I was bound and determined to get a picture of Mimi for this week’s post (not to imply I publish a Caturday post every Saturday, but let’s face it, lately that’s been the case). Unfortunately, this was the best shot I could get of her. She kept moving on me! She’s a tough one to get a good picture of in the best of times. Still, you can see a bit of her sweet personality in this shot, something that’s hard to capture. The ears say she’s on alert, but that was probably because I was hovering over her.

I have 26 month old kittens. Remy is super chill and a total sweetheart. Lily is driving me crazy. She still likes to suck on my clothes and I hate this. She’s constantly jumping and knocking everything off tables and counters. They are indoor kittens and she sneaks into the garage. Any suggestions on how to get her to calm down?

Oh, I wish I had suggestions. Could you take her to the vet and ask for help? I’ve heard about some over the counter stuff that is supposed to help cats calm down. I think it’s melatonin. Mimi likes to sneak outside, although she’s gotten better. I worry about a cat that sneaks into the garage for all the reasons I’m sure you’re aware of! There are also pheromone things you can plug into a wall outlet. I thing they might help. But your vet might be the best source of information.

I have a cat pheromone plug in but doesn’t help at all. I’ll check with the vet.

I love how much you enjoy your cats! Thanks for sharing them with us. Mimi’s look is too funny. Seems like she was saying, “What are you doing? Not camera ready.” Unlike Walter.

I think that’s exactly it! She always moves when I’m trying to take a picture, while Walter poses.

Thank you. She is such a sweet cat, but she tends to look so serious. I’m glad you can see her softer side!

Mimi is a pretty girl, Belinda. I like her little front paw looking like ‘one photo and that is it, Mama!’

When I saw that paw, I thought the same thing. I think that right after I snapped that shot, she took a big roll on the carpet, then got up and ran! Like I said, it’s hard to get a good photo of her.

You would have loved the cat I visited with today at a bookstore. Mittens was his name. Twenty-years old. FIV positive with all kinds of health problems, but the most loving 17# cat! Let me talk to him and pet him. Sweetest ‘little’ tuxedo. He lives his best life with the shop owner and four other cats. I visited with him more than I looked at books! 😹

Mimi seems like she’ll pose for a picture when she’s good and ready to do so, Belinda. She definitely likes to maintain control of her “media rights.”

Ha ha media rights–I love it. I wonder if I need to get her to sign a release?
