Around October 2014, my husband and I adopted an adorable gray and white kitten we named Arya. Around the same time, I started working from home as a writer. Sure, my timing could have been better. It’s not easy to stay focused with a cute kitten running around. But it’s not impossible. After two years […]
Hi everyone, Today we are back with another quick look at Valerian toys made by 4Cats. Valerian root is a great alternative for us cats as it works similar to catnip but is so much more benefical for us. 😀 Nubia: If I hide my gingerbread man underneath me do you think Oliver will forget […]
With ten cats in the house, I should have plenty of opportunities to photograph them, but sadly that isn’t always the case. Only two rooms face south and get enough natural light for my taste, but then I’m stuck with the other problems of harsh sun and strong shadows. Very rarely do we get what […]

I was a college student when I met him. We were in sage country, near the town of Moses Lake. My Mom and I went on a walk one sunny afternoon, at a wilderness area. It was a beautiful day. The red-winged blackbirds were warbling in the cattails surrounding a little stream. We’d eaten at […]
So, unexpectedly and even having many other toys to choose from, Vitali’s favorite thing is a feather… I guess these felines have their personal way to choose what is the best toy! And what about your cats? Which one is their favorite toy? It’s the classic fake mouse, a feather, or a completely unusual one? […]

Who says that plants and cats can’t go well together? If you love cats and gardening, then worry no more, because you can have them both.

She came to us just before Christmas last year and I kept my word for all of eight months. Then I spotted a nearly blind kitten at a wonderful rescue in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The rescuers rent a property where they […]
The Second Prize for the ProtectaPet 2016 Pet Pics Competition went to a rather unconventional entry because Pickles himself is a free-roaming tabby cat. Nevertheless, the photographs of him using our cat mesh as a hammock and watch-point to spy on his unsuspecting neighbours made us all chuckle. Today we speak to Jenny, owner of […]

Owning a pet is a very rewarding experience but it is also a lifelong financial responsibility. Many pets become ill or are injured and there is no National Health Service them, so an emergency visit to a veterinary practice with a sick or injured pet could be quite expensive and for this reason vets and nurses recommend […]
Antifreeze presents deadly risks to pets and just the smallest amount can cause kidneys to fail and lead to the untimely demise of our feline friends.
