Recommended daily dose
There are various things you need to thrive each day. You can get your riboflavin and selenium and calcium from Centrum. But for a certain vital element, you’re going to have to come to Tabby’s Place.
Child of the promise
We’re all a little extra-zingy right now. This is the time of year in which perfectly sane people display 10,000 individual sparkly icicles and blown-glass pickles and 18′ tall Harley-riding Santas at their homes. This is the season when prudent, placid people do dangerous things like drink egg nog of unknown origin and sing threatening […]
Forever loved: Nuttin’
For once, I will keep my mouth/keyboard shut, as nothing I could say would add to the perfect tribute below. Thanks to all who have been praying for our old battle ax in his final days. The following was penned by Jonathan, for Nuttin‘s faithful sponsors.
The bright future of love
Plenty of kids love cats. They love them and squeeze them and mush them and sometimes scare them. But it’s the rare and precious mini-human who loves cats way down to his depths. Rare and precious, clearly, is Jacob.
Guest post: Soul-eating sweetness
It’s not often I receive an email containing the words “I want to eat your soul.” Fortunately, this message was not from an online dating site; it was from Tabby’s Place alumna Chickadee.

You could have laughed. You could have called us Northeastern weenies unable to deal with a little apocalyptic storm. But you didn’t.
Gratitudey guest post #1: Chopped
Ask, and you shall receive. I was so bold as to beseech you for guest blog posts, and you delivered. Oh, mercy, did you deliver. Being Team Tabby’s Place, you delivered with guts and glory and Hollywood-blockbuster excitement. And then you threw in a line about “19 pounds of angry fat” just as a gift […]
Untragedy
You have to tread carefully when you start naming cats after Shakespearean characters. One minute, you’ve got Puck and Touchstone and Sir Toby Belch and all is comedic happiness. But venture off into King Lear or Macbeth territory, and next thing you know, some English major will scream, “Why would you name cats after people […]
Guest post: Bobble blast
Many long years ago, there was a movie about a bunch of old toys. They were eagerly awaiting Christmas, and warmly welcomed the new toys when it came. The movie concluded with all the toys embracing and singing a song with lyrics like “Old friends, new friends, friends who are more awesome than sparkles…” (Something […]
