Some days are really rough. Sometimes rough days turn into rough weeks, and months, sometimes even years. Life gets hectic, people get busy, the situation of the word goes from bad to worse to downright crazy. And during rough times, I feel like I appreciate the little moments I have with my cats even more. The little moments could be as …
Cat Love
I'm maybe a little too obsessed with cats, which is why I ended up starting this blog up to begin with. Here are some of my favourite types of posts to write on this blog - photo roundups, musings over the funny things cats do, and just general gushing over the adorable-ness of kitties.
Winter Seasons Mean Cuddlier Cats in My Household
I don't know what things are like in your home around the winter season, but in my household, it always seems to me that colder weather brings with it the warmth of cuddlier cats. Not only are my cats always cuddlier with me, never wanting to leave my side - they're also cuddlier with each other, which is a super-cute bonus, in my …
Pet Resentment Over Expensive Vet & Pet Care Bills? Why We Should Be Empathetic
I've written on the topic of hating or resenting pets a number of times in the past before, my first article on the topic from back in 2018 quite literally being titled, "I'm Not Happy About It, But I Hate My Cat: What Can I Do?."

How to Get Rid of a Cat You Can’t Keep (In the Most Humane Way Possible)
No one likes to think about or admit it very often, but there are always going to be times where pet parents like, love, and even adore a pet cat, but where that doesn't change the fact that - for some reason or another - there's no real way to make things work in the household in terms of the family keeping the pet. It could be that there's a …
A Letter to My Past Self: Advice to Myself as a First Time Cat Owner
There are quite a lot of things you learn over the years being a pet parent to a whiskered feline. You learn plenty of things about cats themselves (like the fact that they're real lazy), things about yourself (like you find it hard to live with even an hour or two less sleep), and everything in between (such as it being a lot easier to sleep when …
A Cat by Another Name: Other Words, Synonyms, & Metonymies for “Cat”
I can't possibly count how many times, in any given writing session, I interrupt myself to mentally search for a different way to say something. Whether it's a concept, a sentiment, a thought, a sentence - the hunt to find other ways of saying the very same thing, more often than not, feels like a tooth extraction. The sad part is how helpful it …
