There’s a New Marker in Our Multi-Cat Household

Just when we think we have control on things in our multi-cat household, one of the cats surprises us. This time it’s Tiny Pea. In her ongoing battle with Pooka and Pishogue, she has found an outlet for her frustration; after she’s been chased onto the kitchen counter, she’s marked on the counter. We’ve gotten [...]

This week’s Friday Feline Find is truly a community fueled blog. Kat’s Cat of the Day is a place to share your beloved cats with other cat lovers around the blogosphere. The pictures, as well as the touching stories, are delightful and often poignant. This is a blog where you can proudly wear your Ailurophile [...]

Indoor Cats Like High Places and a Good Vantage Point

In the wild, cats survey their territory from a high vantage point. They do this for two, important reasons; 1) it protects them from attack, and, 2) it offers cats an early warning when another cat trespasses into their territory. I’ve been noticing this behavior once again demonstrated by two of my indoor cats recently, [...]

Happy Birthday, Mars and Michette!

Happy Birthday to Juga’s aunt and uncle, Mars and Michette! Actually, they were born on the 24th of this month. I’ve posted pictures of this pair of litter mates that were taken when the clowder was very small, comparatively speaking; there were only 5 cats. And, from the look of the pictures, these were taken [...]

When Exactly Do We Need to Vacuum Our Multi-Cat Household?

Well, whenever one of the cats looks like Omar does in these photos. After rolling around on the one, large rug we have in the living room, the cats, especially the black ones, look as if they have the worst case of dandruff ever recorded. And that’s perhaps a better description of the indication of [...]

Cats Sleep in the Cutest Positions

I just love sneaking up on the cats and catching them unawares. I’ve caught Bruce comfortably lounging, documenting a cute side of the once tough feral, in his typical cute position. Well, I was recently given another opportunity; however, this time, I caught Toby in a similarly precious moment. As the cats lay on their [...]

Finally, for the Cats, the Promise of Spring

There is the promise of spring in the air. Although there’s still a chill that lingers in the mornings and evenings, the cats are able to enjoy the outdoor enclosure during the day when we’re at work. When the weather’s still cool, we don’t leave the window open for them because we don’t like coming [...]

Friday Feline Finds: March 21, 2008

I love surfing the internet and finding little entertaining gems built around the cat world, and I’ve come across quite a few really entertaining sites and blogs created by fellow feline lovers. Therefore, I’ve decided to devote Fridays to sharing with you my feline finds on the internet. This Friday, I’m linking to a wonderfully [...]

Expanding the Indoor Cat Territory, Part Two

Along with Pasha, Michette is the only other cat allowed in the front bedroom territory with Zoe and Smudge. By expanding a cat’s territory, especially in a multi-cat household, the stress levels are lessened for a cat that reacts negatively to the situation. Once we added the outdoor enclosure for the cats, the amount of [...]
