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 »
No matter if you have cats, dogs, ferrets, or something else, today is the day to celebrate your pet! I have written a lot about my cats and everyone who knows me knows how important they are to me. We all went on the journey of Lilly’s pregnancy and babies together and to this day people ask about those kittens!… Read more »
You have a cold, cold heart if you don’t appreciate today. It’s Cuddly Kitten Day! Who doesn’t love a cuddly baby animal? We’ve all fallen victim to falling down a YouTube or social media rabbit hole of cute babies at least once, right? Of course you have! In 2021 friends and family of me and my husband enjoyed the escapades… Read more »
By the time this post goes live I will have said my final goodbyes to my sweet baby girl Pumpkin. She was 16 years old and we have had her since she was 5 months old. She is having severe digestive issues, she is losing weight rapidly, and she is not acting like herself at all. The other cats seem… Read more »
Today is National Cat Herders Day. This is actually about people who juggle many balls at once- i.e. doing something that’s as difficult as herding cats. But honestly, doesn’t the visual of someone ACTUALLY herding cats seem a lot more fun?
Yes, I do mark this day every year. And I will continue to do so until the myths about black cats have been banished. I will continue to do this until black cats are adopted at the same rate as cats of other colors. Black cats rock. Everyone should have one. I have two right now, and if my husband… Read more »
Last week marked the one year mark of Lilly being a member of our family. I don’t remember exactly how I came up with the name Lilly for her. Maybe I knew more than I realized, because lately I have suggested that Lilly is actually short for Little Miss Mayhem. She still has very much a kitten’s personality and energy… Read more »
There is a question my husband and I have been asked many times in the past few months. No, not that one. The OTHER question we get asked a lot is “When is Lilly going to have another litter?” The answer is very simple. Never. In large part to get the word out that we had kittens that would need… Read more »
Last summer when Lilly first showed up on our doorstep a lot of people commented that Hershey sent her (For the newcomers, Hershey was my husband’s cat who passed on last winter at the age of 18 1/2 and the poster child for this post). Originally I laughed that off. Even if I did believe that a dearly departed cat… Read more »
This past week was a rough one for me, even though it saw a plan come to a completely successful completion. This past week all 3 of our surprise kittens went to wonderful forever homes. To say I got emotional would be an understatement. I knew it would be better for all involved parties if I was not at home… Read more »
