One other time I can get great pictures of the cats, besides when they’re sleeping, is when they’re intently watching something running or flying outside beyond the windows. Just outside my bedroom window there is a large Dogwood Tree with a tall cement birdbath underneath it. Blue Jays, finches, sparrows, and squirrels visit daily, giving [...]

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! Here are some pictures I took of the cats this Thanksgiving morning. Yes, despite all the messes we clean up, the 5 litter boxes we clean twice daily, the myriad fights we have to break up, and the gallons of stain and odor remover we buy monthly, I’m indeed thankful for all [...]

Making sure that Omar’s getting enough to eat I’m giving him a can of Fancy Feast every day. Since finding out that he needs dental surgery and isn’t eating much of the dry food due to discomfort, I’m feeding him separately. However, this isn’t easy in a multi-cat household; I’ve had to create a private [...]

These pictures make me smile. Not only because Toby’s incredibly cute, but also because he’s incredibly relaxed. Over the past month I’ve noticed that Toby’s sleeping in the living room more often. He prefers napping on the couch rather than on Mom’s bed, where all the main clowder cats usually nap, and he isn’t intimidated [...]

In this multi-cat household the cats must often vie for human attention. Since it’s just the two of us, there aren’t many laps and arms to go around keeping several needy cats happy at once. We do try. We have no choice. As soon as we sit down in the living room, 3 or 4 [...]

Omar’s blood work showed that he’s in great health. Everything looks good, and there’s no indication that he’s suffering from a thyroid problem. He’s in perfect condition to go under sedation. And, that’s exactly what he’ll be doing on December 4th. As we thought, Omar’s teeth are causing a bit of a problem. The blood [...]

This past weekend as I was working on my computer one afternoon, Desert was napping on my bed. When I noticed her, the light in the bedroom was beautiful, making the colors soft and muted, and she looked so comfortable lying amongst the rumpled sheets. During this time of year the sun hangs low in [...]

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 [...]

A bad odor can be a sign that something’s physically wrong with a cat and that a medical issue needs addressing as soon as possible. Several weeks ago I noticed that Omar has very bad breath. I had a good look in his mouth recently, and his teeth looked as if they needed to be [...]
