Twirl has decided she is alpha upstairs. Anyone who challenges her on the second level is quickly chased downstairs and out of the house. However, although she does vocally challenge the alphas on the lower level, that is as far as she takes it. Matuse, Oliver, Everest and Prowler are the clear alphas on the first floor. In the enclosure, Dash is the one that everyone acknowledges rules the roost, along with McKinley. Guinevere rules the bedroom- that cats definitely know their place.

They also know I am not feeling well these days. Every time I go to settle down in my chair, I have at least 3 cats on me in a matter of minutes. I have to take them off my lap, can’t take their weight on my chest and belly. I don’t know what bug is chasing me lately but I can’t seem to shake it.
