“Don’t they fight?”
Most common question heard at Tabby’s Place: “How do you resist adopting all the kitties?” (Answer: it’s not easy.) Second most common question: “Don’t they fight?” Answer: Yes…but less than you might think.
Grady in Glory
I don’t want to write this blog post. I don’t want to have a reason to write this post. I’m not ready for that reason, and don’t expect I would have been ready next week, or next month, or next year. But Grady was ready this morning. Our love, our Grady-bug, the snuggle bunny of […]
Grab a can opener and a spoon…
…because Brock University in Ontario proudly announced that they’ve successfully refined a methodology “to allow for a human taste panel to profile the flavour and texture of a range of cat food products (CFP) and their component parts. ” Mmm mmm good. I wonder what “successfully” means here?
Ella: uncovered at last
It’s a blanket! It’s a cat bed! It’s…Ella? The tiny tortie who loves the subterranean (or at least sub-blanket) life has been uncovered at last, and forever.

Eight belles
With all apologies to the second-place Kentucky Derby filly, eight belles is just the right way to describe our new octet of West Virginia cats. In addition to being veritable Southern belles, these eight ladies just so happen to be among the loveliest cats to have ever graced our suites. One of the biggest wonders […]
The Spice and the Duck
Breaking news from Tabby’s Place: two of our most recent alumni have decided to pick up where the Spice Girls left off, and start their own, two-cat pop band: the Spice Ducks. If Anise (The Spice) and Drake (The Duck) have their way, they will be an international sensation before the end of the summer. […]
Grady vs. the fungus among us: Grady 1, fungus 0
After whupping lung cancer and winning the heart (okay, the tolerance) of the formerly cat-hating Peachy, our Grady found himself in need of a new challenge. “Fortunately”, a new nemesis was just around the corner… Ringworm. (Cue villain music here.)
Ordering a la carte: Value Meal update
When my Mom is in the mood for fast food, she famously orders a Quarter Pounder. Just a Quarter Pounder. Not a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, not a Double Quarter Pounder, and – brace yourselves – no fries with that. Similarly, in the last couple of weeks, all of the Value Meal kittens have been ordered […]
