Cats Make the Heart Grow!

Yesterday, June 21 marked the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day and shortest night of the year, and the official start of summer. Along with my love of cats, I love summer gardening, so I took to the drawing board to create a sweet and whimsical tee that celebrates both!

Available in cool colors for summer – white, gray, pink, and blue – this comfy shirt comes in a classic ladies’ fit, a slim ladies’ fit, or unisex sizes for kids.

Happy Father’s Day!

Today we celebrate all fathers—whether they’re dads to children, cat dads, dog dads, or caregivers to any beloved creatures who depend on their love and care.

This Father’s Day, I’m also remembering our beloved Zee, shown here with each of his kittens—Peanut, Mia, and Rolz (and Zeuss Catt in spirit, who now lives in Boston). Though he’s no longer with us, his love and legacy live on through the family he left behind.

Wishing all fathers, both human and furry, a day filled with love and perhaps a few extra purrs.

Casual kitties – Zee (angel), Shadow, Jazmine, Kizmet, Rolz, and Harley (angel)

Considering I’ve been working almost exclusively remotely since 2019 with a wardrobe that consists primarily of cat-themed sweats, I’m hardly one to judge casual. Even so, I think for this Friday, these cats knocked it out of the park, and then some!

How about you guys? What does your casual Friday outfit consist of? And do you have any cats like mine, who take the concept of casual to extremes?

I rarely travel anymore, but it was my niece’s wedding shower, and I didn’t want to miss such a special day. It was a whirlwind trip: arrive in Tampa on Friday evening and head back home to Fort Lauderdale on Sunday morning. Even though it was short, and even though Dan is perfectly capable of managing our six cats, I never feel quite right leaving them. Nothing beats the routine of a mom who knows every single quirk, idiosyncrasy, and “do this, don’t do that, give this one this, and that one that” like the back of her hand. Read more

The beautiful Zoey

Today would have been Zoey’s 18th birthday. I last held her in my arms on the evening of November 19, 2025, when I helped her cross over on her heavenly journey.

I wish I could have prepared a lovely tribute to her, but my heart cannot bear the pain. My precious soul kitty, I miss her so terribly. A beautiful bag sits in the guest room where I last held her, with a few clippings of her soft, silky fur. I have enormous difficulty going into that room. Writing this has made me realize how much unresolved grief I am carrying, as if part of me is still in denial, as though it never really happened.

Her ashes sit in the living room, where she rests with her beloved Zee and companions, Harley and Jazz. Maybe one day I can share posts with glorious memories. Right now, I just want to quietly honor her birthday and the thoughts of her that are forever etched in my heart.

Happy birthday, my beautiful girl. I miss you so very much.
