We don’t know how these special days come about, but hugging our cats is something we gladly do each and every day! On behalf of them and all the kitties around the world, a special hug from all of us at Zee and Zoey’s today!

Happy Wednesday all and a special thank you to my Dan for allowing me to use this special picture today. He took it many, many years ago and this beautiful girl is now in her 40’s! I love how precious and innocent she is – the love she has for her cat shines through the black and white of the image. I added the floral background to give the photo a beautiful frame for the sentiment of the photo. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

A poignant reminder that the time we share with our pets is fleeting – love and appreciate them each and every day you are blessed to have with them!

It is Pet Appreciation Week and with the passing of Mr. Jazz last August, even though he was with me for 15 years, I can’t help but be reminded just how brief the time we are given with our pets truly is in the scheme of the time-frame of our human lives. We would like to think they will be with us forever, but the truth is, they won’t and we certainly don’t need a date on a calendar to tell us to appreciate our pets – those of us that have them know unequivocally the love, companionship, devotion, loyalty and joy they bring to us each and every day.

Rather than dwell on it in a sad sense, I decided to celebrate this week in honor of all the pets in my life – both past and present – by sharing some of the many large and small ways I appreciate them with a little help from one of the friends I made at Global Pet Expo a few months ago – West Paw Design – a company who’s entire mindset is based on appreciation, whether it be appreciating pets, people, or our planet.  Read more

Rolz checks out the surroundings… April showers, let alone May flowers have both been scarce in our backyard but as long as he can spot a lizard or two, all is good in his world!

They say April showers bring May flowers, but with June almost upon us, we have not had too much rain to speak of here in South Florida and our backyard does not have as many profuse blooms as we normally have at this time as a result. For the kitties, none of that matters. Going outside is the biggest treat we can give them and that reminded me of the first time we let Jazmine out a couple of months ago to experience her first backyard outdoor adventure. The experience was so similar to the first time we took her best friend buddy, Kizmet, outside for the first time that I thought it would be fun to share a photo montage of what it was like for the both of them for this Caturday’s edition at Zee and Zoey’s. Kizmet’s pictures are from December, 2013 and Jazmine’s are from March, 2014. Read more

While it was very nice to have a three-day weekend, the past several days have been emotionally tiring for me so I am quite happy to have a Wordless Wednesday upon us to share LOTS of great kitty pictures without having to worry about writing too may words! I was browsing through some of my pictures for inspiration and noticed a theme that fascinated me that I thought I would share – the symmetrical artistry that can sometimes happen as a result of having multi-cats hanging out together and the stunning mirror images they provide. These are some of my favorite archive examples and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Happy Wednesday all and have a great day! Read more

Live life like a cat exploring the outdoors… For them, every sense is on high alert and nothing is left unnoticed…

Hello Everyone –

I wish I could be writing from a happier place, but my co-worker’s 35 year old daughter was killed suddenly a few days ago in a car accident and it has left me deeply saddened for her loss.  The death of a loved one is never easy, but in the natural order of life, having a child pass before a parent is just so unbearable and I pray she has the strength to go on. And to make an already unimaginable situation worse, it turns out had she been wearing a seat belt while driving, it probably would have saved her life. Read more
