A proud Mama Zoey and her days old kittens (Born on February 12, 2009)

Mama’s come in all shapes, sizes, colors, species and races. A mother can be a mother by birth, by adoption, by friendship or any number of other circumstances. A mother can even be a male, or maybe an aunt or a sister or someone who is an expecting Mama-to-be. To me, being a mother is defined as being someone who cares for, who nurtures for, who teaches and who inspires. Some of us are good at it and a lot of us still have a lot to learn. Doesn’t really matter how you define the word though – it is personal to all of us and there is no correct definition in my opinion.

The incredibly gorgeous Miss Zoey… clearly she is aging with stunning grace,  beauty, and style…

It’s no secret in our house that Zoey is the cat love of my life. Besides her obvious physical beauty, Zoey is a highly intelligent, very special girl who means more to me than I could possibly express in words. Yes, she can be a bit moody. And yes, she has a very strong opinion about everything. She growls more than she purrs and can give you a look that will freeze you in your tracks. She also has a less than endearing habit of mowiling (a combination of meowing and yowling at the same time) very early in the morning for me to wake up BEFORE my alarm goes off. Despite all that, she really is a sweetheart and an absolute treasure. When she loves you, she really LOVES you and the volume of her purring then, can shake the house! She has the most adorable prance and when she gaits into a room, her whole little petite body radiates with pure energy and joy. She is my blessing and I adore her, quirks and all, with all of my heart and soul.  

On behalf of myself, Zee, her beloved cat companion and father of her children, Mia, Peanut, Rolz, and Zeuss, as well as Dan, my counterpart and her human Papa, along with her other feline housemates – Jazz and Harley, we salute you and wish you A VERY HAPPY 3RD BIRITHDAY!!! We all love you so much and we look forward to wising you many more birthdays with us ♥  ♥ ♥

Since today is Valentine’s Day, it is the ideal time to reflect on the love of our beloved Zee and Zoey. If you translate the timeline of these feline lovebirds from cat to human years, they have been a couple for over 21 years and still remain happily in love! Zee met Zoey when she was just a tiny little kitten and he towered over her. He was instantly smitten with this miniature leopard and fell head over heels in love with her. Zoey soon returned the feelings and after a brief whirlwind courtship, they had a wonderful litter of four kittens together!

While they have calmed down a bit, Zee and Zoey remain the purr-fect couple and symbolize all that Valentine’s Day is – they are still completely devoted to one another, but have also learned to accept one another’s personality quirks. For example, Zoey can be a bit surly, bossy, loud and demanding. But Zee, as any good mate, finds those traits charming and endearing and chalks it up to part of her unique being and loves her all the more for it. Zee himself is a sweet and loving creature – occasionally he will get spooked by life in general, noise, movement, and make believe monsters and nonexistent peril and danger. Zoey overlooks these moments and graciously pretends he is her Maine Coon knight in shining armor.

From the bottom of their furry little hearts, Zee and Zoey hope you enjoy this special day and make sure to tell those close to you how much you love them.

While Dan, Jazz, Harley, Zee, Zoey, Mia, Peanut, Rolz and I celebrate Christmas in our house, we respect that not all of you have the same traditions and beliefs. Regardless of your persuasions, we just want to take this time to reach out to all of you and wish you the happiest of holidays and warm wishes for a blessed New Year. We thank you for all of your support and loyalty these past few months and just wanted to let you know we have had so much fun sharing our stories with you.

Heartfelt  Love and Meows  from all of us!  See you next year!
