Ladies Man Wah-Wah

Walter has special bond with girls.

He doesn't like males .

Paz, he's such a big bully decides to hit everyone if he feels like it. Best to avoid.

Mieszk, he thinks he's so fluffy, but he's not as cute as ME and he's incessantly trying to play with me.., how annoying !

Other outside cats who come in the garden and spray.. ("I MUST protect my property.., by making loud noises and running away...")

Walter and Hime.
They play fight , he plays soft with her, then she ends up licking him. Because Walter is Hime's baby brother. Awwwwww.

Walter and Zum. Walter will come to her when Zumzum is sad. Walter knows he's really Zum's big brother. Zumzum is the only person he ever shows concern for, so that's really saying something!

Complex Relationships

Come up when you're finding place to sleep...
Walter and Hime love eachother.

Cookie will come sit with Mieszky and Hime if Hime is at safe (non-swiping) distance.

Very rare, Hime came to sit when Cookie is sleeping on me. Cookie not super happy about it but Hime is behaving under supervision.

But you know Cookie is the most comfortable with her favorite brother, Mieszky!

Dudu to the rescue

Zum was crying and sure enough
Walter gets up from his special spot of zum's changing table
And comes over.

"I will come sit with you if you are sad, you're the only one in the world I will do this for."

Then he settles down and starts kneading on the pillow and goes to sleep.
Unique individual, Walter.

Looks like someone needs...

Some Huggies!

These are the times when you think,

Five cats aren't that many at all, is it?
I mean , they take up so little space !
And they're self-sufficient (mostly , minus the cleaning up occasional throw up and litter box ) !
Find all five in the picture!

Disco Nap for New Year's Eve

Zumzum had exciting couple of days. She's so excited at night she tells me about her day when it's bedtime ...
Tonight she's preparing for New Years by napping at 5pm... Oh well.
Mieszky has his mega Gandalf coat he's going out in our yard.
Hime Onechan watches over Zumzum.

The Runt and The Bully

Mieszky was the runt of the litter.  He's small for a Norwegian Forest cat, and his sister even chewed his tail when they were kittens. But he seemed to suddenly bulk up to normal-ish size, he put on a kilo in a year last year! Maybe he's coming into his prime and boyhood?

Paz, on the other hand, has always been kind of big (fat) . As a handsome lean kitten, he had big lion-like paws, and around 1-2 years old he ballooned!



When you are a bully like Paz, it's hard to find a friend. The biggest criteria to being Paz 's friend is being laid back.
Paz used to hate Mieszky the first year Mieszky came. He used to go out of his way to hit him or hiss at him if he got close. But after 5(? )Years of Mieszky being part of our family, Mieszky is the Pazzy's best (only) friend.

Mieszky, it turns out, is laid back and brave. He doesn't care if Paz hits him , Mieszky thinks it's playing.

So what if he decides to hit you when you get close? You enjoy it as playful banter. If he pushes you out of the way when you are eating, you just sneak in when he is about finished. The big bully of the house now thinks you are his best friend ！

Now I see Mieszky and Paz sleeping together all the time.




And a very rare person came to join.....Cookie.
She is timid and pretty much stays away from Paz but if Mieszky is there to "Neutralize" , she will come sit with them. It's funny, cat dynamics.
