I have 8 cats. Max is the KING/QUEEN he will do the punishing and he is also the cat everyone goes to get a bath, a little TLC, play fighting and they all fight to see who gets to sleep with him too.
He isn't even the oldest cat but he is Papa to everyone.

I currently have 5 ladies (with the 6th due to arrive in about 3 weeks) - so we are "kingless" household. Especially since I am a single mom of two girls as well. May God have mercy on any poor male that decides to join our family.


Although Zoey is the oldest and has "Queens rights" by strictly seniority, the baby - Pebbles rules the roost and is always challenging her. Problem is that Pebbles is not that graceful and actually quite clumsy, so attacks, chases, challenges of any type usually turn into falls, trips, slips, etc. It's cute.

Well...I would have to give Lucky the title of Queen Apparent of the house. I say apparent because it is mostly that Lucky thinks she's in charge of the house and lords of over it as such. But when Rambo got sick and had to go to the vet for a few days she turned into a big suck, refused to eat or drink until Rambo got back. So...i think we all know who's really in charge!

I have two cats. Pepper (the oldest) is defintely THE queen of the household and she always was. From the time we brought her home, she acted like royalty
. Poor Pixie didn't have a chance when we brought her home and boy Pepper wasn't long in letting Pixie know who the "Queen Bee" was (that's what my bf calls Pepper
).

We have 6 kitties.... Buddy,even though he is a wuse, afraid of everything, is the King by default because he is the only adult male. Scamper will probably take over that role in a couple of months. Sissy is the Queen and is totally in charge of everything. She tells us when her food bowl is empty and if she needs her waterbowl refilled. Bonnie is the old lady of the house and hates all the younger kitties. She stays to herself and is a loner. The 2 little girls are princesses, and act like this. One of them is even named Princess.

7 cats....... My 17 year old cat used to be the queen bee over 5 males!! She is very old and sick now, so she has retired her reign as alpha. It's a toss up who is the alpha now. My youngest abyssinian Frankie, and his buddy george are the terror tots of the house. George is a stray kitten that Frankie adopted. They became best friends from the very beginning. They keep the older cats on their toes.....

Aurora isn't a wild cat. She is one of our Pixie Bobs, a domestic cat with an attitude
Yes, she even pushes the cougar around

I have 4 cats and Simba is the ruler of the roost, as well as the naughtiest. Simba is so "special" he doesn't eat on the floor like the other cats do. He eats on the counter, and he HAS to be the first one fed.

Well, as you can see from my signature I have a zoo at my house. I haven't updated my signature in a bit though so I do have a couple of additions and subtractions.

Peter, Snow, Angel, Leia, and Comet are my indoor kitties. Peter is definitely "The King", but our dog, Sassy, is the cat herder and torments universally.

Kit Kat, Midnight Shadow, Stormy II, Milo, and Gray Boy are my ferals. Midnight is definitely "The King", but when King Peter goes out for his daily strolls, they occassionally have a battle of wills. Not as bad since I had Midnight s/n though
.

There are two or three more ferals that come and go from the colony. Another black tom that looks like Midnight (manx) but has a tail. Another gray tabby with a stub tail. A long haired gray and white tabby that probably belongs to a neighbor but pops over for a bite once in a while. And
Mom informed me this morning that she saw another calico lurking yesterday. (Another $70 for s/n!)

Frenchie and Skipper (fan-tailed, calico goldfish) killed Stripes
; so we are down to two snails. The murderers! What did he ever do but clean up after them.

SO let me see... That brings me up to 10 cats (+ 4 part-timers), two dogs, five fish, and two snails. This doesn't include the possums(3), raccoons(5), or armadillo(1) that raids the cat food at night.

May God continue to keep us all by His marvelous grace.

Six cats, three dogs, three birds. The cats are all neutered males 1-2 years old and no one "rules" yet. The dogs consist of a pug, westie and lab/pit mix, and the pug rules the dog and human domain.

We have four cats, two humans and a few fishies. We almost had no fishies b/c Zakk decided when hubby was cleaning the fish tank that they would make a nice snack- he had to go to the isolation chamber poor thing for a few minutes. (bathroom) The only challenge I find with four kitties is keeping up on litter box cleaning.
Zakk thinks he is king, and is not above trying to push me around- a few well placed smacks in the legs. Rocky does challenge him occ, but the other two never bother. Zakk is the oldest and our first kitty, and interestingly, among the three boys will probably end up the smallest- Cookie is as long as him at about 8 month, and rocky out weighs him by almost 5 pounds. The only person he seems to have some respect for is hubby, and will let hubby cradle him at night under the covers.

There's no place like home
10 inside cats, 1 in/out cat and 2 outdoor cats (although one of those is in my house as I type) and 2 dogs.

Stumpy has been the alpha for about 8-1/2 years now, although Scarlett is absolutely the queen of the house. When the 2 of them tussle, it's hard to tell who wins even though Scarlett is half of Stumpy's size. Nobody messes with Scarlett and the other males often challenge Stumpy.

I have 3 (Buffy, Willow, and Molly) and Buffy is THE boss cat.

For shedding, Buffy is a demon shedder in the spring while Willow hardly sheds at all. We haven't had Molly that long, but we'll find out what kind of spring shedder she is soon enough

We have 2 cats: Lemur and Monkey. ......Monkey is the Queen, she will push lemur out of the way to get treats!....the funniest thing that she will do is make Lemur move out of the cat Hammock we have....lemur will be laying down sleeping and monkey will come up and sit on lemur until she moves....its funny because as soon as lemur will move monkey gives a look like "Yeah that's right, I am the queen". But Lemur is the baby of the house.....she is the most loving and will fight for my lap all day long.
