New sleeping arrangements / Worried about Katie

On prior posts, I published pictures of the three "cuchas" I had made for the boys with On the Border potato chip cardboard boxes I got at Walmart. Neither Paquito nor Nico had any problem adjusting to them though at the time the "raccoon and possum" episode had not taken place yet.

After that horrible incident, I moved Paquito's doggie bed that I had gifted last Christmas to Rudy, Nico, Sonny, and him but that ultimately Paquito decided it would only be HIS and put in a different location.


I placed his bed on a table by the kitchen porch as he preferred his bed to his cucha. Since it got cold back when I did that I made sure his cucha was next to his bed in case the rain, cold and wind made it uncomfortable for him...he had another alternative.


With that said he hardly ever used it.  I set two other cuchas on another table but by the back porch for Nico and Katie. Katie did use hers but one morning I saw her coming out of the cucha by Paquito's bed.  I was very SURPRISED as Paquito is very territorial and does not like to share his things (sounds likes his owner) :)

For some reason, Nico decided he preferred to sleep somewhere else (have not found out where) and Katie took over the one intended for Paquito and forgot about hers. The three fur babies I have left have put on some weight in the past two months. I was worried about Katie being pregnant but I think she is just chunky or at least I hope that is all she is.

She is not a morning cat and after breakfast, she goes back to sleep. Last night we had an incident...I will write about it in my main blog...and I think she might have gotten scared. She has been sleeping all day or awake but still inside the safety of her cat house which I think is odd as she is usually all over the place.  I just hope she is not nesting and about to give birth.


Thank you for visiting Walter's World.

  1. Even though you feed the cats individually they might be steeling other cats food. Either that or you are overfeeding them.
    Be Safe and Enjoy the cooler temperatures.

    It's about time.

    1. In this part of the county, we have a problem with stray, as well as wild animals, be it dogs, cats, possums, raccoons and perhaps other animals I am not even aware of.

      I, therefore, do not think the cats are eating other cats' food but one never really knows. After the incident with both the black cat as well as the raccoon and possum, I watched while they ate and then took the food inside.

      I only feed them twice a day but they are good hunters and constantly prey on poor little birds (that is why I got them new collars with a bell) and mice (mice and rats I am OK with).
