L to R – angel Jazz, Peanut, angel Harley, Zee, Zoey, Kizmet, Jazmine, Mia, and Rolz with the Easter basket!

A blessed Easter to all our dear friends from the Zee and Zoey gang. May your day be filled with peace, joy, and lots of chocolate eggs… just no chocolate for the kitties!

Chocolate is dangerous to cats, along with Easter Lilies and other items we find inside and outside our houses. Click here to learn more about what foods, plants, and items can be dangerous or toxic to cats.

An Easter basket might seem harmless enough, but to a cat it is lurking with dangerous foods and items that could harm them.

With Easter only a few days away many of us will be celebrating the holiday. Many of us will also be gearing up for some spring cleaning as the weather starts to warm up and so it seemed appropriate to share a post on behalf of National Poison Prevention Week (March 20 – 26). We certainly don’t want to think a celebration or some cleaning could harm our kitties, but the truth is, cats are naturally curious and many common items inside and outside of our house can be toxic to them (and dogs and other animals as well). Without knowing what these items are, or what the symptoms can be, it could result in a serious illness or even death to our beloved pet if we don’t react accordingly. Read more

I love my feline gang to pieces, but let’s just say on occasion they can leave the air smelling less than desirable!

Believe it or not, I truly believe my cats think providing me with a nonstop supply of litter gifts to scoop is quite probably the kindest thing they could do for me. Wait – let me clarify – I truly believe my cats think providing me with a nonstop supply of litter gifts to scoop in the litter box, the litter box that is the closest to the vicinity of where I spend most of my time – my office – is the greatest gift they can give me. That’s why when the folks at NOse Offense For PETS reached out to me to review their fragrance-free air & fabric odor neutralizer and eliminator spray product, I pounced at the chance! Read more

I think Jazmine makes the purr-fect red-headed lass for St. Catrick’s Day, don’t you? It’s unlikely she actually has Irish roots, but she’s the kind of cat that’s always ready for a celebration!! Just like all my kitties, she’s been blessed with the luck of a warm, safe, and loving home with everything she could ever want or desire (except possibly more chicken).

In that spirit, I wish you all blessings and purrs today and may the luck of the Irish be with you too!

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
