Guest post by Siena Lee-Tajiri

So much can happen in 7 days. After our offer was declined on the first house we saw, our offer on the second house we saw was accepted!

“All this” (what we currently hope and dream) or “greater yet still” (the better dream that Spirit has for us). If you missed l...

Mews and Nips: Video Shows Cat Sensing Earthquake Before it Happened

We’ve all heard stories of animals sensing earthquakes long before the first tremors are felt by humans. A Melbourne, Victoria woman happened to be taking video of her cat playing with a toy moments before an earthquake struck.

A Tender Passing: In-Home Euthanasia Provides Comfort and Peace

Making a decision about whether it’s time to let a beloved cat go is one of the hardest things any cat parent will have to go through. The fact that most cats get so stressed when having to go to the vet clinic makes the decision even harder. Having the euthanasia performed in the comfort of your home can make saying goodbye a more peaceful experience for both cat and human.

When I first published Buckley’s Story: Lessons from a Feline Master Teacher thirteen years ago, I heard from so many re...
