We love any day that celebrates cats around here and today is no exception- it’s National Tabby Cat day! This is a very new holiday- created in 2016 by Mayor’s Alliance for N.Y.C.’s Animals to celebrate and educate the public about tabby cats. Tabby isn’t a breed- it’s a color pattern that is seen in many different types of purebred… Read more »
In the words of the late great Bob Barker, “Have your pets spayed or neutered”. It’s really that simple. Shelters are so full that perfectly healthy cats and dogs are put down every day. That shouldn’t happen. It doesn’t need to happen. If you have pets do the right thing.
Today is a day to celebrate our feline companions- it’s Mew Year for Cats day!

As you obviously know if you’re reading this I currently share my home with 3 spoiled felines- Boots, Lilly, and Oreo – who is lending his adorable face to this post. I have hugged all of them against their will many… Read more »
There are few things I love more than my lil fuzzbutts- i.e. my cats. There isn’t anything like the feeling of coming home after a long day of work and seeing one or more of my babies running down the hall to see me. Or the contentment of having a purring kitty in my lap. The other night Pat and… Read more »
Today is celebrated every day here at Casa Palmer- it’s adopt a shelter pet day! While Lilly came from the mean streets of Hampton, both our other cats came to us via a shelter. Yes it’s true that we got Boots from a friend, but she got her from a shelter. And of course Oreo was from a shelter and… Read more »
This might be the easiest holiday to celebrate ever! It’s National Love Your Pet Day! If you have a pet, you love it. Unless you are a horrible human. Then you are dead to me. Go away. As EVERYONE knows, I have had cats since my early 20s. I currently have 3 babies- Boots, Lilly, and Oreo. And yes I… Read more »
First of all, I want to make it VERY clear that I love Oreo with all my heart. Really I do. I fell in love with him approximately 0.5 seconds after laying eyes on him. Promise. But. He is a lot. I mean A LOT A LOT. In 6 months he has not yet figured out that Boots does not… Read more »
