Japanese Cat House
I’m sure I’m somewhat prejudiced, but I have always thought the furniture we have in our Cat Suites has both form and function. But I ran across this Japanse house that is simply beyond cool.
Welcome Home, Freda
After being on 24-hour watch and intravenous fluids for several days at the emergency hospital, Freda’s attending veterinarians felt she was finally strong enough to be sent home to Tabby’s Place where she was eagerly welcomed by the staff, volunteers, and a very excited me. I couldn’t wait for everyone else to meet this sweet […]
People are Idiots: Goth Cats
If an adult wants to push metal objects through parts of their body (the woman on the left has 720 piercings), that’s fine with me. But, come on, leave the cats alone.

(Cat) Geek is Chic
When I was a kid, the term “geek” was an insult, denoting someone with an unusual or odd personality, and usually the looks to match.

The internet boom changed all that: a hundred million dollars quickly made a geek into […]
