Note from the Editors: We appreciate all the support Onyx received last week about missing Blondie. However the other cats feel that she was not telling the whole story. Sgt Stripes, in particular, would like to say a few words.
Sgt Stripes: I miss Blondie, but her going away has really upset the cat-to-human ratio.All of us have a primary human and a secondary human. Like my primary human is Blondie’s brother. He’s really smart, so we can call him Joe College (shout out to Snoopy). Mom is my secondary human.
Snoops: And my primary human is Mom, and my secondary human is Joe College. It was set up before Blondie and the boys moved in.
Sgt Stripes: When they moved in, we had to share humans. Mom is the most popular because she handles food and treats. But Joe College is really good about sharing his space with us.
Gypsy: Mom and I are sort of bonded, so she’s my primary human. Joe College has the best cat TV, so he’s my secondary human.
Angel: Blondie is my primary humans. I really like sitting with Joe College, but I like Mom a lot too. I guess they are both my back-up humans.
Snoops: Which brings us to Onyx.
Sgt Stripes: Yep. Blondie is her primary human. And she is VERY territorial. She ignored everyone else. She even got a nickname, Empress of the Night, because she is such a princess. She wasn’t really friendly to any of the other humans either.
Gypsy: That’s why it was such a problem when Blondie went away. The Princess didn’t have a back-up human.
Sgt Stripes: So she stole Gypsy’s.
Snoops: And mine.
Sgt Stripes: That is true. But Mom is your downstairs human. She’s Gypsy’s upstairs human.
Gypsy: It’s been really bad. She spends all of her time on Mom’s bed. Even when Mom’s at work.She’s taken over the bedroom. Nighttime used to be our cuddle time. Now I have to work around Onyx. And she is not easy to intimidate.
Sgt Stripes: That’s true. I’m three times her size, but she just ignores me. She even insisted on having some of my treats (beef and liver) even though she only eats dairy treats.
Angel: I think I have it worse. I am Blondie’s downstairs cat, but I spend a lot of evenings with Joe College. Since Mom is taking care of the small humans, they don’t have time in the evenings to sit in the living room. The only time I get cuddles at all is if Snoops and Sgt Stripes aren’t hogging Mom and Joe College.
Snoops: They are our primary humans. We should get to spend time with them.
Angel: We need another human.
Snoops: We have enough humans. Besides, Blondie’s coming home in a few weeks.
Sgt Stripes: That’s forever in cat time. We need something now.
Angel: The small humans are pretty good at giving treats.
Gypsy: Only downstairs. We don’t get extra treats from them.
Snoops: And they are still kinda rough when they pet me.
Gypsy: They are not touching me. They are loud and run around. I’ve had to hide on the shelves in Blondie’s room.
Sgt Stripes: Isn’t that where Onyx hangs out?
Gypsy: Not while’s she hogging my spot on Mom’s bed.
Sgt Stripes: That sounds fair.
Snoops: I guess we’re stuck until Blondie gets home.
Sgt Stripes: Unless we can get Mom to quit her job.
Snoops: That’s what pays for the kibble and treats.
Sgt Stripes: Rats. Guess I need to take longer naps for a while.

Aw, what a comfy bed. Hope she gets back soon, guys. It sounds like everyone is missing her a lot! Hang in there.
Thank you for your support. Sometimes it’s hard being a cat.
Cat culture is so complicated.
It is. And humans just don’t understand. 🙂
Guys, it will be over soon! I can see that it will be. Hold on!
That’s what Mom keeps telling us.
Time passes quickly, so effurrything will be normal again soon, sweeties🙏Extra Pawkisses for you all🐾😽💞

That is an excellent idea! We need to get started
your mum izza gone too too long!!
We agree
Hi kitties 😸 from Anna and Max. I’m glad that you all got to tell your stories 😀 how is your human doing? Primary and secondary humans quite interesting 🤔 max says hang on! She will be back soon 😀 Anna bought me a bag of mice to play with. Maybe your human will bring you toys and treats 😉
Our human
(Sorry, Snoops is helping type.) Our human is getting better, but it will still be a few weeks. Glad to hear that Max is keeping you occupied. Head rubs from us all
Oh one more thing Anna has a daily prompt called cats or dogs and she has some pretty cute photos 📸 of a few kitties. Stop by if you would like too
We saw the post! And we all gave it a paws up
You are all such cuties. Maybe you can rent a human for a few weeks. 🙂 XO
Thank you! That is an excellent idea. Wonder if the Humane Society has any to spare?
I feel like Sarge needs a collar with three chevrons to denote his rank. I never really thought about cats fighting over a human, but I suppose it must happen in a house with so many felines.
I think that if you have a stable number of humans it works itself out. Our problem is the sudden loss of one of the humans. Sarge says that’s a great idea. He’ll talk to his human
Thanks for sharing the whole story. I went away for one night and my three didn’t miss me. But Blondie seems gone for a while. I do think you all need to understand Onyx position. Imagine if your Mom left and you were all being taken care of by Blondie?
Hmm. That is an interesting point. We were thinking it might be time to increase our treat allowance to make up for it
I feel bad because I have been so busy I haven’t been keeping up and missed some important blog posts
That happens to me a lot. Especially the ones on JetPack. I can only read them on my phone
