They clipped my claws! I hate having my claws clipped. I am mad! I am going to hide behind the fish tank. They won’t see me. I am never coming out again (or at least until dinner). – Noel, the Christmas Cat
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Noel does not like that Charles is so close to her pillow throne.
(Roll over the pictures to see the conversation.)
I think I will lay up here by Noel’s pillow so she can’t get to Mom.
Noel is smart, she took Mom’s pillow.
I better move or she will kill me.
Oh boy, she is giving me the evil eye.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

Noel’s favorite toys are these little yellow chicks. They live in the herb window (where she spends most of her time). After breakfast, which she of course eats in the herb window, I usually go into my office down the hall from the kitchen, to start my day. In about 10 or 15 minutes I will hear her calling me, insistently – “Come now, you must see this, come come come.” She usually carries one of the chicks, as if it was a mouse prize, from the herb window to somewhere else on the kitchen counter or the kitchen table. She wants me to come and see her prize. Seriously, this goes on almost every morning. Then I pick up her chick, pat her on the head, tell her what a wonderful mouser she is, and throw it back in the herb window.
I want to come back as Noel.

At 14 years young, Noel is doing fantastic as the Queen of the Zoo. She mostly naps, as always, but has really found her rhythm between Mom’s bed and the herb window, and occasionally a chair, couch, or dog bed.
It is hard to believe from this very sickly kitten with Feline herpes, who had to be held and medicated and hand-fed for months, she has turned into this silly, happy, matriarch of the DogDaz_Cats2 Zoo.
Happy 14th Noel. We love you!

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.

Being a 13-year-old cat has its perks!
No one expects you to play anymore, so they are really amused when you get the zoomies and go flying around the house.
No one expects you to gain much weight at this age, so they let you eat a little more food than they used to.
No one expects you to be awake the cat-usual 6 hours a day anymore, so now I sleep more like 20hrs.
Being a senior cat definitely has its advantages, but I can’t remember what they are…
How old are you?

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.
Happy Birthday, Queen Noel!
