The black-and-white cat of many colors
If the world were black and white, Luke would have camouflage. He would blend into the background. He would be unseen, unknown. But the world is not black and white.
Creative flight
There are two truths no casual observer will catch. One: Cats are proof that our universe is governed by love. Two: Every living creature is creative. Even you. Even Pegasus.
The best fiesta
No. It’s too tempting. I am strong enough to resist. I am not going to write about Cinco de Meow. I am not going to write about Cinco de Meow. I am not going to … unless Juel asks me to.
Tabby’s Place: The Next Generation
Saving cats calls for courage. We do not give up on any life. We love with all our strength. But sometimes, we get very sad and very tired. We feel tiny. At times like this, we need someone “little” to remind us why we’re here.

Forever Loved: Lola
When you love like Lola loved, you are larger than life. When you live like Lola lived, you don’t leave anyone feeling small. But when you leave us, we can’t imagine life without you.
