What it’s like with a Ragdoll

It’s roughly been three months since we’ve welcomed  Cotton to our home and I want to share with everyone what that time has been like. Living with a ragdoll has been nothing short of amazing.

Donner’s Nocturnal (Mis)Adventure

Donner’s Nocturnal (Mis)Adventure Some cats really love to explore the area around where they live and often bring back little souvenirs for their owners.

Purrsday Poetry: My Cats’ Chorus by Stephen Howarth

My Cats’ Chorus… Feed me fish and feed me meat, All my plate fulfil — You have made my meals complete, And you always will. Stroke me gently, feel my fur, Please don’t go away. You hear my love when you hear my purr — I will never stray. See my tail up,feel me knead, […]

Why don’t you come on over, Valerian?

My cats’ choice of mind-altering substances: catnip – definitely silver vine – not bad valerian – wowwwwww-w-w-w-w … Valerian? Nope, it isn’t a planet in Star Trek, but a plant. It often gets added to herbal teas to help insomniacs nod off and, it seems, is irresistible to cats. Just before Christmas I won a […]

Purrsday Poetry: Your Friday Art Cat is Poetic

Drawing of a tiger and a tabby cat.

A bundle of grace and fur, a cat makes the purrfect subject for many a poem. I’ve often been interested how writers depict cats of all sizes. William Blake’s Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright, or, The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear are two of my favorites because they capture the feline essence both physically, and symbolically. A page from my sketchbook where I […]

The Best Cat Cafes in Osaka

Osaka is a lot like Tokyo in terms of fast-paced excitement, however it’s got a little something extra.  A little bit more raucous and edgy, Osaka is known to be the loudest city in Japan, which on a spectrum, is nowhere near deafening or vulgar, but stands out in this ultra-conservative country. I found this to […]
