The Cats – New Addition: Blackie

Adopted Blackie on 9/28/2020 (whose Human was Sean O. Sean passed away January 4, 2020 and the folks at the former HA HQ were taking care of Blackie. A few weeks ago, the City informed my friends that they needed to move out (eventually I believe the building will be torn down). My shop is across the parking lot from where Blackie used to live. Blackie is a very sweet kitty. Sean’s dog Tyson was taken in by Sean’s fiancee. I have drone videos of Tyson taken by my friend Chris P. from last year that I may post here or create a link to my Facebook page.

MiscToo and LuVee (The “Girls”) seemingly have no problem with Blackie being here. However, Blackie is afraid, so I created his own man (oops, cat) cave in the Forbidden Zone of my basement. 1/2 of my basement is finished off, and the area that Blackie is in is unfinished. 2 rooms: I will call one of them the laundry room; the other room is my workshop. There is a bi-fold door separating these 2 areas and The Girls are not allowed in this area, hence the name Forbidden Zone.

Took a fecal sample to the vet yesterday (9/29) came back with negative results! And Blackie has an appointment next week for a wellness check, and whatever needs to be done. Blackie will be an indoor cat.

Blackie took right to using the litter box!

Bought a lamp last night (9/29/2020). $10 !

Changed the bulb to LED 60 watt equivalent; uses 10 watts of power.

I took Blackie “home” 9/28/2020 in late afternoon. He did not purr until many hours later. Here he is in his Cat Cave.
