Somedays that bright sunshine comes through the big window and it makes me feel so warm and cozy.Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤ 
Noel is a funny cat. She wants Mommy’s chair. But lately, Mini Cooper has been owning the chair. So Noel, in all her infinite cat wisdom, has decided to sit on, lie on, and generally squeeze Mini Cooper out. But Mini, being Mini, isn’t moving. I would say it is a Love/Hate relationship, but maybe it is just mutual disdain if their faces tell the story,
Wishing everyone who celebrates a happy holiday. May this evil virus PASSOVER your house and may your spirits RISE as you find celebration in the small things of daily life.

There are lessons to be learned from my 100% indoor cats. They never complain that they are self-isolating or quarantined. They are indoor cats because as their caretaker, their governor, I decided that the road outside the front door could kill them, the raccoons and foxes could eat them, and I did not want to take the risk of losing them. Protecting them is my job. They don’t complain. They don’t try to run away. They have adapted to their world as indoor cats. They exercise, they cuddle, they eat, and they safely socialize. Be like my cats! Stay indoors, and stay safe.Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤
Noel, the Christmas-cat, will be 13 years young on Tuesday. If you search ‘Noel’ on the sidebar, you will probably find more posts at the DogDaz Zoo on her then any of the other animals. Maybe because she is the oldest of the current pack, or maybe because she is so photogenic. I can’t believe that this little white terribly ill rescued kitten grew into this amazing white rabbit-fur purr machine. Noel has the Feline Herpes (FVR) virus, which almost left her blind. I had to carry her for a month close to my chest to keep her breathing and now look at her: Queen of the Zoo.Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

What I wouldn’t give to sleep like a cat, in a pure state of grace. Noel loves to sleep on any blanket or pile of soft stuff that she can find. I, on the other hand, could be in the most comfortable bed in the world and would not find the uninhibited peace of deep slumber. Oh, to be a cat at the DogDaz Zoo.Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤
I find it so calming to watch animals sleep. They seem to sleep with such abandon. The animals always seem to be sleeping in weird and different places in the house. I think I was drying a rug on top of the washing machine and he decided it was comfy.
‘Golden Slumbers’ is a lullaby from Thomas Dekker’s 1603 play Patient Grissel, written with Henry Chettle and William Haughton. You may recognize it because The Beatles used it in their song of the same name on their Abbey Road album.

A rare moment with Noel, Nine, and Mini Cooper all looking out the door probably at a squirrel or bird on the deck.It is not often that these 3 do anything together, and definitely not cooperatively. According to my research, there may exist a very loose dominance hierarchy amongst a group of cats, but they do not form an interdependent hierarchy as dogs do. That means that they do not have a pack mentality, though they can gang together for survival, usually around food (hence feral cat colonies in the wild). The other interesting thing I learned today is that cats have relatively limited ability for complex visual signally, which we see in other animals that form social groups, because cats largely developed as solitary hunters, without the need for complex social interaction between each other. Not having this signally ability can lead to more fighting (basically they don’t understand what the other wants). It is all starting to make sense to me now…..

A look back at 2017. Nothing much has changed over the last 3 years. Well, maybe they are all a little fatter and more demanding. But then again, so am I.Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤
