Greetings feline friends and others.It’s been awhile since we updated our continuing struggle to peacefully coexist. We had over a week of total peace and calm (no hissing, growling or swatting). Then Mom ruined everything by commenting on it. The past two days have been kinda rough.
Snoops: Sgt Stripes and I are living in harmony, more or less. But sometimes, he just seems so annoying that I have to growl at him.
Angel: I totally agree. There’s something. We just can’t put our paws on what the real problem is.
Sgt Stripes: The problem is that you ladies are hyper-sensitive. I don’t do anything, but I get growled at and have to avoid the whappy paw.
Snoops: You’re not totally innocent. You still try to chase us once in a while.
Sgt Stripes: A little exercise wouldn’t hurt you.
Snoops: Excuse me? A little exercise? You treat us like prey.
Sgt Stripes: It really gets your heart pumping. It’s good for you.
Snoops: I will exercise when and how I choose.
Gypsy: I get to watch all the action. I pretty much get along with everyone.
Snoops: I like you well enough, but you have really weird sleeping habits.
Gypsy: What do you mean?
Snoops: You find a spot, and it’s like you’re glued to it. You only move to eat and use the litter box.
Gypsy: So what? You have favorite spots.
Snoops: Yeah. But my favorite spots are always my favorite spots. You choose a place, won’t move for a few weeks, then find a new favorite spot that you won’t leave. And you never go back to the previous favorite spots.
Gypsy: I keep looking for the perfect spot.
Angel: A perfect spot doesn’t exist. The small humans have free run of the house.
Sgt Stripes: I like the small blonde one. He gives out excellent treats.
Snoops: And lots of them.
Gypsy: But they are really loud.
Angel: I wonder if they have a volume control. Like the television.
Gypsy: That would be excellent.
Snoops: Did you notice Blondie has invaded our space on the first floor?
Angel: I did. She’s taken over the good spot on the sofa.
Snoops: Yeah. She can’t walk for a couple of weeks.
Sgt Stripes: Does she have a bad paw?
Snoops: She’s a human. She doesn’t have paws. But if she did, it would be one of the back paws. She had something similar 10 years ago. Can you believe how cute I still look on her scooter?
Angel: That is pretty cool.
Gypsy: Where’s her cat?
Onyx: You mean me? I’m still hanging out upstairs. I’m the Empress of the Night.
Gypsy: Shouldn’t you be with your human?
Onyx: I stayed with her all last summer when she was depressed. I’m sitting this one out. She’ll be back upstairs in a couple of weeks. She has plenty of cats downstairs.
Gypsy: That seems kinda harsh.
Onyx: Snoops told me about the importance of having a back-up human in case something happens to your primary human. And I found a great wool blanket in Mom’a room. I’m going to hang out here until Blondie comes back up.
Sgt Stripes: Sounds like the rest of us will have to take turns watching Blondie.
Angel: Yeah. She has to get better so we get the living room back.

Maybe we need to start peace talks. Our cats have temporary favorite spots, too.
It was pretty disappointing when they started hissing again
so lovely, so beautiful, Thank you so much, Love, nia
Thank you1
A cat conversation is always fun to follow… 😸
Things are different from a feline perspective. 🙂

Ooh. Lots of cats. we like it!
Yep, sounds like my cats. Their priority is a good spot to nap and food. Their humans come in second.
They probably think our priorities are all messed up. (And to a certain extent they are)
It’s always wise to have a backup human!! Glad to hear you at least had a week of peace!
It’s a definite improvement
I will not have this slander against Sgt. Stripes and Gypsy! The Empress of the Night is very cute too.
But really, the good Sergeant is just trying to keep everyone on a good PT schedule, and instead of thanking him, they act like he’s terrible for getting them moving. Buddy is on your team, Sarge!
Sgt Stripes appreciates the support. It’s hard being the only guy
I didn’t realize he was the only male cat. Are there any real differences, behavior-wise?
Buddy is my first-ever pet, since I was not allowed to have pets as a kid and I wouldn’t have been a good caretaker in my 20s. Originally I thought I’d adopt a female cat and name her Arya Stark, after my favorite ASOIAF/Game of Thrones character, but then a gray tabby boy became available and the rest is history…
But quite a few sites claim that fixed male cats are more affectionate than females, while claiming female cats are more loyal but reserved. I’ve wondered whether there’s truth to that.
He is the most laid-back cat I’ve ever had. And he is very gentle. (Except when he plays pounce.) We live in an old farmhouse, so we get mice when the weather changes. Snoops is a true hunter. He thinks they’re cool toys.And he is very affectionate.
Well guys…sometimes we have to share our seat, especially when it comes to the blonds…you know what they say ‘blonds have more fun…’ 🙊but we suppose not at this moment. Here come some Healing Pawkisses to feel better soon, especially for your Blondie🙏🐾😽💞
