Cleaning day yay :(
House is easy.
The shed however is a different story.
Edit:
Oh I forgot. Big stray cats update:
I've got some great help!!!
I found a vet that will spay them for free, and some places that are interested in taking them after spaying. But they need somewhere to chill while they're healing up.
Enter the brick shed.
I'm about 2/3rds of the way through cleaning it out. Lots of boxes for hiding, I've got this roll of fake grass that's been in the backyard since I moved in. Heavy fucker, but I'm going to try to get it in the shed today after I've finished tidying.
I have several cat carriers for transporting fluff balls.
I have a massive play pen thing that'll have blankets etc for chilling out.
I have a portable aircon for hot days (already had it)
All that's missing is a couple of those industrial fans from bunnings, then the cats themselves.
The cat traps are being delivered on Wednesday.
Progress!!
Love what you're doing for them, it's so sweet!
I feel like it's some kind of ancestral DNA thing at this point lol
That’s fantastic news! The shed is a real asset
Same. I might do a bit of garden tidy today. It’s cool enough to be outside, and weeds anre easier to pull out when the soil is damp.
The cat man has emerged!
Wow! Glad you finally found some help
Good news about cats. 🙂
