This was last year, but it is so cold today that we are all getting ready.
Noel has started sleeping on the heat register on the kitchen floor. That is a new place for her. Funny how it took her 7 years to discover it. She sure is glad she found it now. It is so cold and drafty in this house, you would think we live in a barn.
Meow Out Loud!
I can not imagine a life without cats!

Mini Cooper – November 2014 – Ruling the Roost
When you are a kitten, especially at DogDazCats2 Zoo, you are the center of the world. Mini Cooper clearly owns the house and our hearts, This is, however, a little bit to the dismay of Noel and Stella. Nine, on the other hand, really is having fun playing with her (at last someone as crazy as him). I think Stella, who was the baby until now and is very shy, does not appreciate the intrusion of this little thing. You see, Stella is the one that is the most displaced in the house by the new arrival. Mini Cooper has taken over the kitten room, and Stella, though 3 years old, still liked to have her meals in there until now (“I want to eat alone,” she’d say).
So to try and keep peace at the Zoo, I made an agreement with Stella for her to take her meals in the bathtub in the downstairs bathroom. This is a special place, because now that it is cold outside, all the big outdoor plants are wintering over in the big bathtub: it is her personal little jungle. Sometimes Stella still runs down the hall at dinner time to the kitten room but then she realizes that is Mini’s space now and she proceeds to go downstairs to the bathroom jungle. My Baby Stella is growing up!
Stella, Queen of the Jungle

This is an early morning shot of the Mini train with the Sofie caboose.
I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

Unlike Sofie, who loves to cuddle with Nine, Louise could not care less. Actually, she would prefer to only cuddle with Mommy. But Nine will not have it. He wants to play with her and that is that. Can’t you just hear him saying “Come on Louise, just snuggle a little bit, everyone else does.” And Louise’s reply, “Go away kid and bother someone else.”
I can not imagine a life without cats.
Happy Caturday.

Mini and Sofie are aways getting into something these days.
I am not sure Nine likes them in his window. He was hiding behind the curtain until they went away.

Mini Cooper has moved into Noel’s bed under the window on my desk. Noel doesn’t know it yet.

All the humans are wild over little Mini Cooper. Peanut had to rush home from college this weekend, not because she missed her Mommy, but because we had a new kitty at the Zoo. What am I, Chopped Liver? Still working on Mini meeting the rest of the Zoo. Sofie really likes her, Louise couldn’t care less. Dogs are easy. It is the 3 older cats that still have to get through the broader introduction to their new family member – this weekend hopefully. Baby Stella was not amused when she met her the other day by accident, hissing and arching. I guess Baby Stella will now be Big Sister Stella. Slow introductions. Sniff sniff sniff.

A moment from 2012. Here at the Zoo, dogs must stay on the floor. We made this rule so that cats have an escape route. I know, however, that Sofie is up on the bed the minute we close the front door (because no cat would leave a warm spot that big). Someday I think I will set up one of those Nanny cameras to really see what happens when we are gone. This is just a ‘normal’ Saturday morning at the zoo.
Hahahaha
I can not imagine a life without cats.
Happy Caturday.

I can’t remember if I ever showed you our cat fence. V and the kids were down in South Carolina (they go every year without me while I work) and there was this really cool metal (and mostly junk) place with some rusted fencing that was 4 cats per panel. V, being V, came home with only 2 panels. I love them. Several years later I went down with the family (there is something to be said for not working sometimes) and found the rest of the panels. The place was going out of business so I made us buy all of them. We strapped them to the top of the car and drove hundreds of miles north with cats on the roof. (And of course there were torrential rains, thunder and lightning on the way home.) Now V is fixing the rust and painting them yellow. They don’t keep anyone out of the pool but they look real cool around the garden. Our next job is to figure out how to keep them in the ground since their feet are just shaped like an upside down ‘Y’s at each end.
I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

We are celebrating Noel’s 1/2 birthday, she is 7 1/2 years old. Happy Half, Baby!
The picture in the top right is the first day we rescued her. She was so sick with feline herpes that she could almost not open her eyes. We almost lost her. You have come a long way Baby, and we are so glad you did!
