I am so disappointed with Paquito

I am so disappointed with Paquito. I am closer to him than to the other cats because he has had so many health issues. I have taken him to the veterinarian more times than I care to remember.

The kitchen is located in the back part of the house as it was a later addition.  I can also close the door blocking it off from the rest of the house. This is important because my mother is allergic to pet dander.

Paquito eats more than all the other cats combined. Even though he is full he parks himself by the kitchen door that leads to the porch and as soon as I open it he rushes in wanting even more food. If I do not give it to him he starts crying so loud if you did not know any better you would think he has not eaten in days.

I frequently have to go outside to hang clothes, water the plants, etc etc.  Rudy my other cat does not eat much and lately has been sleeping a lot and sneezing as he has a cold. I have been letting him come inside since it is warmer and been feeding him canned cat food and leftovers. He is sweet, well behaved and very lovable.

Well, Paquito was not having any of it...he rushed in pushed him aside and ate Rudy's food.  If that was not enough he hid under the table where I keep some of my many boxes. I finally kicked him out only to find that he had sprayed his scent.

I was so mad, had to wipe down the kitchen cabinets, mop the floors and take some of my boxes outside. I have enough work as it is without adding more to my To Do list.

He is banned from ever coming inside!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Meet Sonny

As you know Blanca's three kittens (now full grown cats) have adopted me.  Another kitten whom I have no idea where he came from decided to make this his home as well. He has finally been accepted by the other three and Blanca, so I now have five cats to deal with.

I named him Sonny, he is cute but is still afraid of me unless I am bearing food.  He is younger than the other three.  Since he is a boy I have made no effort to bond with him as he won't be getting pregnant and bringing more cats for me to support.

I debated the other day that I was at Dollar Tree whether to buy him a cat collar or not.  Bought him a blue one and put it on him this morning but not before he scratched my finger.  As far as scratches go it is nothing out of this world but it hurts none the less.

My camera bit the dust and by the time I found my cellphone he had gone to hide.   He looked so cute but I do not think the little bow tie on his collar will last until tomorrow.
