“Preferred associates”. Cats that chose to spe

“Preferred associates”. Cats that chose to spend time together, groom each other, wrestle, sleep together are called preferred associates. These two are best friends. Adopting related cats is absolutely ideal and your best chance to ensure harmony. Have you ever analyzed your clowder? Pay close attention to who spends time together and who does not. In our house, Hitch is “Switzerland” and is a part of everyone’s social group, but the other cats have VERY distinct preferences! #Hitch #Soren #preferredassociates #besties #bros #fundamentallyfeline #caturday #atlantacatbehavior #twoarebetterthanone

Samson never used to play, it took years to get him to engage with interactive toys. Just goes to show you should never give up or stop trying. Play reduces stress, builds confidence as well as being a good source of exercise. Keep trying! #fundamentallyfeline #Samson #atlantacatbehavior #Jams #ragdollsofinstagram #ragdollrescue #dontshopadopt

Thank you @hauspanther for designing this lovely bed and atomic flyer felt toy. Here at our house we call these Hitch’s “felty friends” they are his fave! This bed is great for cats that like to curl up on a smooth surface, ya know those guys that like to sleep in the sink! #Hitch #hauspanther #fundamentallyfeline #atlantacatbehavior #tabbynation #catsmakeeverythingbetter

I do not often post this on social media. I cannot

I do not often post this on social media. I cannot recall the last time I shared that one of our pets passed away. But I have shared so much of Freyja’s final senior years with you that I felt I should let you know. The passing of Freyja is not only about the loss of her but about the end of an era, the end of her family, the end of our first entire family.If you read Hitch’s “gotcha” story that I shared last week, I mentioned that he was the bridge between all that came before him, Freyja was the last connection to that side of the bridge. She has known every single animal that I have cared for in my adult life. She was strong, survived so much and had great quality of life throughout her geriatric years. I am so grateful that at the age of 17 she finally started to let us love her. A shy cat losing their hearing can be a gift. It’s like we got to know her all over again.You have not seen the last of her or any of the others; they all live on every day. Here in our home their photos plaster the walls, they are the many beautiful faces you see on my website, social media and in my lectures. Who needs stock photos when I have over 20 years of photos of 28 cats! They are with me every time I give a talk, with every instructional “how-to” video watched on You Tube, and with every cute pic I share. They live on by teaching others how to do the very best that they can for their cats. I will continue to share all they have taught me. They have made me who I am today, they have inspired me to continue to strive to do more for animals everywhere, but they have all left me now.
So, in a final goodbye, as Jake and I close this chapter of our lives, I honor each and every one of them.Goodbye Festus, Mercury, Shadow, Lynx, Zinnia, Peaches, Asia, Simon, Freyja, Vader, Wick, Kodiak Bears, Charcoal, Lefty, Wallace, Iittalla, Sunflower, Wheels, Albert, G.G., Mr. Crusty, Fluffy, Maple, Grant, Yukon and Elsa. We love you. We will never forget you. We thank you. We are the lucky ones.R.I.P. Bloomies 5-1-1999 to 10-10-2020 (21years, 5 months, 10 days).

I have been asked by several followers, especially after sharing the photos of repairing Hitch’s foot, to share his story and how it all came to be. So, complete with old flip phone blurry photos, hammerhead shark, unneutered male cheeks, here is Hitch’s tale!Jake and I were traveling home for the holidays, a 13-hour drive. We had all three of our original dogs with us, Maple, Grant, and Yukon (their photo included to give the full scope of what was happening inside our Jeep!) We had to stop for gas (AGAIN) and let the dogs pee and have a snack. That was in Virginia, just outside of South Park, Va. to be exact! Jake pumped gas while I walked the dogs and underneath one of the cars was a vocalizing cat. He shot around the parking lot a little bit and was obviously limping. He was also actively bleeding with each step; he also clearly wanted some Pupperoni’s! Jake went inside to get a can of cat food or tuna or something and this limping little tabby cat immediately came out from under a car and started to eat. I said to Jake there is absolutely no way we can leave him here! The dogs were already back in the car and watching like they were on an episode on Animal Cops or something! I said to Jake, “grab a box from the dumpster, I think I can scruff him and scoop him up!” So, we did, folded the box flaps closed and he popped back out like a jack in the box, again, and again. Plan failed. I wrapped him up in my bomber jacket, walked up to the gas station and asked if I could sit with him in the ladies room while my husband went in search of a store where we could buy a cat carrier. The said no! They said he had been hanging around there for months, and I replied, “and no one is helping him (along with expletives)?!?!” I was so pissed. I have a bleeding cat wrapped in my jacket with 250 pounds of loose dogs in my car, but there was absolutely no way we could leave him there!
