For some reason, Mommy would not let us play with our new friend that came slithering into the yard to help us plant the tomatoes. We are not sure why, but Mom made us all go inside until the Pantherophis obsoletus passed through. I think she said it had something to do with some woman named, Nagini. Have you ever met her? Mom said she might eat Charles. I said, “then maybe he should stay outside.” Mom put me in time out. What did I do? – Sofie Bear

Mini Cooper thinks she is a dog. She has always hung with the dogs and wants to be wherever they are. This collage, from 2014 just makes me smile. There is kitten Mini laying on the couch in the middle of Louise and Sofie.
Actually, all our cats love Louise; she is just that kind of soul.
Sofie is a different matter, as she has gotten older, and more anxious, she chases them away from her toys. They have learned that staying away from her is the best idea.
Nine making nice to Louise
Most cats can do fine with dogs if introduced the right way. You need to go slow and first make sure that neither animal is aggressive or frightened of the other. Then, if you keep giving them some time together several times a day, things usually work out.
I do want to point out that here at the Zoo we have several cat-only spaces and always try to provide ways for them to get away from the dogs quickly, even after all these years as a multi-animal household. You never know when someone will get stupid.
Are your pets pals?

It is not easy to go up and down the stairs when there are all these furbabies blocking the way. I have to be really careful, because of my back, and trying to step around these goofballs is dangerous. But, how can you not love these faces as you ascend?

After a walk, it is nice to come home to cats waiting for you at the front door. It is so welcoming. Especially, if it was raining on you. Louise hates the rain, but she loves a walk. Sometimes it is a hard choice. But, it always nice to come home to your friends.

We just love our Mommy so much. Who else would put up with all our whining and antics? She has the best lap in the Mom business, especially when there is a blanket on it. And, she gives us the best treats.
Happy Mommy’s Day to all the caretakers out there. You deserve more than just one day!

These two are good together when they have a joint mission; like sitting at the top of any stairs and watching for intruders. Charles has begone to bark more than Sofie (if you can believe that?) to keep aliens from attacking the homefront. That includes every package, food delivery driver, or occasional friend of the family.
Sofie: Do you see anything there yet, Chuck?
Charles: Hey, Sof, we need to protect Mom from the aliens!! You with me?

Charles here: I do not understand why these humans want to just sit and watch the idiot box all evening and not give me tons of treats and play with me all night. I bark and give them hints, but they just don’t get it. I am bored. Entertain me, people!

Charles here. Nine and I shared a moment at the back door screen so we could watch the birds. At least he did not try to kill me like Noel would. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Noel does not like that Charles is so close to her pillow throne.
