Mom said she needs a break. Too much going on. She keeps repeating “so little time and so much to do.” Whatever that means. She said she will get back to blogging soon but with the nights turning cooler and the days getting shorter, she just decided that it is better to play with us than talk about us for a few weeks. See you in September.

Noel, loves her herb window, as you know. But in the heat of the summer (the CatDaz of summer), we put up a curtain because that space, with all its windows, heats up the kitchen and also burns the plants. But, it is not too hot in there for Ms. Noel. She still wants to eat in the window and spend most of her day. Like every good animal at the zoo, she is a FOMO*. So she occasionally sticks her head out to make sure nothing is happening that she should be involved in.
*FOMO: fear of missing out.

Mini does not like that Jolie has taken over her favorite spot on the couch. I physically have to pick Jojo up and move her away or Mini gets all bent out of shape.
So I made a similar pillow mountain on the other side of the couch for Jolie. What does Mini do? Go over to that side and sit right on Jojo.
Watch this spot as this relationship evolves. (It is cracking us up)

I think we were disturbing someone’s nap.

Huh? Did you want something? I am not moving! No way! Not today. It’s CATURDAY!

Mini has the most beautiful dilute colors. She is what is known as a dilute tortie (at least that is what the rescue said when she was a kitten).
A Dilute Tortie cat is a cat with traditional tortoiseshell coat coloring that is more pastel and less vibrant. The coat pattern appears diluted with blue and yellow colors and less orange and black. Dilute Tortoiseshell cats are not a breed of their own and are a variation of a tortoiseshell cat.
Dilute torties have a specific genetic makeup that creates their unique diluted, double-color pattern. It is important to note that similar to calicos, Tortie cats, including the diluted ones, are almost always females.
This plays into creating their coat because the X chromosome carries the “instructions” for how their fur is going to look. So if a cat is a female and has two X chromosomes, it means they have received two instructions for their coat pattern, and this is where we see multiple colors being blended. – https://faqcats.com/what-is-a-dilute-tortie-cat/

If you have a group of animals of different species that live together then what group terminology do you use for them.?
A group of dogs is called a Pack, but if you add some cats, is it still a Pack? If they are wild dogs they can be a ‘Cowardice of Curs.’
A group of cats is could be a Clowder, Pounce, Clutter, or Glaring, and feral cat groups are called a Dout or a Destruction.
I have decided that DogDazCats2 Zoo this Caturday is a ‘Clowder of Curs and a Cat.’ What is in a name anyway?
