It’s been a quiet week cat-wise except for a food boycott. After months of coaxing Gracie to eat normal cat food, all was good. Then she started boycotting what was formerly her favorites. Ack! I have no idea what she wants to eat but at this point I know that she will figure something out when she gets hungry. The big challenge is to not have cat food within easy reach of our tubster Hazel whose diet is currently in shambles. Here are some pics.
All the cats here wish you a wonderful weekend.
I am so jealous – not only a cat door to the basement facilities, but a basement to put the boxes in.
Much better than under my sink..nothing like small rocks under clean feet…
Great cat portraits

Gravel trails! Those little ball bearing can get you. I’m very lucky to have the litter boxes out of the way. One is in the 2nd floor cat room and the rest are in the basement.

Our last house had a huge space where we once had a freezer near the back door/cat door. Cats were very well behaved and used one or the other. But we lost an entire story when we downsized – not a happy face

I find it interesting that Mollie stays upstairs! If she has everything she needs upstairs and is so comfortable then I don’t know why she needs more. But I think I’ve always pictured them in mischief all over the house. I hope they behave themselves this week…no drama! 🙂

Mollie is 13. I think she has some allergies because she scratches a lot. Originally she stayed upstairs because Morgan was pesty but now none of the cats bother her but she still prefers the upstairs.

The photo of Hazel gave me a chuckle! Mollie is gorgeous, and I don’t blame her for wanting some solitude. As for Gracie & Morgan, they look like twins.

If you saw them in person they do not look like twins. Gracie is 7 lbs and Morgan is 12. Morgan looks like a Russian blue with a flatter face and Gracie looks more Burmese with a longer nose. Both are very outgoing cats. The older two don’t always let us pet them (and guests rarely see them) but the grays are always around and friendly to everyone.

We lost our Grenny this week. She was eighteen. Our house is cat free for the first time in thirty-nine years. The stray cat, Skitty was making a habit of coming in, but my mom had a stroke and is in rehab. If Skitty can’t have Mom, she doesn’t want in. The house is so quiet. It’s weird. I don’t think I like it. There is nothing like a sappy movie, a soft chair, and a clingy cat the help you through a boring evening.

I am so sorry! I haven’t had a cat free house since 1980. I don’t think it would work for me. With multiples, the other cats grieve with you. Without them, you are on your own. *hugs* from all here.

Such cuties. I wonder why Gracie is being picky again? I always have Gerber baby food ) the ham one, but there are other meat ones) on hand for when someone doesn’t want to eat. Most will eat that unless they are very sick.

I didn’t have luck with baby food with her. She’s back to eating again today. The same stuff she rejected yesterday. Maybe she wasn’t feeling chipper although you couldn’t tell that in any other way.

Love the cat pics and stories. Some older cats prefer peace and quiet while some love nothing more than to be chasing younger cats to put them in their place–LOL! 😉 I’m more like Mollie.

Can Hazel make it through that cat door?! She’s a beautiful cat, but her plumpness makes me wonder! 😉

Yes although if she’s running there is a lot of clunking as she bumps the sides. (Running….the concept of her running makes me laugh…it’s a quick walk really.)My old cat Jake was a very tall cat so I got small dog doors rather than cat doors.

Cats are good at judging where they will fit (maybe except for boxes 🙂 ). There is another litter box on the second floor that she could use too but the basement is cooler.

Hazel is contemplating a visit to the acres of litter boxes I suppose or snooping on another cat thinking they have some privacy. Love the Gracie and Morgan picture. I would be like Mollie… enjoying solitude and quiet. I need my space… 🙂

Occasionally I bring Mollie down when the weather is perfect on the porch. She’ll stay about a half hour and then go back up. She’s gotten more anti-social in her old age, still sweet but prefers solitude. I open the upstairs windows for her weather permitting.
