For those of you who have not stopped by the CB today, Smudge crossed over to the rainbow bridge last night. Please stop by his blog to express your sympathies...

Living in a multi-cat household can be a real challenge as I am sure you have read on many blogs. There are cats who like to pick on and beat up their siblings, and others who just like to be left alone. So what happens when you throw a kitty with a neurological disorder into a six cat, household mix? That is the focus of today's posting...
Moki for the most part can hold his own. While he may have trouble walking, cleaning himself, and using the litter box, he doesn't hesitate to let you know exactly what he wants and when he wants it. Moki may not do things like regular kitties, but he has adapted to get things done his way...
Each of Moki's siblings has been quite good at adjusting to Moki's needs. In the two videos, one above and one below, you will see that both Orange Boy and Mini Munch, are happy to share their food with Moki and do not mind having Moki by their side while they eat...
When it comes to play time, Moki is also included in the games. (In the video below you catch a quick glimpse of Lucy playing with Moki's tail..)

That is just one more example of why we cats are sooo wonderful. We are thoughtful,sweet little muffins.
Unfortunately, Jack and I are the kind of siblings that beat on eachother constantly. We take turns.
I usually snap because..I am cranky, my brother, he just wants to play 24/7.

Wouldn't it be a better world if all humans gave as much consideration to other humans who have special needs as Moki's housemates give to him. The cats have got it right.
I am so glad that the other cats realize Moki's limitations and play gently with him. Now if we could just get people to act like that.
It's so wonderful when the feline family in our home get along well...Moki and his furryfamily are so blessed to have beloved human like you and vice versa.
Though things get rough lately, Meaouwy Troops still like to share their furryfriend story about the unusual mark on her body and helping mommy disclose one of the reasons why we become the best communicator with humans:) so check them out in our blogs to find it more.
I am glad the other cats in the house are gentle with Moki. That is very nice of them.

I am glad that Moki's siblings are good with him. I think us kitties know when to be kind and gentle!
Happy Easter!
Oh, what a preshus, heartwarming post. Moki's got such wunnerful siblings, and it's great that they know to be loving and gentle with him.

Moki, I am so glad that your siblings are nice to you! You have enough challenges as it is!
Hope you had a great Easter!
Out of curiousity, would a cart help Moki get around? I've read about carts being used to help cats and dogs with problems using their rear legs.
It is nice that they all be nice to Moki. I have to be gentle with Livvie when I play too, coz she is old and has problems, When I get too forgetfull my mummy reminds me.
Purrs, Sukie X
