Today I Am Grateful for Our Cats

This is Grayson
Our cats have a unique life at 514. They all came with us when we moved from Kettle Falls, but then when we rescued Tucker we were told he may not like cats. We didn't really work with him enough with the cats. We just came up with a new living arrangement. All day every day the cats can come and go from the basement kitty door. Their food and water and sleeping areas are in the basement and we come and go and see them during the day.

Every evening the dogs are tucked into their dog carriers (which they love to run to) and the cats come inside and upstairs for the rest of the evening and throughout the night. This has worked well for all of the animals in our house. The cats get quality time with us in the evening. The dogs get quality time with us during the day.
Things have changed recently. Two of our female cats died and we now only have three cats left. They don't seem as concerned about the dogs. Riley gingerly crept down the basement stairs a few weeks ago and William didn't even seem bothered. We will see how it goes with the other two cats and Tucker also. It would be wonderful if all of them could get along in one room at the same time. The last three are also much more affectionate now that they are the only ones left. They brighten up every one of my evenings. I am so grateful for each of them.
All our pets are spoiled and well-cared for. They just have different schedules. I am grateful for the love our cats show me every day and how they can calm me down and destress me just by sitting in my lap. At the top of the post and below are our three remaining cats.
