Zoey is the third cat we rescued, but she has always wanted to be the alpha cat. She is a very sweet cat, but is annoyed that she has to share the house and property with ten other cats. Whenever a new cat is dumped on our property and appears on the deck (sadly this happen every few years) Zoey lets us know there is a stranger by growling loudly. I have called her "The Lady Zoey, Keeper and Protector of the Realm" because she is a fierce defender of the property. Once, in her younger years, she treed a racoon at dusk and I had to bring her in so he could get away. She has even growled at my husband from the window when he was outside in the winter wearing a hood that obscured his identity. She takes her duties as protector very seriously.
She does her best to tolerate the other cats (mostly by ignoring them), but has an ongoing feud with Junior. They grumble at each other all the time and occasionally lunge at each other just to prove who's toughest.
Zoey loves to go outdoors, but like all the cats is required to come inside by five pm. She hates the cold, so doesn't really enjoy Michigan outdoors in the winter like some of the cats. She used to have "her chair" in the TV room, but I got a new chair and ottoman for me to use as a reading chair and she has now claimed that as "her chair." And I let her have it because she's such a sweetie.
