    The Nine stages of Adopting a Cat

    1) For 10 years you’ve been praying for a homeless kitten to turn up in your backyard. You’ve seen the videos on Facebook and assumed it would happen to you too. Even though your much-pined for orphan kitten never showed up, you’ve decided…. you are ready to become a cat-parent. And that cat shall be…

    Nine Reasons Why Your Cat Loves You

    I’ve said it before and I will say it again, cats love their hoomans. I totally even read about this study which proved that a cat’s brain undergoes some kinda chemical change (a.k.a love) when they see their owners. Don’t ask me for a link to the study to verify my statements, because I can’t…

    9 Reasons Why You Need a Cat in Your Life

    Cats are without a doubt the most enigmatic creatures on the planet. Somehow, these fluffy little monsters worm their way into our cold, little hearts and make us adore them, feed them and play with them – all day long.

    The other week I posted a rallying cry when I heard that the cats over at Purrfect Match Cat Adoptions were about to lose their home and did not have the funds to find a new one (with 28 days on the clock!!) As many of you may know, Purrfect Match is the Shelter that…

    The Magic of Pets

    When my cat died on March 20th, I stopped blogging entirely. The only reason you’ll see I posted blogs on that particular date (and after) is because I always schedule my blogs about 1-2 weeks ahead. I would like to let you all know that I have been reading every single comment left on this…

    Help Save Purrfect Match Cat Adoptions

    Hi everyone! I recently came across Purrfect Match Cat Adoptions, a charity in NSW Australia that is under terrible distress.

    The Cat Behind The Cat’s Write

    My little munchkin, Sven, passed away last week on March 20 after he was hit by a car. He was only two years old. I could go on and on about how guilty I feel that he got out of the house that day and I forgot about him, but I can’t do that to myself.…
