blue-eyed cat in cat tree with text overlay: What I did on my summer vacation

Hi friends and furiends. We’ve been away so long, mom says she has practically forgotten how to blog! This post is to catch you up on what I did on my summer vacation. Or maybe more accurately, what I didn’t do on my summer vacation! The only problem is that is was a very long vacation extending beyond summer. Mom’s promise and mine is that we’ll try to do better in 2021. We want to focus on the positive, happy stuff and not stress over current events. That’s why mom and I started this blog in the first place when she was recovering from being ill and needed something lighthearted to write about.

Hi friends. I know it has been a long time since I posted and now I’m coming to you with some sad news. My fur sibling, Echo, went to the vet hospital on Thursday and won’t be coming home. Although we weren’t best friends like he and Ocean were, he was almost always sweet to me. I’m going to let mom take over now to tell you more about him and what happened. Please join us in celebrating and remembering Echo.

A Recap of our Move from California to Texas

Can you believe it has been just over a year since I last posted here on my blog? A lot has happened during those 12 months and I hope you have seen some of my updates on social media about our move from California to Texas. In case you are new here, don’t follow me on social media or missed my posts there, here’s a recap.

Travel Prep for our Move from California to Texas

Last year, I left off telling you about how we were getting ready to take off on an adventure in a travel trailer. Mom was taking her time letting us get used to it and Echo hadn’t even been out in it yet. Well, mom’s apprehension about how scared … Continue reading →

Two Cats in a Travel Trailer — Preparing for Adventure

Echo, Ocean and I are soon to be three cats in a travel trailer. We will be embarking on a long road trip the end of September. Follow along to see how we enjoy the adventure.

Hi furiends. It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update and I finally convinced mom to take a few minutes. If you are on my mailing list and read my last newsletter, you know what has been keeping mom so busy. We are moving again and our house is a disaster! Mom seems to be going off in so many directions and nothing is getting completed. Stuff is everywhere! Is that the way humans normally work? Fortunately, she hasn’t messed with my favorite place to hang out — my stroller.

Not only are we moving but I think mom is going through a crisis. She says she is just fulfilling a lifelong … Continue reading →

The Secret is Out: Why My Weight Loss Diet Didn’t Work

Did you know that the secret to weight loss for kitties is the same as for humans? Read on to find out why my cat diet for weight loss didn't work.

I have a funny story to tell you. It’s been a secret but I guess it won’t be after I tell you about it.

If you’ve ever met me or really looked at some of my photos, you know I’m not the most svelte kitty out there. I’ve never had the slim waist like my brofurs Echo and Ocean. This is evident even in this photo from the BlogPaws conference in Phoenix in 2016 when I weighed about 11 fluffy pounds.

BlogPaws Conference, Phoenix, AZ, 2016 - Why my cat diet for weight loss didn't work

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a napping kind of kitty. If I were a human, I guess you’d call me a couch potato.

Traveling with Cats

Whether you are a seasoned veteran traveler or getting ready to head out on your first trip, I bet you’ll find lots of useful information on traveling with cats in these posts from some of my best pals. Oh, and there’s even a post written by mom for her Savvy Pet Care blog. It stars me, of course!

Planning – Before You Go

Every successful trip starts with a great plan. This is especially important when traveling with cats. Rules are different for us than for humans. Here are things to take care of before you go.

BlogPaws and Spring are Inspiring Us to Get Outdoors

Between spring being on the verge of happening and the BlogPaws Conference coming up next week, mom has gotten a bee in her bonnet. Check out the post to see what she's up to.

OMC! I bet you can’t believe I’m posting but I just had to tell you some things.

Between spring being on the verge of happening and the BlogPaws Conference coming up next week, mom has gotten a bee in her bonnet. She says that even though we aren’t going to BlogPaws this year, it is inspiring her. She has gotten out all my harnesses and made me start wearing them. I got really used to wearing one when I got to go to BlogPaws in 2016. I haven’t worn one in a while so they feel a little strange. I was slinking a little at first but lots of treats helped me get over that pretty quickly!

I wonder when I’ll get to go out in the yard on a leash. That dog that hates cats still lives next door and mom is a little concerned about … Continue reading →

Wallace is a Girl — Must Take Selfies

Mom and Wallace take a selfe together

Hey, hey, hey! Look who’s here! It has been so quiet around here for us kitties. Mom has been really busy taking care of other pets, running around “doing research” for her other blog and just generally neglecting us. She hardly ever has time to nap with me in the comfy chair and I really miss that. Maybe with colder weather coming we can snuggle more. Sometimes, I resort to loving on her while she is working at the computer.

Speaking of colder weather, today was a strange day. Mom told me the weatherman said it was going to rain but it was so sunny and beautiful this morning. I laid on the back of the couch in a wonderful sun puddle and soaked it all in just in case the weatherman was right. Sure enough, about one in the afternoon it was like mom turned the lights … Continue reading →
