Zoe has always had a problem taking care of his long hair. His mane is even longer than the rest of his fur, and he always gets a mouthful of it when he grooms.

We plan to get him a spring cut next week. He’ll get a short cut on his underside but we may leave the rest of his coat alone until we’re sure warm weather is here to stay.

It’s hard to make sure all the cats get all their food but not someone else’s food. I put medicine in Zoe’s canned food, and naturally every other cat wants some of that. If I put food out for Dusty and Rusty I have to make sure Sylvester and Smokey are inside, or they’ll chase them away. If I put dry food down inside the house, Zoe wants to eat that as well as his canned food. So sometimes Chloe gets breakfast in bed.

Wake up little kitty

We can tell the seasons are changing because the sun isn’t shining into our bedroom as much now as it did earlier this year. That means the critters have to fight for space in the sun. Zeke is the biggest, so he usually gets the best spot. Zoe had to settle for a spot on Zeke’s bed this time.

I think Zoe got the best of it this time.

Every night during cold weather Chloe comes in to sleep on our bed.

Getting ready for bed

When we get ready to come to bed, Chloe gets affectionate.

And then right before we turn out the lights, she wants a goodnight kiss.
