It’s been a while since we’ve left the front door and windows open, enjoying the weather. However, yesterday was a lovely Autumn day. It was still a bit on the cool side for me, but not enough to make me complain. So, as we cleaned the HOP in the morning, we decided to allow some [...]

In the early years of the HOP, it was no problem keeping it clean and smelling great. However, as more indoor cats have called it home over the past nine years, it’s been more of a challenge keeping it smelling great. Ironically, the HOP stays tidy and clutter-free because we can’t leave anything out for [...]

Several weeks ago we officially began keeping the bathroom door closed so that the cats could no longer wreck havoc in this room that we’d really like kept clean, for understandable reasons. Plus, we just wanted a place, albeit a very small place, of privacy for ourselves. Well, it’s working out marvelously! The cats have [...]

Living in a multi-cat household with 19 cats, we don’t have a lot of privacy. Heck, we don’t have any privacy! Wherever we go in the HOP, the cats go as well. They sleep on our beds, they sit on our couches and watch television with us, and they even escort us to the bathroom. [...]

Does the second picture in today’s post look familiar? That’s what our living room used to look like. Well, at least, that’s the furniture that used to be in our living room. Little by little several pieces of our furniture have made their way out into the enclosure, and we’ve replaced each one. The second [...]

My cats have taught me that it’s the little things I do inside my house that keep them happy, especially when it comes to regularly cleaning their things and favorite areas. A few cleaning chores done on a regular basis make all the difference when living with cats. Cats appreciate cleanliness and really enjoy watching [...]

I read lots of blogs. And, not just cat blogs. My favorite at the moment have to do with interior design and fashion. I love the pictures. I love the fantasy. I love the impossibility of such sumptuous living when living in a multi-cat household. I make time each day when I sit at my [...]

After a week, we realized that our big experiment with the litter boxes wasn’t going to work. Even though we were thinking first and foremost of our cat’s comfort, we were also hoping to make our house cleaning easier and quicker and keep from spending money on cat litter. We’ll have to look elsewhere to [...]

While watching the cats enjoy their Sunday treat (canned food), we noticed that Michette ate next to Reina. In fact, they were eating from the same plate. She was also surrounded and flanked by a couple of other cats. However, Michette didn’t growl or run off before she’d had her fill, only to return later [...]

This entire week, Mom and I have been throwing out everything conceivable into a 30-yard dumpster we ordered on Monday. It’s filling up with everything that we don’t need, want, or that’s been destroyed by the cats; mainly by the cat’s marking. Also, we’ve thrown most of the outdoor furniture into the dumpster that had [...]
