During the week my brother and sister-in-law visited the HOP for Christmas, only Smudge stayed in the front bedroom with them and their cats. Zoe, Muli, Preacher, and Brava were forbidden to enter the room because my brother’s cats were upset by their appearance in the room. Smudge is an incredibly friendly and submissive cat, [...]

Not only did the cats have fun with their Christmas gifts, but they actually had fun with anything that fell on the floor. And, on Christmas morning the most fun things that wind up on the floor are the boxes, bags, bows, and wrapping paper that wrap our gifts. Once those wrappings flew from our [...]

If Pixie isn’t showered with love and attention at all times, she pouts. Oh, yes, a cat can pout, and Pixie is a pro at this because she’s a princess. Mom and I will get the cold shoulder treatment by Pixie if she isn’t sufficiently worshipped. So, in keeping with the Christmas theme, she was [...]

This post is one day late. Sorry. Ya know, Christmas fun and all. Let’s admit that if you want to create a stand out blog, it’s best to find a niche. However, blogs must be more refined; you mustn’t create just a simple niche, but a sub-niche of a niche. For example, this isn’t only [...]

Sometime before sunrise, Mom set up the Christmas Tree. When I woke up, I was very surprised to see it up and decorated, albeit with only red and gold balls, “I slept through all that?” I asked Mom when I sat up in bed. She nodded, smiling, perhaps remembering that family reunion when, at the [...]

My brother and sister-in-law have two, female cats named Pattern and Desert. Actually, their full names are, Quilted Pattern and Painted Desert. I love the creative names! Since Saturday, we’ve made room in the HOP for two more cats, and it’s been just fine. The HOP has had as many as 20 cats (but, that [...]

Last year we experienced a Christmas miracle between my brother and Pooka. For years Pooka was a Grinch towards my brother when he visited at Christmas, just stopping short of ripping his gifts apart and then coughing up a hair ball on top of them. And, I’m happy to tell you all that the miracle [...]

My brother and sister-in-law are here for Christmas from Southern California, and the cats have mixed emotions about they’re arrival; they’re both bewildered and happy hosts. The new and louder voices, new smells, and new routines are confusing and startling the cats. The first 24 hours are over, so the cats have settled. Some of [...]

T’was a week before Christmas, When all through the home, I wasn’t sleeping, Because all of the cats did roam; The garlands were hung on the ceiling fans with care, In hopes that the cats couldn’t jump up there; I was surrounded by nine cats in my bed, While visions of chewed presents stomped in [...]

Brava is one of the first cats out in the outdoor enclosure as soon as the window is opened in the morning. She dashes out there and without pausing, jumps off the table, and runs around the enclosure, looking for leaves, pine needles, or acorns to bat around. However, on Monday, she stopped short of [...]
