I’ve been finding Omar at the feeding stations more often, and he hasn’t been eating as much of the canned food during the week. Yes, I’m still giving him a bit of the canned cat food every day, so it’s been very slow getting him back to eating exclusively dry cat food. But, it’s progress. [...]

Today’s Pictures of Cats is short. I shot the cats at different angels than I usually do, and got some interesting pictures. I especially like close-ups of cat’s faces; the detail of their eyes and noses is so cute. They’re just so beautiful, and I try and get as close as they’ll allow me for [...]

Since Tiny Pea has been taking the medicine, Dasuquin, for a possible Interstitial Cystitis condition, she’s been feeling great. How can I tell? She’s more social. She isn’t hiding up on her kitchen cabinet shelf, spending time by herself. Second, I’ve noticed that she isn’t quite as nasty towards the other cats. Of course, she [...]

How can such a hugely naughty and mischievous cat come wrapped in such an adorable little cat? I’m not sure how Mother Nature works that out, but it’s certainly happened in Preacher’s case. It’s very easy getting lulled into a false sense of adoration for this miniature hellion with his sleek gorgeousness and unique gray-green [...]

The past couple of days have been beautiful, so Mom and I took advantage of the great weather, cleaning and sprucing up the outdoor enclosure for the cats. This is a must every now and then due to Bruce’s enthusiastic marking. And, of course, like the Pied Piper leading the way, a couple of the [...]

It’s difficult to tell exactly when a cat’s position within a social hierarchy changes because it’s almost imperceptive until the change is established. Each time it happens in the HOP I’m not aware of it until a certain cat’s relationship within the clowder has changed. I think that Toby has lost his grip on his [...]

Cats love cardboard boxes, so we try and have a couple for them to play in all the time. Thankfully we’re able to provide the boxes quite often because Mom works in a warehouse, and she’s got access to boxes whenever she wants. A few times a week she’ll bring home products we need and [...]

Our vet clinic called with the results of Tiny Pea’s urinalysis results; she doesn’t have a urinary tract infection. I’m both happy and surprised. Therefore, she could have a couple other medical conditions that account for the blood in her urine: kidney stones or a condition known as Interstitial Cystitis where the lining of the [...]

We finally got some sunshine! It was wonderful. With nearly two weeks of rain and consistently cloudy days behind us, Mom and I are breathing a bit easier. This past weekend we got a much needed break from the dismal attitudes of the cats and enjoyed some beautiful sunshine. Therefore, the lighting in the house [...]

1.    The influence of a cat is as quiet and imperceptible on the human heart as the falling of snowflakes on the meadows. 2.    Judicious flattery is almost one of the necessities of existence with cats. 3.    To withhold praise where it is due is dishonest, and in the case of a cat, dangerous. 4.    [...]
