Calblog

Catblogging

The Calblog house has 4 cats, one goldfish and 12 fertile chicken eggs which I hope will produce 2 or 3 egglaying chickens. Our youngest cat, Patrick, was orphaned at birth or soon after and handraised in the foster program at the Glendale Humane Society before he joined the Calblog house.

All of our cats are friendly to us. Patrick is the only one that is friendly to everyone and anyone who walks in the door since he requires more love and affection than even 4 of us can dish out. He also retains one habit that no other cat I've had has kept. At 2 years of age, he still nurses to calm himself down. When he was little, he nursed on fingers. Now he nurses on my blanket or one of my daughter's blankets. (The other daughter values her sleep and cats are not allowed in her room.) Usually he waits to be invited but this morning, at an early hour for a Sunday, I was awoken by Patrick pushing and prodding the blanket into just the right position before he began sucking noisily.
