The world is more than a bit mad – that’s why I’m so grateful for my cats because they always inspire a sense of calm in the storm for me.

March Madness – that crazy time of year for the annual NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association)   college basketball tournament. I don’t watch basketball, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our own brand of crazy madness around the house – just with kitties instead of basketball players. Check out these pictures to see what I mean. Read more

Well, as per the usual tradition of Groundhogs Day on February 2nd,  Phil the Groundhog from Punxsutawney, PA is supposed to emerge from his burrow to predict whether or not we will  have an early spring or if  winter will stretch on until mid-March. The answer is based on hard, scientific evidence, i.e., whether or not he sees his shadow, and it’s a ritual that has been going on since 1887. The gist of it is simple – if he sees his shadow, we are in store for another 6 weeks of winter, if not, time to put the snow shovels away and break the sandals out!

Well… this is certainly awkward and embarrassing… for Jazmine. Why? Because she and Kizmet have been BFF’s since the moment Jazmine came into our home back in March of 2014. She was about 6 months old when we got her – Dan and I had gone to the Global Pet Expo in Orlando with the intention of meeting people and learning about pet industry trends, but instead came home with a rescue kitten that was not at all on our radar of things to do!!

Kizmet poses wistfully in front of a basket overflowing with cat toys dreaming of his elusive, but favorite toy… the pom pom.

In our house it would be 100% impossible to hide the fact we have cats. Cat condos, baskets and baskets of cat toys, cat beds, cat pillows, cat blankets, cat food dishes – in every room and every where you look, there is something directly related to making sure our cats are well-loved and taken care of.
