March 2021 Cat Update

I have not made a post since February 2021 though a lot has taken place in the interim. I was only able to bring in Nico and Paquito during the arctic blast since the kitchen is located in the back part of the house and I can close the door to prevent them from coming to the main house as my mother is allergic to pet hair and dander.

On the two coldest days I brought them to my bedroom but they were not happy in particular Paquito who whines loudly when he can't get his way. He would wake me and Nico up at 5:30 a.m. like he was an alarm clock or something. I could not let him outside as there were 10 inches of snow on the ground and he is not used to that plus he could freeze his little paws.

My camera died about three years ago and I have been relying on my cellphone to take pictures and recently the pictures have gotten progressively worse. I need to purchase another phone but I have not had the time to research what is on the market and the ones that I see advertised are not exactly budget-friendly.

Most of the pictures I took of this once-in-a-lifetime snow event that broke records for the area came out terrible including the ones of the cats. 

I could not bring in Bonnie Mae and Mauricio as they are younger than Nico and Paquito and they do not like each other as they are always getting bullied by them. I made sure I insulated their cucha and that they had plenty of blankets and old winter clothes to stay comfy.

I do not like to leave food out but it was so cold I left plenty on top of the old washing machine so Katie (Bonnie Mae and Mauricio's mother) and Blanca (Nico and Paquito's mama) as well as the other strays could have something to eat as everything was covered in snow.

I think it is safe to say that much like us humans the cats were happy to see the white stuff melt away.

These were taken after the second snow event when the sun finally came out and they were happy to be back in their element.

We had a problem with the new cat beds. It seems Nico decided he liked Paquito's bed better than the one I purchased for him. 

Paquito was left with no choice but to sleep on the other bed. I am surprised he relented without a fight!

Nico saying...try to move me if you can :-)

New cat beds / Arctic Blast

The arctic blast has arrived in the area. I am so glad I went to purchase my boys and little girl's food yesterday at Tractor & Supply when it was still sunny and warm.  I also decided to buy a formal cat bed to be shared by Bonnie Mae and Mauricio and one for Nico. No, I did not forget about Paquito...I bought a bed for him and his two brothers Nico and Rudy when they were little but Paquito decided that bed was for him and would not let them sleep in it...😕

They only had three colors to choose from and since the boys are black and white decided to instead purchase a pink one for Bonnie Mae and Mauricio and a green one for Nico.

It started raining yesterday so I left the plastic bag it came in so it would not get wet and put a towel and a soft fleece blanket for warmth. I also placed an old mat in the bottom of the cardboard box so it would not move as that box is inside of one of my heavy-duty storage containers I bought a while back to keep the rain from soaking the cardboard box.

Bonnie Mae always sleeps towards the back of the cucha and Mauricio protects her by sleeping in the front.

Their mother Katie has once again been coming around to eat even though darn Paquito ran her off again yesterday and he got a good yelling from his human mama (ME) 😄
