Beautiful Zoey and her children – Mia, Rolz, Peanut, and Zeuss. We’re privileged to have all of them still with us except Zeuss. Zeuss is blessed with a wonderful forever home in Boston.

We know a holiday like Mother’s Day can be complicated, as it has different meanings and memories for everyone. To keep it simple, on behalf of my beautiful kitty mama, Zoey, and her lovely furbabies – Mia, Peanut, Rolz, and Zeuss – may today be filled with as much peace and joy as possible.

On another note, if you haven’t sent any strange, weird, or funny habits or behaviors your cat has for my upcoming book project, you still have time – the submission deadline is Sunday, May 22. And don’t forget, it doesn’t necessarily have to be weird cat habits or behaviors – it could be the weird habits YOU have as a result of loving cats so much!! If you’re anything like me, I know you have them!!

For further information on submission details and examples of what I am looking for, please visit the following post, Got Cat Weird? Open Submissions for Upcoming Zee/Zoey Publication!

Thank you again – far too many people think cats are too standoffish and aloof to make great pets. I want to change that perception with this book. Sure, some cats can be quiet, or aloof, or independent, but they can also be funny, silly, quirky, charming, and so much more. Just like people, they come in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and personalities and we should love them for their uniqueness! They make incredible, loving companions and we want more of them to be adopted in forever homes!!

Regardless of whether it’s National Pet Week, or National Pet Month, the love and commitment to a pet is for a lifetime.

As a pet mom over the years to a variety of lovable creatures – cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, and frogs to be more precise – I can tell you firsthand the joy pets bring to our lives. With this being National Pet Week and National Pet Month, I hope the message is spread to a wider audience so that adoptable pets in need find good, safe, and loving homes. Read more

Look at the world though the wonderment of a cat’s perspective. It’s an awe-inspiring beautiful place that we should be thankful for each and every day.

Our earth is a beautiful entity that sustains our very being – it’s a precious gift to live in such an incredible world and I feel the same about cats that grace this earth – they are a precious gift that bring joy, love, and companionship into our lives. So for Earth Day, I thought it would be appropriate to share some ways that we can recycle stuff to make practical things for not just our own cats, but cats in shelters that could use our love and support.  Read more

The afghan was nearly completed here – just waiting to add the fringe. Jazmine can purr-sonally attest that the yarn is ideal for making biscuits!

If you’ll recall, I made the hair-brained decision to crochet an afghan a few days before Christmas as a gift for my youngest son. I got the idea because he lives up North in snow country and I knew it would be the perfect gift to keep him warm during the frigid winter months. Since he also has a cat, I knew she would love the gift too. It was supposed to be a “quick and easy” pattern (6 hours or less from start to finish), but the directions I found online were horribly written and it ended up being a day’s long project with me worrying that I would not finish it in time.

Me with Janiss at last year’s BlogPaws Conference. She was promoting her Rescued book and I was promoting Purr Prints of the Heart – who knew a year later there would be a connection?

Rescued. When it comes to my cats, regardless of how they came into my life, each of them has captured my heart and rescued my personal well-being at one time or another when I needed it most. So when Janiss Garza (Summer/Sparkle Cat) put out a query looking for stories for Volume 2 of her popular Rescued series, I decided to submit a proposal. Read more
