Gracie may be the new kid in the house but she can hold her own with the larger, tenured cats. Here she is clearly pushing Hazel out-of-the-way to get a good look at a chipmunk that was mocking them both.
Gracie: “Dude, you need to lose some weight! You are IN-DA-WAY”
Meanwhile in the porch, Morgan got some unsolicited help watching a bird.
Morgan (on left): “Little grasshopper, that’s a birdie. When you catch them, you snap their neck. Then carry them to the nearest human. They like to see your triumphs!”
Meanwhile Hazel needed to rest up from the chipmunk watching excursion.
Hazel: “Get away! I’m napping. What do you mean I can’t nap here? Of course I can. This is the good lace and technically I’m mostly not on the table. Also, don’t make me look large.”
Mollie, the retired cat, just came home from her poker game. She’s quite the card shark! Here she is on the new flooring. Next week she’s off to the casino.
Mollie: “I was amazing! Won a couple mousies and a treat. We had ‘nip-mosas for lunch.”

I laugh so hard at your synchronized cats! They are so beautiful and also amusing! I can see why they rule the roost! 🙂

They do it a lot. There has to be something to attract the attention of both cats but there are always chipmunks!

Your cats totally crack me up. And each of them is incredibly photogenic. They should charge modeling fees!

Don’t give them ideas. They see the camera coming and they take off…unless they are eating or sleeping. It’s almost as bad as getting the cat carrier out.

I guess as long as Hazel can get all the way up on the table she’s not technically overweight. Mollie is gorgeous… retirement must suit her.

Hazel jumps on the chair, then to the table and yes, she is overweight. Retirement suits almost everyone!

Gracie trying to shove Hazel is my favorite. Followed by Hazel on the table.
We had a human guest for dinner this week, and I left the placemat on the table. Last night, Bossy lounged on it during dinner, looking for all the world like an ancient Roman on her eating couch.

I think Hazel gets on that table because she knows the wood color flatter her fur, making her appear like the goddess that she is.

You’re right about that. Add in the late afternoon sun and she’s very photographic even if it’s tough to get all of her in the picture.

Hazel made me laugh out loud – ” technically I’m mostly not on the table”. I get that same look from Theo 😀

For some reason she has always loved sprawling out on the table. She doesn’t do it on our kitchen table where we eat or any of the counters. Just that one.

Theo does it with the dining room table too – but that’s because the dining room doubles as my *office*. He does it to get my attention 🙂

Gracie cracks me up… I love when she speaks! Laughing here. CH and I now regularly use “you are IN-DA-WAY” especially when we are in the kitchen circling the shoe trolley cart transformed into an island. Hazel, honey, don’t take nothing off that “little grasshopper”… Kate you need to write a book about your Sassy Cats! Mollie is a striking cat… love her white feeties. I so look forward to your pictures on Friday!

Thanks! I appreciate that! I am glad we were able to increase your vocabulary even if it’s not in a refined high-falluting way! Mollie could have been named socks but she’s a very “girly” cat and needed a girly name. Hazel threatens to roll on Gracie. That keeps her in line. She’d squash that little one.

I have no idea why Hazel is not losing weight. I have her on “diet” food and lately she hasn’t been stealing as much as she used to. The scales don’t move! She loves to lie on hard surfaces like the dining room table and the TV cabinet (no, not the floor, never on the floor!)

I hope it’s just a function of metabolism and nothing else. But I feel her/your anxiety about the scales not moving!

She doesn’t have any symptoms and her annual vet apt is in two months. I’ll talk to the vet. She had already put on weight last year and the vet wasn’t worried. I worry more because I’ve had two diabetic cats. I don’t want to medicate another one and Hazel would not be an easy one to medicate.
