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 »
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 »

They can get VERY sick before it’s obvious something is wrong. That’s why it’s important that your cat makes regular trips to the vet. … Read more »
Today is International Cat Day! Here at Casa Palmer we are back to a 3 cat household thanks to the recent addition of Oreo, so every day is International Cat Day here. While worldwide most households have dogs than cats, most people who have cats have more than one, so there are more pet cats than pet dogs all told…. Read more »
This past week my husband and I welcomed a new family member! Meet Oreo! As you may remember, my husband and I said goodbye to our sweet baby girl Pumpkin last December after a wonderful 16 years together. In recent months we’ve been talking about adopting another cat on and off, but nothing too concrete. We had a few… Read more »
Today is a special day, but not a funny one. It’s Pet Remembrance Day. Started in the UK, today is the day to look back fondly on our dearly departed companion animals. Most of us think of cats and dogs, but there are lots of other animal options too- think horses, rabbits, ferrets, snakes, etc. Whatever the species, if you… Read more »
I’ve been talking/ writing about my dearly departed Pumpkin and the always surprising Lilly (aka Lil’ Miss Mayhem) a lot, but today we are going to talk about my BFF Boots. Last week we marked Boot’s 6th “Gotcha Day”. For those unfamiliar, Gotcha Day is the day you adopted/ “got” your fur baby and is the alternative for when you… Read more »
