Jellicle Cats...

Jellicles do and Jellicles can
Jellicles can and Jellicles do
Jellicle cats sing Jellicle chants
Jellicles old and Jellicles new
Jellicle song and Jellicle dance

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Practical cats, dramatical cats
Pragmatical cats, fanatical cats
Oratorical cats, delphioracle cats
Skeptical cats, dispeptical cats
Romantical cats, pedantical cats
Critical cats, parasitical cats
Allegorical cats, metaphorical cats
Statistical cats and mystical cats
Political cats, hypocritical cats
Clerical cats, hysterical cats
Cynical cats, rabbinical cats

So as the cat mom of 2 cats, I have learned a lot. First, not two cats are the same. Second, not all cats get along. Growing up we always had cats, we put the cats together and then eventually they ended up getting along. Even Jax, the cat Abby and I got for our mom. He was an only cat for YEARS and then I decided to get a kitten when I was in an apartment that didn't allow it, thus I had to give the cat to my mom and it was then that Jax got a friend. They were enemies for 3 days, and now they clean each other and wait for the other one to get fed so they can eat together. So I blame my history when I assumed that if you took things slow enough you could make any two cats get along. Well THESE two cats are very very different.
We took our time, we read up on HOW to get cats to like each other... we did it all by the book. They spatted a little, but not too bad. Then about 4 months ago Dakota started peeing everywhere except the litter box. We were told it was bladder crystals. Well either we were lied to or it cleared up. She no longer has crystals. But now what she DOES have is behavioral issues. Her and the other cat are NOT buddies and that lack of friendship is now causing her to spray (yea, females cats do it too WHO KNEW!!). So now, we have to keep them separated, in a one bedroom apartment. Dakota has the living room, Kory has the bedroom. And we have to spray the areas she HAS peed in with an enzyme spray and claming spray.
AND, just to make sure I am a TRUE crazy cat lady, we got Dakota a leash and harness so she can go outside and roll around in the grass and get in touch with her wild side. I guess the outdoors calms cats. sheesh.
AND we can't yell at her or scold her because that just makes her more nervous.

UGGGGGGGG!!!!! ARRRRRRGGGGG!!!!

She is a very cute cat who loves everyone, WHY is she messed up in the head?!?!

it's going to be a long time till I am willing to have a human child. This is crazy. Cats are supposed to be easy.
