Clowder Update: Unfortunately, There’s a New Omega Cat in the House

The social structure of the HOP Clowder has changed once again, leaving one of the cats in a freefall from alpha to omega. I knew that a change was going to take place after Onni passed away a few months ago. And, unfortunately, Tiny Pea, once an alpha, is the cat that has fallen to [...]

Multi-Cat Household vs. Beautiful Interiors

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 [...]

The Kitty Tooth Fairy is Coming!

One of my dreamiest dreams as a cat owner is to find the ‘holy grail’ of kittenhood; I dream of finding a feline baby tooth before it’s either swallowed or spit out, lost forever. Why? Because I once read that finding a kitten’s baby teeth after they’ve fallen out is one of the rarest finds [...]

Multi-Cat Households and Poverty?

It’s Blog Action Day 2008! I’m so proud to be a part of this global community and effort. The theme for the second year is Poverty. Multi-cat households and Poverty? Do they go hand in hand?

Friday morning I dropped the kittens off at the vet clinic because they were getting spayed and neutered. Not unlike a mother dropping her child off in front of a school on the first day, my heart was full of concern and love, and I wanted to turn the car around and go back home, [...]

Ariel: June 10, 1990 – October 11, 2008

Good bye, Grande Dame. You were truly a dignified lady who was respected by all. It has been our honor sharing our lives with you. Thank you. _uacct = “UA-3905945-1″; urchinTracker();

The Cats Were Stuck Inside the House, Again

Due to all the rain we got this past weekend, we had to close the outdoor enclosure to the cats. We got a couple inches of rain in a very short period, so we weren’t able to keep the water from collecting on top of the tarp. On Saturday morning, we were greeted with a [...]

Any Port in a Storm

For the first time in six months we got rain Friday and Saturday. Therefore, it’s been six months since the cats have snuggled together, or even with us. That, along with the lower temperatures, has forced the cats to find any port in a storm to keep warm. However, these pictures aren’t rare. I love [...]

Common Quotes of a Multi-Cat Owner: October 3, 2008

1.    The loss of a cat is like that of a limb; time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired. 2.    When you have once found a cat, then be faithful to it – make it your friend – a close friend. 3.    Cats not only improve our manners, [...]
