, although Colleen is a rather petite cat, she has a big presence. You can’t help but notice her. People pay attention to her antics. When she is hiding in a box or squirreling away in a cage to escape the “kitten madness,” you feel her pain.
I have to admit that not all the kittens in the past few weeks have been “tormenters.” Occasionally, one would jump up and respectfully approach Colleen. I usually held my breath, waiting to see how Colleen would react. As the little one would inch closer and closer, would Colleen put on a mean face, or just ignore her and turn away? As you can see from this photo of Colleen with Malachite, sometimes peaceful coexistence was possible.
On the medical front, it seems that Colleen has another oral infection, which the good folks at Tabby’s Place are treating with an antibiotic.
As always, Colleen and I thank you for your generous support. Enjoy the warm and sunny days that are left before winter is upon us.
