The cats have really taken to sleeping on Louise’s old dog bed. They have gotten to the point, that if she is laying it, which she still does sometimes, they try to stare her down until she moves to her new bed. You never know who you will find there, these days.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Sofie and I were in visiting Stella and I was able to catch a few shots. Usually, she is moving around and really hard to photograph. Such a pretty baby, my Cali-torte. It amazes me how happy she is with her solitary life. She does like the occasional visit from Sofie or Louise. She doesn’t like Charles at all, and of course, hates all the other cats. She also is not a cat you see smile much but she does purr. I love you, Stella the Serious.

I don’t like that Mom had to go back to work this week! She is not paying any attention to me, so I am going to sit right in the middle of everything she is doing and be a pest. I am good at being a pest. What do you mean you don’t want me hitting your screens with my paws/claws? I think I will go over to the printer and start chewing on the ends of her papers. That always adds a nice touch to her notes.

Nine has been a real bully lately. Maybe he didn’t like what SantaPaws brought him for Christmas. He just does not want to share the tree and is really terrorizing everyone. He keeps trapping poor Noel in the corner when she is using the litter pan which I think is really unfair; is there nowhere safe, Nine? He has absolutely no respect for his elders (she is 13 and he is 9). Noel has a big scatch on her nose today 😦
Mini Cooper is just not OK with this behavior and tends to give it back to him but he wins most of the time. I wish this wouldn’t go on at 4 am when I am trying to sleep.

Noel stalks me in bed at night. She is really starting to freak me out. There is nowhere to hide from her. I wake up and she is right up in my face or on the nightstand staring at me. If I pet her, she bites me. I am starting to get nervous.

When Mommy turns her back to feed the dogs, I am very quick to help myself to the dog food. Aren’t I good at it. I don’t think Mom liked the idea that I am self-sufficient.

Remember, cats can have dog food, but dogs should not have cat food. It contains too much fat, calories, and protein that can really upset their tummies and even cause pancreatitis.

Winter has come, so the plants needed to come in from outside. Nine thinks that is just great. New plaything: Let’s dig! Let’s scratch! If you look halfway up the trunk of the fig tree (ficus benjamina), you will see gnarls from cats-past who also found the fig tree a great scratching post during the winter. BTW, this fig tree is at least 25 years old.
