This is Weston’s cat, Killer, aka the dashboard cat. This is his favorite spot, on the bannister at the top of the stairs.
Weston’s cat is a big responsibility because he’s Weston’s cat. Weston is very attached to his cat, and his cat is very attached to him. Previously, Killer spent most of his time outside unless Weston was home. When we first moved here, Weston was here and he kept Killer in the studio with a litter box, along with the other cats, for their “indoctrination period” to the new farm. Cats can be hard to move, and I like to keep them indoors at first before introducing them to their new outdoor space. My cats are indoor-outdoor cats for the most part, with a few that are strictly outdoor cats (and the strictly outdoor cats have now taken up living quarters in the hayloft). My indoor-outdoor cats are doing fine in the house and out of the house….
….except for Killer.
Killer has decided that he is an indoor cat. I’ve tried putting him out the door–and he stays at the door, with his furry face smashed against the glass, crying, for hours, until I let him back in. He will not step an inch away from the door. The other cats make fun of him and he doesn’t care.
I broke down and put a litter box in the house.
Killer lives here now.
On the bannister at the top of the stairs.
The End.

Does Killer get milk when you bring in? Some cats like a little treat when the milk is fresh.

Killer looks a lot like my Maine Coon that decided to be an outside cat. We rarely see him anymore. He was my baby. Err I mean my sweet loving good kitty.

Like “It’s about time this woman realizes I’m the one in charge here”.

No offense to dogs, though — I like them as well — but cats are more subtle.
At this stage in our lives we have two cats. They provide hours of fun to watch because, let’s face it, much of their behavior is based on false assumptions on their part. They are like politicians in that regard.
Also — cats = easy to keep. Ours can go three days without human intervention. Change the litter, fill the food dishes, and you’ve got another three days — perfect for cat sitters to come in every so often when you are traveling.
Not sure it’s so easy with ten of them, however.
But I’m kinda sad about Boomer. I think that the video of Boomer and Annabelle cavorting in the old yard is one of the best vids on the web. I’ll bet Annabells misses him too.
But that’s not the sort of fun behavior you’d see from a cat.
