It's been said that people that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life.

How to Stop Litter Box Problems
The most common reason why cats wind up sitting in a cage at an animal shelter is that they refuse to use the litter box. Cat urine has a very strong odor, and getting it out of fabric or even removing the smell entirely from hard surfaces can be difficult. And, cats have been known not only to defecate behind furniture to hide the deed but also often in the worst places possible, such as your bed.

Home is Where We Are
I have always been a cat person. I've also always identified and presented as a woman in the United States, which, as many of us know, comes with an abundance of double edged swords waiting to slice and dice us to our absolute limit. A few of those swords about what a 30 something woman's home should be kept me from embracing all the splendors of a cat lady life until, to paraphrase Shakespeare, I had greatness thrust upon me.

Best Company Ever!
Before we knew it, 2 years had flown by since we lost our two 18 year old cats. They were, and still are in our hearts & minds, family. The temptation to get another one was huge, but there was a part of us that actually wanted to feel the loss. Well, wanted isn’t exactly correct, but it kind of is, too. Almost like grieving for them really proved how much they meant to us. So we didn’t (get another one) and we did (feel the loss rather keenly).

Alright, I'll start from the beginning, since that's usually where you should start from. I hadn't owned a cat since I was 19 or 20. I had no intentions of having one any time soon either, however, Fate or whatever had other ideas.

Callisto the Cat
Cats are assholes. They really are. I never wanted a cat and that was something I was absolutely adamant about. I was a dog person and no mistake. Nose boops, tricks, walkies in the park. Yes to all of those things. But cats. No. Litter trays, claws and hissing - and let's face it, there was always plenty of hissing if my granny's cat Mr Brown was anything to go by. And then I met, well, more like I was ambushed by, a small bundle of cheek and sass that came to be known as Callisto.

Why Do Cats Knead?
Kneading is a repeated, rhythmic motion during which cats force their paws into and out of a soft surface, switching between paws. Cats enjoy kneading on soft surfaces like sheets, pillows, soft carpeting, a person's lap, or a sofa. No one can describe exactly why cats knead their human family members, but there are some convincing theories available.

"Hey, do you want a blind cat?" I looked up from getting the mail. There stood a man, who currently did not have a home, who found a stray kitten in another homeless person's belongings. Both men shared a goal: to save the little one's life.

Things Nobody Ever Tells You About Having A Cat
We all know that cats are extremely popular. We also know that even in ancient Egypt, they were regarded as sacred creatures. But those who have had cats, or have owned one in the past, can tell you first hand that it ain't no picnic, and it's really not for the weak.

Better for a Queen Than a Wine Bottle
My grandmother can do it all. She knits, she crochets, she even makes unbelievably complicated amigurumi. She's been making scarves, hats, and gloves for everyone in the family going back as far as I can remember.

Plumette the Office Cat
I rather enjoy the simple fact that things always happen for a reason. It’s not a completely spiritual idea (although it does have a part to play in it) but rather my view of life in general. I’m a writer and have been for as long as I can remember, so when I think about life’s events, I can’t help but to think about literary elements that occur in a story. Things happen to teach us things, to create our character, or to simply move life along.
