Review: Soul Cats: How Our Feline Friends Teach Us to Live from the Heart

This post contains affiliate links*

I’ve been blessed with several soul cats. Each of these special cats changed my life in ways I never could have imagined, from my first cat Feebee, who guided me toward a new career, to Amber, the original conscious cat who inspired this website, to Buckley who inspired my first book, to Ruby, who, more than any other cat I’ve had, taught me to love fully with my whole being, to Allegra, who continues to teach me so many lessons every day. In Soul Cats: How ...

Tuft + Paw Cove Modern Litter Box

The average cat uses the litter box three to five times a day. It would make sense that something that is used so frequently on a daily basis requires that we humans put a lot of thought into it. Unfortunately, cat guardians often select a litter box for all the wrong reasons – or at least for the wrong reasons from the cat’s perspective. Choosing the wrong litter box can have dire consequences for cats: litter box avoidance is one of the main reasons why ma...

Allegra and the Pint of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream

When it comes to ice cream, I don’t think there’s anything better than a pint of Ben & Jerry’s in your favorite flavor to satisfy your craving. I only like ice cream in the summer, and since it was super hot here last weekend, it was time for the first pint of the season. And I’d forgotten just how much Allegra loves Ben & Jerry’s, but not for the reason you might think. But why don’t I Iet her tell you yourself.

Hi everyone, it’s Allegra! The other day, I was fast asleep in a sun puddle, when...

How to Tell If Your Cat is in Pain

Cats are masters at masking pain. While acute pain may be fairly obvious to cat parents, it can be more difficult to discern whether your cat is in pain when it comes to chronic pain from conditions such as arthritis. Sadly, even veterinarians sometimes overlook signs of feline pain, or are not aggressive enough in treating it.

British veterinarian Mike Farrell, BVetMed CertVA CertSAS Diplomat ECVS MRCVS, an orthopedic surgeon with a strong interest in chronic pain management, has done a lot o...

Mews and Nips: Lucky Cat Gets His Own Underwater Mini “Sea World”

Happy Birthday to My Mom

Hi everyone, it’s Allegra! Today is Mom’s birthday, and I’m surprising her with flowers and her favorite cake!

Mom is going to take the day off today and we’re going to hang out together and celebrate, and she’s going out to dinner to her favorite restaurant with a friend. I wish she’d just stay home with me all day, but I know she needs to be with her friends, too, so I’ll just nap while she’s out. And maybe she’ll bring me a special treat from her dinner. Rumor has it that she may have a sea...
