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).

All she wants is snuggle up with someone she loves and purr. I don’t think it’s possible to be stressed when you have that… Read more »
I woke up this (Saturday) morning earlier than I wanted to because I had to take my car in for service at 8AM. As the alarm went off I thought all kinds of unpleasant things. But then my cat Pumpkin jumped up onto me, curled up, and started purring like she didn’t have a care in a world. As I… Read more »
What do cat hair and corn have in common? I seem to be surrounded by them at all times. I share my home with my husband and 2 black cats. One of these cats loves me and the other hates me but that’s a story for another day. They seem to shed all year round (the cats that is) and… Read more »
