It has come to my attention that a certain nectarine-hued feline does not appreciate her disappearance from the spotlight following her best friend’s passing. So, it is my pleasure to turn that light back to our favorite flame-point diva, the one, the only…Peachy.
Na, na-na-na-na, Na-na-na, Na-na-na, Na-na-na, Na-na-na-na! No, I haven’t lost my mind (or, to be more accurate, I haven’t just now lost my mind) – it’s just that all the crazy adoption hearts on our white board have me singing and dancing.
Hear ye, hear ye: Petfinder.com has dubbed today (August 12th) Adopt-a-Less-Adoptable-Pet Day. If you ask us at Tabby’s Place, nobody’s unadoptable, and every day is adoption day. Nevertheless, I love that Petfinder is shining the spotlight on the underdogs (and, especially, undercats) today.

When it comes to questions fielded at Tabby’s Place, right up there with “don’t the cats fight?” and “how do you not adopt them all yourselves?” is this one: “Where do you come up with all of those names?” Ah, there are as many answers to that question as there are quirks among the Tabby’s […]
In case the written word doesn’t quite capture my tone, my use of the word unadoptable is entirely ironic. Except for the fact that, so far, it’s been weirdly accurate for one of the most outrageously “adoptable” kittens I’ve ever seen.
It’s always hard to lose a furry loved one. But some losses are harder than others and tend to haunt one forever. I think poor little Marlee may be one of those, even thought she was only with us for a week.
Cats & rats go together like, well, soup and salad (rats playing the role of both courses :-). Cats have been prized as rat-catchers on farms for many centuries.
