No, I’m not suggesting that you order a DNA test kit for your cat today. Although no shame here if you do. Cats’ DNA is fascinating because so much of it is visible when you look at them. Did you know: Over 80% of orange cats are male, and orange females are usually sterile Only 1 in 3000 tortoise shell… Read more »
This week we celebrate a very special milestone at Casa Palmer! July 18th marks the one year anniversary of Oreo’s arrival in our home. Pat saw Oreo – then named Hershey- was up for adoption at a local shelter and instantly knew he wanted to add him to our family. He had been talking about getting a male cat for… Read more »
This is another obvious holiday and also another holiday I can really get behind. It’s Hug Your Cat 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 »

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 »
It’s been about 3 months since we brought Oreo into our home so I figured folks would like an update on how things are going. Overall, things are going great! Oreo settled in like he’d been here forever in just a few hours. We never went through a “hiding under the bed” phase of adjusting to a new space. He… Read more »
Today is Defy Superstition day! I celebrate this every day because I have adopted several black cats! Of course, many people think they are bad luck and probably think I’m pressing my luck every day. That may or may not be the case, but it’s not because of my cats LOL. Maybe you aren’t going to adopt a cat today,… Read more »
As you should be well aware by now, I am a cat person. NOTE- I am NOT a crazy cat lady. I only have three cats. And I have a spouse. Crazy cat ladies do not have spouses. So, why are cats better than dogs? Glad you asked! #5 Cats live longer. Everyone knows the worst part of having a… Read more »
