Late Fall 2017: Hangry Tanzi and Avocado lover Pema

The boys have been extra hungry as the temperatures have cooled and I guess this is pretty typical behavior for cats at this time of year. Tanzi continues to be unusually hungry and despite his medical tests saying he was negative for hyperthyroidism, we worry he actually may have it. He is constantly hungry and looking for food. We did switch him to a wet food diet and perhaps we just need to feed him more small meals throughout the day. Perhaps we'll need to talk to the vet again soon and figure this out. I worry about that hangry little guy!

A fuzzy photo, but a fun way to show a typical day with the cats. All three on my legs while I lay on the couch. Oh and Pema has this habit of resting his head on my hand while he sleeps.
 Poor Tanzi! All three cats cram into beds around the house, probably for warmth more than anything.
This reminds me of pictures of me sleeping on my mom when I was little! Shiva sleeping with his daddy.
 The three little buggers waiting for me to stop cleaning and play with them.
Pema's new favorite food is avocado. I first noticed his obsession when I left a shell on the counter to go out to the composter. When I returned to it, I found it was completely cleaned out. 

So the next time I went to eat one, I found Pema following me around and he was clearly interested in checking it out. I let him lick a little and he was obsessed! Shiva soon came over to join him and also loved the fruit. It can be bad for cats in larger amounts, so I limit how much they can eat. Essentially, they just lick a little and don't eat big chunks.

 So pretty glowing in the sunlight!
Curious little Pema.
Love this shot of Pema!

Pema the "character"

Oh Pema-he always makes his way into any open bin, box or basket. 
The boys liked the little blanket fort I setup for them at the base of the couch.

 Shiva playing around this morning. He loves to jump on this cat condo and scratch on his side.
 Pema was posing again this morning.
Look at all of the silly things we use to block the cats from getting into the hall closet and the bedroom doors. It's ridiculous really. You should see it when we go on vacation for a couple of days. The doors have to be blocked by big tupperware containers.

Lately

The kitties have been getting into more trouble lately. Last Saturday, I had to work until late at night and I came home to Craig telling me that they had finally discovered the kitchen counters and were jumping on them constantly. Ugh!

They still play with toys quite a bit to stay busy and out of trouble. I was able to get two cute mice for them for free with a Pet Supplies Plus birthday coupon (meant for Tanzi).






They've been watching birds with enthusiasm for the last week or so. They especially like watching out the back window, where the bird feeder is.

Welcome!

I'm starting this cat blog to document the lives of our three cats, Tanzi, Pema and Shiva. Tanzi is almost 8 years old and the kittens, Pema and Shiva, are almost five months old!


My husband Craig originally adopted Tanzi and his brother Karma in 2006. We lost Karma in April of 2013 and still miss him every day. Thankfully, the love of new kittens has eased our heartache a little bit. We adopted Pema and Shiva from the Wisconsin Humane Society at the end of November of 2013.

The blog name was inspired by my favorite poster about cats, Katzenmanifest, which I had first spotted in a store in Berlin, Germany on our honeymoon. It documents the typical life of a cat, including sleeping, eating, hunting, yawning and being arrogant!



Thanks for following along in their adventures!
