So basically, it took me years before I got to the point where I was okay with the taste of coffee - let alone to the point where I was happy drinking it every morning. I've not been drinking coffee every morning for very long - maybe a year? My husband has a really adorable anchor & blue stripe, naval-themed mug that he uses for his coffee in …
The Unspoken Suffering of Cat Owners Everywhere
Cat-owned humans don't often speak out about their suffering. It's not all rainbows and butterflies, you know, being a member of a cat's staff I mean. There's plenty of untold suffering going on from the end of cat owners everywhere. We've been trained by our superiors to pretty much ignore as much of the suffering as physically possible, to grit …
Bored Kitty? Hands-Off Ways to Keep an Indoor Cat Entertained
Cats aren't always the easiest pets to keep entertained. Yes, some kitties are remarkable in their ability to cure themselves of boredom; my mum's cat, for instance, will even go so far as to choose a toy out of a basket, pull it out himself, then play with it for some time with no human intervention necessary.

Sure, he still loves nibbling on it, and even appreciates the smell, but those adorable after-effects so many cats have to catnip - not my kitty. Unfortunately for me, this means he's pretty unphased by a good catnip toy - no …
My Cat Likes Lettuce! Can Cats Eat Lettuce? Is It Safe to Feed to Cats?

For Being Here Through Thick & Thin – Thank You Kitty
For days I woke up a little blue, and days that stared out great, but where something went wrong and ended up rocky. Nothing more comforting than some quality time with you.
