These are Noel paws from 5 years ago. Do cat paws age like people paws do?

Caturday: 3 On A Tree
Mini is in the house if you are looking for cat #3. Who knew that the Cat Village would be such a big hit? There are more adventures and head battings then I have seen in years. No one seems to go in the hammock at the bottom yet. Mini makes me a little nervous on those small, no-sided, platforms, as she has taken to chasing her tail and then falling off from one to another. Good things cats have great balance. The thing is 7 feet tall.

Caturday: Noel, Queen of the Cat Village
“This is my village, Mini, and I am Queen!”
“Go away silly Nine, I am Queen Noel!”
I cannot imagine a life without cats!
Our hearts go out to our friends in Australia who have suffered tremendous loss in the recent fires. So much devastation, so much sadness, so much loss of life. We weep for you and with you.

Caturday: Love
Mini is really good at giving you that adoring look, like you are the most important human on the planet, and there is none greater than you, so why would you pick her up and make her move off of your chair?

Caturday: Dear Noel – What Can Cats Eat at Thanksgiving
Dear Noel – I know that my humans are planning a big food celebration next week – they call it Thanksgiving. All they ever give me though is dry kibble. How do I get my human to understand that I can have some leftovers too! – Please help. I am Hungry in Hawaii
Dear Hungry – Many humans do not understand a cat’s diet. We are obligate carnivores, which means we have to have MEAT to live. But fat on the other paw can make us sick. In the wild, we would eat about 3 or 4 mice a day (yum), depending on our size. But remind them that we are little creatures and our calories per day should be limited to our size. And, we are each different, so tell your human to ask your Vet, since I am not a medicine cat and don’t know what is right for you.
You can have many wonderful COOKED lean proteins:
- 1 ounce of cooked TURKEY white meat
- Skinless chicken (MY FAVORITE)
- Liver
- Lean beef
- Lamb
- Cooked eggs
- Cooked salmon/tuna
- Canned fish
Don’t forget your veggies and grains:
- Raw Pumpkin/squash, peas, and cucumber
- Cooked carrots, broccoli, green beans
- Mashed sweet potato
- Cooked oatmeal
And your fruit:
- Bananas
- Blueberries
- Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew (no seeded)
- Peeled apples
But remind them that you can not eat the following:
- NO FAT
- Garlic
- Onions
- Coconut Milk
- Alcohol
- Coffee or caffeine
- Grapes / raisins
- Seeds
- RAW fish
- Bread dough
- Nuts
- Chocolate
- Cooked bones
- Milk
- Chives
- Candy / Gum
- Artificial sweeteners (Especially XYLITOL)
See this Basic guide
Enjoy your Thanksgiving and don’t forget to beg for more! – Noel, the Christmas Cat

Caturday: Stella’s New Thing
Stella – The Loner
Stells’s new thing lately is to sneak out of her room, whenever the door is left ajar, which it shouldn’t be and hide under my bed across the hall. (To be honest, I know that V thinks she gets lonely in her private master cat suite and leaves the door open for her to explore until, of course, there is a catfight in the hall.) I think Stella thinks it’s funny to go under the bed until another cat comes to check her out and then she freaks out and runs back into her room, hopefully with no other cats trailing behind. Fur does fly around here sometimes. Stella really likes Sofie and Louise, but not Charles, so they are the only other animals that she wants in her space. Ahh the life with a zoo.

Caturday: Tortie-tude
Is a cat’s temperament determined by color? I have been reading some interesting studies. Mini Cooper says she is never ‘naughty!’ Does your color match your temperament?
