While this popular shirt that Jackson Galaxy is wearing might be trendy, the fact that men love cats is nothing new to me.

I don’t like to use the word, trend, because it implies something elusive that is happening at the moment, with an expiration date just waiting for the next fad to replace it. So, to some, the increase of the male presence in the cat world might seem like a trend, but I believe in fact, that men have been involved in the care and loving of cats far longer than mainstream ideology would tell and that we are just becoming more aware of it now. I do not believe that one day we will wake up to find people such as Jackson Galaxy of My Cat From Hell, Kent Butler of Catnip Chronicles, Terry Frum of Brian’s Home, Kevin Hattori of Animal Shelter Volunteer Life, multi-award winning pet expert, Steve Dale, and Peter Wolf of Vox Felina finding cats to no longer be relevant or integral to their lives.

Another man with a strong passion and caring for cats is a dear friend of mine, Michael Ostrofsky of Five Pet Place. I had met Michael early in the year via social networking when we were trying to save the Loews outdoor cats residing on the Universal hotel properties in Orlando and I met him in person at BlogPaws. A man with boundless energy, talent, and vision, he created Five Pet Place to provide cat guardians a line of high-quality and exquisitely designed cat products such as scratching posts, window beds, and water/food servers. But, more than that, he understands the spiritual connection we have with our beloved feline companions.   Read more

Well, despite the fact that I am totally exhausted and it is the day before we announce the Official Cat Ruler of the World, Zee and Zoey have done it again – they have confirmed a Red Carpet Cat Twitter Party date with Gracey the Tiniest Tiger for the upcoming Emmy’s and it will be held this Wednesday the  19th from  5:30-7:00 pm, PST. Hardly enough time to even buy a new leopard outfit… Read more

By now, you all know that Zee and Zoey have a HUGE announcement that will take place on Tuesday, August 21st. I guess it involves some cat stuff, some other cats, and the entire world. That’s all I know. Anyhow, with all of that going on, you can only imagine the whirlwind of activity and preparations going on here at the house with Zee and Zoey. In an exclusive sneak peek that you will only find here, to follow is a behind the scenes reveal of them preparing for Tuesday’s big event… Read more

Well, after a week long mystery, the cat is finally out of the bag. Zee and Zoey have come clean and admitted that something is up, and that it’s billboard worthy BIG! They still say they didn’t order all the cat stuff, well, except for the sunglasses, and that all the boxes are part of a master plan they have in mind. Basically, they are tired of a few things going on in this world and felt the need to step up and make some changes…

They can’t say anything just yet, but apparently cat loving humans have been sending them these boxes as part of the whole clandestine operation and they did not want to tell me about it until they were sure their mission could be successfully pulled off. I guess it involves some stuff, some other cats,  and the whole world. That’s all they would tell me. That, and oh yeah, they also told me they will  offically unveil the plans to the world this coming Tuesday, August 21st. This explains all the whispering behind my back that has been going on between the two of them and I highly suggest you set your alarms, mark your calendars, and take the day off from work. This sounds like something that has to be seen to be believed!

Wow… when I wondered yesterday what magic, trickery, and games Zee and Zoey had up their paws to help me with all the mystery cat stuff that had been shipped to my house, I had no idea they were up to real magic, trickery, and games. I can’t even begin to understand what is going on with these crafty kitties, or how or why they have conjured up what looks like other cats. And not just other cats, I somehow get the nagging feeling that I know who these cats are, but I just can’t place them in my cluttered and tired mind at the moment… Read more
