Kitteh Update 4/27/14: It's So Hard to Say Goodbye

Shy Simon seems to have found a home.  When I went by this morning to check, he wasn't in the shelter anymore.

All five of the kittehs I surrendered to Lakeland SPCA are off the adoption list now.  I hope that means they've found good homes.

To the hoomans that adopted
Inara
River
Zoe
Jayne
Simon
Please take good care of them.  Mama cat Ocean did all she could to raise them up healthy so they can see the world and live their cat lives.

Mal remains an energetic kitteh, pouncing, wrestling, fishing.  I can't tell if he misses his siblings, but he might.

Meanwhile, look at that adoption list link.  So many young kittens to adopt here in Polk County...

Kitteh Update 4/24/14: Farewell Ye Ladies

Just checked the SPCA Florida Adoption page for Adopt A Cat, and it looks as though all three girls - Inara, River and Zoe - have been adopted.

'Tis a pity that Jayne and Simon haven't gone yet.  I know Simon's very shy and Jayne, being a solid black kitteh, will be one of the last ones adopted out: Sad but true - orange-colored and calico kittehs go first, then tuxedos, then tabbys, then solid blacks/whites.  Black cats in particular have that superstition onus that is totally unfair... but Zoe's been taken and she was solid black kitteh, so this is also a bias towards male kittehs, sigh.

As for Mal, he is currently tearing up the house with his Mach-3 speed and ongoing battle against a fishie dangly toy.  More on that later.

Tweet Me: Follow #LibJobShadowFL Today As I Library Up

Follow Me @PaulWartenberg on Twitter today!  I'm tweeting as I work to demonstrate what happens at libraries, what we do to help people, and more.

I'm teaching a class this afternoon on Basic Computing - Internet.  Can I get a Woot! (or is that a Whoop?  I got confused about it)

UPDATE: I finished my run today on tweeting about working at the Bartow Library. You can check it out on Twitter via this link here.

That said, some documentation is in order...

For some reason over Easter weekend, a pair of free-range RV Campers were abandoned on the driveway into the library and city civic center (the grassy area where the tents are is Mosaic Park). Someone wanted to blockade the library. The RVs were moved eventually, but the mystery surrounding this event remains unsolved...

On Monday afternoons I teach computer class. Basic computing skills for the community of Bartow and surrounding cities. Today was Teh Intertubes! Many thanks to the attendees for being patient while I tweeted a few time during class (got to teach them Twitter in the process).

Kitteh Update 4/17/14: Mal the Wrestler

Mal, now with free range of the home, has turned into this explosive furball of energy:

He's trying to chew every power cord in the house...  Bit scared about that.

Kitteh Update: Zoe video

No videos of Simon or River yet from the Lakeland SPCA, but here's Zoe:

Kitteh Update: Jayne video

Also also: Jayne, just chillin... wanting to high five a hooman.

Kitteh Update: Inara video

Update from the previous post: seems River was NOT adopted, she's back on the list :(  I hope it wasn't a bad thing happening to her...

In the meantime, the SPCA has a video clip of some of the kittehs.  Here's Inara:
