Snoops: I called this council meeting to discuss how the integration of our household is progressing.
Sgt Stripes: I haven’t seen any fights or fur flying.
Gypsy: There’s still some growling and hissing.
Angel: That’s just you.
Gypsy: It is not. Besides, I need to keep you away from my food. You did try to starve me last year.
Angel: It’s not my fault we didn’t get enough food when we were staying in the sunroom.
Gypsy: You are almost everything we got.
Snoops: Ladies, that’s old news. You need to move on.
Gypsy: What’s your excuse with Sgt Stripes? You growl at him every time he walks by.
Snoops: We have a history. He tried to eat Kommando Kitty when he moved in.
Sgt Stripes: I didn’t try to eat her. I was just trying to play.
Angel: Snoops has a right to keep him at paw’s length.
Sgt Stripes: It’s gotten better. Snoops hasn’t growled at me in two days.
Snoops: You seem to be slightly less annoying.
Sgt Stripes: We all eat breakfast together now.
Angel: Except Onyx. She thinks she’s too good for us.
Onyx: I don’t dislike you. I just don’t see any point in coming downstairs. I have everything I want upstairs.
Sgt Stripes: She does come down for treats sometimes.
Angel: Not since she started getting extra treats upstairs from the blonde kid.
Snoops: We really don’t see much of her.
Onyx: Well, I am pretty busy with my new position. I am the upstairs reading coordinator for the bedtime books for the small humans.
Gypsy: I thought you were an emotional support cat.
Onyx: I am. But since you and Sgt Stripes decided to stay downstairs, there really isn’t another cat to supervise.
Snoops: And we all know the humans need supervision. Especially the little ones.
Gypsy: That reminds me, we need to talk to Thomas Tabby. He’s supposed to be the liaison with the humans. We got that automatic litter box for Christmas and it still isn’t plugged in.
Sgt Stripes: They said something about a cat urinating in the electrical outlet that it was supposed to be plugged into. They want to put it in the utility room where one of the old litter boxes is.
Angel: I don’t want an electric litter box. That sounds scary. What if it eats one of us?
Sgt Stripes: They said it had been tested and is safe. I can’t believe that was our big Christmas present.
Angel: The toys were pretty cool.
Gypsy: I found out that Mom didn’t finish Prince Arthur’s blanket in time for Christmas. So I claimed it.
Snoops: Who’s Prince Arthur?
Sgt Stripes: You know. He lives with that woman who comes here to see our human brother.
Snoops: That’s right. I have enough trouble keeping the cats here straight. I forgot there was another cat involved with things. At least he doesn’t live here.
Angel: We do seem to be at cat capacity. At least I have a good sleeping spot next to the heater.
Sgt Stripes: And we do have a lot of places to snuggle up in.
Snoops: So everyone is pretty content? Meeting adjourned.
Adventures in Cheeseland 
Is that ice cream?! Lucky kitties. Sounds like Onyx is the smart one, claiming an entire floor as her territory in exchange for light reading supervision duties.
It was ice cream, and it was not hers. Onyx appreciates your support of her decision. Interestingly enough, the other cats ignore her when she occasionally comes downstairs. It’s like they know she won’t be staying long.
She must have gotten epic brain freeze. Cat motto for sticking their little faces in cups, glasses and bowls: “If I fits, I sniffs and licks!”
Actually, once she had put her nose in it, she decided that she doesn’t like ice cream. (Not that it will stop her from doing the same thing some other time. 🙂 )
Made me smile… I know this council subject, I am not far, we live something like that… Sometimes it’s being difficult to get the peace between them… Thank you, Love, nia
Exactly. Sometimes it is very peaceful, and sometimes they each want to be the only cat in the room. Have a wonderful weekend.
Yes, dear, we have a problem about this, İbiş the elder one is in stress because of this. But we are as his human parents become a cat psychologist, we pay more attention to him and give him special dermatological food. His situation seems to be better, but now the others are causing problems and they are incredibly jealous… My husband and I are confused about what to do. They compete to take each other’s place, sometimes they all want to sleep on our laps, but they also push each other away… This is a very new situation, they were not like this before. Thank you, Love, nia
Unfortunately, some things have to work themselves out. And cats can be surprisingly jealous.
I have a few ideas…if you like, invite me over sometime soon and we can talk about them.

We would love to interview you for Cheeseland. A few questions and lots of pictures. (Mom is so excited. She finally figured out how to leave comments on your blog. 🙂 )
Fanky yoo! 🙂
guyz…yur meeting wented well N it soundz like peace ☮️ for de most part iz in order at yur houz…tho bout that litter box for christmas 🙀🙀🙀‼️heerz two a grate week oh end two all 💙💚🐟😺
We are pretty much tolerating each other. It’s been a long road. Have a great week!
You have a good system. No matter where a human is, there’s always a snoopervisor available.
Purr-cisely. And they’re really warm in the cold weather
An automatic litter box is more of a gift for the humans. I think they need to get you all a cat tree and lots of treats. XO
We like how you think. Thank you!
Does Onyx not even eat with the others? She keeps herself completely to herself?
She doesn’t like wet food. And will only eat dairy treats. She really is a loner. She’s bonded with my daughter, and it appears she’s happy with that. She will allow Sgt Stripes onto the bed she and her human share, but that’s about it
I’m glad everyone is happy and content!!
Our humans are pleased. Now we have to find other ways to keep them on their toes
True! Get to work on that.
Glad you seem to have sorted things out I think I’d be scared of an electric toilet too🙀you never know. Great to see you eating together. It’s just mom,me & my human brother so I don’t have to stress about other cats except for the ginger pest who magically manages to come through my microchipped cat flap.😽😸🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛🐾🐾💗
I’ve heard of that issue with the cat flaps from other people. It must be very disconcerting to have someone walk in uninvited
Mee-yow what a gud meetin’! No fur flyin or fightin!! 444 pawss up! Onyx you are due-inn dubbel duty uppystairss. Mee admiress that ALOT!

Thank you for your support! We are getting used to each other. You are correct. Prince Arthur is extended family. He is doing well.
Rite on!! Youss’ got this!!!
We would avoid those kind of litterboxes, kitties, maybe they were tested and recommended by their own company😹What a great meeting you had, kitties😸Double Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend to all of you🐾😽💞
Thanks for the heads up. Happy weekend!
