Thank you everyone!

Lailamara ..... Cocoa (fat cat) has to be fed separately, because he will eat more than his share! This picture was taken before I had my two little boys, Tucker and Tanner ... thus only 9 in the pic!

Basically, I just had a dish for everyone .... and as I poured they would nudge their way in, and finally each one would get nudged down to the next bowl..... I guess by rank or pecking order! hehe

I no longer use the bowls .... I have a huge pet feeder, so they can nibble all day. (Except for Cocoa kitty, he is kept separately ... because a few of the others like to beat him up! )


My hubby built a huge pet enclosure/kennel in our garage. My kitties come in the house regularly, and in their enclosure. It is the size of a single car garage.... we left 1/2 open in case we need to pull a car in for some reason later on. However, the entire room is carpeted. The kennel also has built in perches, and a huge covered / carpeted litter pan enclosure. We heat and cool this room throughout the year. We also had a window installed (not called for in the house plans) when we built our home, so they could get more sunlight and fresh air ... anytime they are in their "room". We also have a privacy fenced back yard with a special "cat topper" so that they can't jump over the fence! They LOVE to go into the backyard and run and play, or lie in the sun. We also have the option to open the garage door, and they get lots of sunshine and fresh air that way too! We try our best to pamper our kitties! Yes, we love them all very much!
