Take It Easy Training because cats don't obey. They cooperate. - Way of Cats wayofcats.com/blog/take-it-eas

I do take it easy when it comes to my cat training. Because I don’t worry about how I’m going to get the cat to do something they don’t want to do.

Since this will never happen.

Lou and Rhiannon kept the size disparity from when she was a kitten. Lou gets all soft in the face when he sees her.

His first kitten.

When we are our cat's Special Person - Way of Cats wayofcats.com/blog/when-we-are

I left Tristan with all his cat friends and a close human friend, and yet he felt my lack constantly. He has many "touch points" with me during the times I'm home, and he always snuggles with me during the night.

When is It Okay to Give Up the Cat for Someone? - Way of Cats wayofcats.com/blog/when-is-it-

I got a complaint:

"I can’t help but think that this forum has been REALLY one-sided. The cat lovers seem to be taking great pleasure in hearing other (disillusioned) people tell them what they want to hear."

I have highlighted the line of Lou's cowlick with a red marker. I snapped the picture as the sunlight just touched it.

But digital photography didn't pick it up. So I helped.

You're welcome 😻

NEW POST! Kittens, Still Here, because we can keep the kitten feeling, longer. - Way of Cats wayofcats.com/blog/kittens-sti ‎

Morgen, our youngest, just turned three. That’s usually when we have a good look at the cat they will become.

Because there’s so much more after kitten- and teen-hood.
