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.

Zoe loves food, and he loves to lie down on the towel where we feed the dogs, but he doesn’t really love dog food. So we were a little surprised at seeing him use Lucy’s bowl for a pillow.

When we looked a little while later, he had moved over to Zeke’s bowl.

Silly cat.

Zoe is my original kitty, but I have to admit that he’s not a very friendly cat. In fact, he gets downright mean sometimes. That’s why I don’t understand why Smokey wants to be friends. But he does.

Best buds?

Smokey does this kind of thing a lot. He’s not the only one, but he tries harder than the others.

Oh, Zoe and Smokey say, “Happy Valentine’s Day!”

Note: We’ll post the final story of the great snowstorm tomorrow. Here’s a hint though: everything turns out OK for us.
