Queen Zoey – the ultimate cat goddess…<\/p><\/div>\n

Let’s see. I’ve stepped in vomit. Broken up an overly dramatic hissing-fit between two equally assertive alpha-cats. Cleaned up urine as a result of said hissing-fit in which spraying was the retaliatory method of choice. I’ve also stepped on 14 plush toys left out, making their way as a trail from the bedroom to the kitchen as some sort of homage to the food dishes on the floor, glaringly empty of food. All before 5:00 a.m., the appointed hour my seven cats give me the not-so-subtle wake up call that I’ve had more than enough sleeping in like some sort of lazy vagabond and it’s time for breakfast, thank you very much. I can assure you, the routine is not for the weak of heart. That said, these are my cats and I love them unconditionally. I also respect them. I understand what might seem as a nuisance to some, are behaviors that come with the territory of cat guardianship, and I’m okay with that. <\/p>\n

With today being Respect Your Cat Day rather than list all the ways I respect my cats, which I do, each and every day – such as feeding them high-quality food, taking them to the veterinarian for check-ups, providing them with a stimulating environment suited to their wild nature, grooming them, playing with them and more – I thought I’d share a picture of each of my gang in a pose that inspires awe and respect of the majestic beauty that is the epitome of  being feline. <\/p>\n
