Slow and steady, the old turntable waltzed. Her favorite chanteuse sang “Little Things Mean a Lot.” She never wanted diamonds or pearls. She liked it when he blew her a kiss or touched her hair. Little things meant a lot— a walk in a park, a love song at night, a glass of California wine. […]

For Kate Rachael Z. Ikins (c) 2014 Your hair smells like gin. Crisp, of-the-forest, cold. You spent a day hoarding sunlight, posing on one windowsill after another. Washing yourself of winter. You followed the light east to west. By evening you’d soaked so many rays, you were gravid with heat, gold, and that juniper scent. […]
We all know life for some kitties is difficult, some are born homeless, others were thrown into it by previous owners and then there’s some that have run away and became homeless. When my mums moved into the house they are in they, realised there was a few homeless kitties around! As they have been […]

While most cats would leap at the chance to swipe a piece of unattended chicken, moggy Stan, 15, was caught tucking into pizzas, spaghetti […]
We all love treating our cats like babies, don’t we? Don’t deny it! And who can blame us? They are super cute, clumsy and cuddly just like little babies. No matter how much you compare your cat to a human infant, your fluffy friend is still, well a CAT! You need to treat it like […]
Post by Stephanie Musarra Dr. Cat: Episode 5″ “Dr. Cat, why are you wearing a white coat?Where did all those certificates come from? Are those new?” I became confused.

When Marc asked me if I would like to review a new type of cat litter tray I jumped at the chance! The reason for this is that I spend my life with my nose in litter trays, not as an odd fettish, but being a Cat Behaviourist it kind of goes with the territory. […]
