Gratuitous former kitten blogging: Get him off my cat tree edition
By Gina Spadafori
September 24, 2008
The Orange Squirt, a/k/a Ilario, turned seventh months old this week. He is longer than Clara, as tall, but not as heavy. Easy to guess he’s going to be a lot bigger when he’s done growing, a real chunk of fluff.
He’s out of focus, but I post this for the look on her face, which is typical: She likes him, and they cuddle and play, but she would rather him stay off the top of her cat tree.
Update, five minutes later: If she pushes him any harder, he’ll be on the floor.

I can hear Clara saying to Ilario, “You need a hobby” or “Didn’t you say you have mice to chase?”

We have 2 cats - Pris and her brother Shadow and Pris gets the exact same look when she doesn’t like sharing her “stuff” with him - and he gets that same “yah, yah - I’m not leaving” look and gets extremely stubborn about not letting her have her way even if she pushes. So she’ll get all huffy and hissy - have a little fit and run off which seems to make Shadow extremely happy.

Maybe he should have a tree of his own.

And Clara will immediately claim it, then Ilario can have the current one, and all will be peace and happiness. ;-)

In my household the bigger cat gets the best of everything—she swats her smaller friend with her paw and tells her to buzz off. Any cat condo I own is hers.

I just gave my “rave review” on Amazon.com for the Ultimate Cat Lover Book!
It really is a great book with heart-warming stories, delightful pics.
Of course, all the expert advice is greatly appreciated because I want to learn as much as I can about cats—seeing I enjoy them so much.
Of course, what I enjoyed best was learning what annoys cats when dealing with humans—seen from a cat point of view.
