What’s it like living in a multi-cat household? Sometimes it’s interspecies war. Sometimes it models the UN.

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 [...]

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.

And, from the look of the pictures, these were taken [...]

Well, whenever one of the cats looks like Omar does in these photos.

Well, I was recently given another opportunity; however, this time, I caught Toby in a similarly precious moment. As the cats lay on their [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
