Remembering Ruby: Two Years Ago Today

It’s hard to believe that today marks the second anniversary of the day I had to let Ruby go. I have shared memories of her with you over the past two years, and I will keep sharing them, but today is a day for Allegra and me to remember her privately.

So instead of words, I leave you with a gallery of random photos of my precious girl to remember her bright, sparkling spirit.

September 7, 2010 – December 18, 2019

Mews and Nips will return after the holidays.

Cats often get a bad reputation with regards to birds. A few years ago, I wrote Faulty Science Spread Lies About Cats and Their Impact on Wildlife, and even though the post is old, the information is still relevant. But there is a way for birds to not only coexist peacefully with cats, they can also provide stimulating entertainment for indoor cats, and the best part: nobody gets hurt.

Remember Your Cat With a Memorial Diamond

Losing a beloved cat is devastating. While there are commonalities in how we mourn, grief is a very individual experience, and no two people will deal with loss in exactly the same way. But there are some things that can help ease the pain of loss. Finding ways to memorialize a cat who has passed on can be an important part of the healing process.

From photo tributes to planting a tree to having a portrait painted to creating a special memorial space in you...

Review: Live Odor Free!® Odor Eliminator

Urine odors aren’t much of a problem for us. I scoop the box pretty much right after Allegra uses it, and she’s never once missed the box. I was still interested when Live Odor Free!® approached me about featuring their products, because I’m always looking for safe, non-toxic and fragrance-free household cleaners to share with you. Live Odor Free!® checks all those boxes.

2021 AAFP Feline Senior Care Guidelines, Part 1: Caring for Aging Cats Begins At Home

Guest post by Ingrid R. Niesman, MS PhD

The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) is recognizing these dramatic changes since they last published senior care guidelines in 2009. The 2021 AAFP Senior Cat Care Guidelines, created by a task force of...

Mews and Nips: The Inner Lives of Cats

A Guardian journalist and mom of three-year-old Larry and six-month old Kedi set out to gain a deeper understanding of what makes her cats happy. She consulted with various experts, and wrote an article titled The inner lives of cats: what our feline friends really think about hugs, happiness and humans. “Over the course of the week it takes me to research and write this article, I become obsessed – even more than before – with the happiness and wellbeing of my charges,” she wrote. I encourage...
