Wally’s wonderfulness
It might appear that Tabby’s Place is the best thing that ever happened to Wally. But really, Wally is the best thing that ever happened to Wally. Now we just need to convince Wally.
Correcting our Graham-mar
It was just a funny little typo on our staff message board: “I recreated Graham.” She didn’t. She couldn’t. Even if she could, she wouldn’t. But it was the type of typo that reminds us what type of critters we are.
The (knick) knack of devotion
The long haul is no small thing. It’s the same old face you loved yesterday, too familiar to be boring. It’s the umpteenth ordinary breakfast, silent except for the symphony of whiskers and kibble. It’s Trinket and Tchotchke, cats named for knick-knacks, who have the knack for marathons.
When did Nigel get so friendly?
There are changes that happen so slowly, you don’t notice them until the happening has happened. Maybe you look in the mirror and see your father at age thirty-seven, which is perplexing, since you were under the impression he was still thirty-seven, and you were still eight.

After five thousand cats, you might think we have run out of “firsts.” But remember: we are dealing with a species of icons and originals. A cat is not “number five” or “number five thousand.” Just take it from the boy who is a value meal unto himself.
Forever Loved: Jimmy
Meeting your best friend is like coming home from a lonesome journey. Your eyes meet, in that unmistakable look of recognition: there you are! It is a magical time. You swap secrets and stories. You are safe and silly together. At last, you are home. We just never imagined Jimmy would have to leave again so […]
If you can stomach it
Panthera is a promise. You can have a soulmate as steadfast as life, filling your lap like the breath fills your lungs. You can have your most fun friend since elementary school, the feline equivalent of recess, applesauce, and giggles during nap time. You can have “nap time” anytime, on your own schedule, just the […]
