Today is Pet Day! As you know from my posts (if not my logo), I love cats. I currently share my home with 3 black beauties- Hershey, Pumpkin (yes, she’s black) and Boots. All three of these fur kids came into my life in different ways- Hershey was my husband’s cat before he and I got married, Pumpkin came from… Read more »
It’s been almost 6 months since we welcomed Boots into our home and I’m pleased to let everyone know that Operation Add Third Cat is a success! No, we don’t have kitties holding paws and meowing Kumbaya together, but the hissing and the growling is virtually nonexistent and we’ve even caught all 3 of them sleeping on our bed together… Read more »
It’s Black Cat Appreciation day today! Yes, I commemorated this day last year but it bears repeating. Black cats are the least likely to be adopted out of shelters and way too many people still fear them. I currently share my home with 3 black cats (And yes, they are getting along better all the time). So I can tell… Read more »
I’ve had quite a few folks ask me how things are going now that it’s been a couple months since we added Boots to our family. I am happy to report that for the most part things are going quite well.

I am very happy to report that we have made amazing strides in the past week and we are well on our way to a happy 3 cat household! Boots (the… Read more »
Today I’m doing something a little different. I’m crowdsourcing! As many of your already know over the weekend my husband and I went from a 2 cat household to a 3 cat household. We thought we knew how things could go, but nothing could have been further from the truth. Our eldest cat Hershey, who we expected to be very… Read more »
Today is Black Cat Day! Every day is Black Cat Day at my house because I share my house with two of them- Hershey (14) and Pumpkin (10 and the cover model for this post). But today everyone can participate! Black cats weren’t always considered unlucky. The ancient Egyptians worshiped all cats but held black cats in special regard. Ancient… Read more »
Black Cat Appreciation Day was created by animal shelters to celebrate the awesome mini-panthers you can share your home with. Partially because of silly superstitions about them being bad luck black cats are the least likely to get adopted and therefore the most likely to get euthanized simply for the color of their coat. I personally live with 2… Read more »
