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

What’s so very perfect with the pictures I posted today of Desert? Yes, she’s cute. Check. Yes, she’s sleeping quietly. Check. But, it isn’t a cat bed that she’s sleeping inside. She’s actually napping in my dirty laundry basket. Check. Cats love dirty laundry, and as soon as I put even a pair of socks [...]

Heaven has St. Peter guarding the gates of Eternal Rest, and the HOP has Michette guarding the chair to the feeding stations. In order for the cats to more easily get to the kitchen counter where the feeding stations are, we put one of the chairs of our dining room set next to the counter. [...]

I’m not one to make New Year’s Resolutions, but this past year has proven to me that I should make at least one for 2010 as a multi-cat owner. We, or rather our cats, have routinely been fraught with dental issues, so taking steps towards better feline oral health is extremely important. I always strive [...]

Along with the many cat toys the cats enjoyed Christmas morning, we also gave them new, comfy beds. Cat beds are a real hit any time of the year, but at Christmas we spoil them with a whole bunch. And, these gifts keep on giving as the cats constantly sleep in them and fight over [...]

The cats had a very fun Christmas morning, and we had a great time watching them play with and enjoy their new toys and beds. Besides getting each cat that needed to go into the vet clinic the past several weeks, we spoiled them with lots of goodies early this morning. This December and Christmas [...]

We snapped together and plugged in our new Christmas Tree last night. Yes, we always have to have a fake tree. Pine needles are toxic to cats, so we’re not taking any chances in this multi-cat household that’s full of naughty cats that won’t leave our stuff alone. No, my sweet babies can’t be trusted. [...]

This past Thursday I took Omar to the vet clinic for his follow up after dental surgery. Until I take my cats in for their follow ups, I worry. Something could go wrong, something might not heal well, or a myriad of other things may happen. However, all of my worrying has always been for [...]

Kitten War poses the nearly impossible challenge of choosing the cuter of two kittens in continuous head-to-head rounds. Nearly? I found myself unable to decide most of the time and instead calling it a draw. I mean, come on! How can you decide which of two kittens is cuter? And, immediately after you make a [...]

It’s very rare that Preacher will sit quietly next to any cat, at least when he’s awake. When I spotted him sitting next to Bruce the other day, I had to get a picture of the occasion. They were sitting on top of one of the carpeted cat trees, which is a spot so often [...]

This month we continue taking in various cats every weekend for shots, exams, and whatever any of them needs from our vet. We get emails from our vet’s office reminding us when a certain cat is due for something. Over the past couple of months I got several emails letting me know that 5 of [...]
