Happy 15th birthday to Mia, Peanut, Rolz, and Zeuss!

It’s the “kittens” 15th birthday! That’s a biggie! I’m happy and excited for them, but it’s also a bittersweet happiness, as this darn clock of life keeps moving ahead, seemingly at a quicker pace the older I get. I want it to slow down so I can spend more time with them, not less! Fifteen years ago, but it almost seems like yesterday… I will never forget the day they were born. Before that, Dan and I were on pins and needles, waiting for their birth. We could hardly wait to “meet” our newest feline house members and we doted (some might say, obsessively so) on Mama Zoey day and night in anticipation of their arrival. Read more

Shhhh…Don’t tell the human, but it’s us kitties – Zoey, Mia, Peanut, Rolz, Kizmet, Jazmine, and Shadow posting here! Our human is not much for New Year’s Eve celebrations, so we thought we’d hijack the blog to wish everyone a Happy Mew Year! Honestly, give her a glass of wine, some popcorn, a cat (or two, or three…) on her lap, and a marathon of Office rerun episodes to watch and she’s as pleased as punch!

Okay, guys. It’s the human here. I get it. When it comes to ringing in the New Year, I’m boring, boring, boring, and a regular party pooper. But, I can at the very least, share an over-the-top graphic I made, shimmering in fake gold and glitter to give the illusion I’m full of fun!

Thank you to our handsome Shadow for sharing his incredible eyes for this graphic.

Anyhow, all kidding aside, the cats and I wish everyone a New Year filled with peace, love, joy, kindness, and compassion. 2023 was a rough ride for many of us and we truly hope mankind can take a turn for the better.

See you in the days ahead. And by the way, just what are you planning to do to ring in the New Year? Something exciting, something low-key, or something in-between?!

It’s a Blog Hop!

Meowy Cat-Mas from the whole Zee/Zoey gang!

From all of us at Zee & Zoey’s Cat Chronicles, we wish you the happiest of holidays and wishes for a beautiful, safe, and kind New Year. We also want to take the time to remember all the precious angels who are not with us for the holidays but are forever in our hearts. We miss every one of them every day, but the holidays can be especially difficult without them. For anyone who has lost a pet, our hearts go out to you with love and compassion.

Miss my precious angels so very much.

Take care, everyone.

Love from Deb, Dan, Zoey, Mia, Peanut, Rolz, Kizmet, Jazmine, Shadow, and angels Zee, Mr. Jazz and Harley.

The model for our Thanksgiving card is the lovely Jazmine.

From all of us at Zee & Zoey’s Cat Chronicles, we wish you and yours a safe, peaceful, loving, and wonderful Thanksgiving. And, as always, we share these tips to keep our kitties safe and sound with all the treats that abound!

November is Adopt a Senior Pet month, and with five of our seven cats officially seniors, it’s hard not to dwell on their age. International Cat Care states, “Feline ages and life stages have been redefined. Cats are elderly once they reach 11 years, with senior cats defined as those aged between 11 and 14 and geriatric cats 15 years and upwards.”

That means my Zoey, who was just a tiny kitten a mere fraction of a minute ago in my mind, is now geriatric at 15 years of age. It’s tough to wrap my head around the notion, as she looks and acts as young as ever. Age is but a number to her. Her most recent checkup came back with great results, and she’s as spry, alert, and overly vocal as ever. The only thing the vet recommended was some B-12 to help support her metabolic processes, and thankfully, she happily eats her Cobalequin chewable tablets with no fuss. Her eyes remain bright and clear, and her fur is as soft as silk, too, with no grooming issues. Read more
