Review: Puff Luxury Cat Bed from Tuft + Paw

This post contains affiliate links*

I love seeing more and more cat product companies taking into account that their products do not just have to please cats, they also have to make the human happy. Because let’s face it, if you relegate that ugly piece of cat furniture into a part of your home that you rarely use, chances are your cat isn’t going to use it, either.

Tuft + Paw is taking modern design for cats to a whole new level. Their mission, “to provide comfort and delight for cats and hum...

Allegra and the Window Perch Calamity

Over the years, many of you have commented on Allegra’s window perch. It’s definitely one of her favorite places to hang out, as it was for all the cats that came before her. In fact, I bought this perch in the mid 1980’s for Feebee, and it’s held up well all these years.

Until a couple of weeks ago, when one of the supports cracked. I’m guessing 30+ years in the sun weakened the plastic. Allegra was on the perch when I noticed it, and it didn’t bother her at all, b...

Fuller Brush Carpet and Floor Sweeper: A Must Have for Homes with Cats

When I was using my trusty Fuller Brush Carpet Sweeper around the litter box the other day, it occurred to me that I had never told you about it. I’ve had this little sweeper for about three years now, and I can’t imagine being without it. And I feel like I should apologize to all of you for not telling you about it sooner!

This electrostatic carpet and floor sweeper just works. It works on carpet, vinyl, tile, and probably works just as well on wood or laminate f...

5 Healthy Habits for Your Cat

This post is sponsored by Darwin’s Natural Pet Products and contains affiliate links*

We all want our cats to live long and happy lives. We know that healthy habits increase our vitality and help prevent serious illness, and the same is true for our cats. If you’re not already practicing these five healthy habits, now is a good time to start!

1. Feed a species-appropriate diet

While we can’t control our cats’ genes, we can control what we feed them, which is why proper nutrition is so importan...

Conscious Cat Sunday: Habits

When it comes to habits, cats are probably the original creatures of routine and most don’t take kindly to having that routine disrupted. I love some of the habits I’ve created as a result of Allegra’s routine, especially first thing in the morning: waking up to her eager little face as she waits for me to get her breakfast ready, then sitting with my first cup of coffee and Allegra in my lap as I fully wake up.

But as we fallible humans only know too well, not all habits are good. And most of...

Celebrate Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day Today

It’s here! Today is the 2nd annual Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day! Arguably, for those of us who share our lives with torties, that’s every day, but today is the day to bring awareness to these beautiful, often misunderstood cats and their tortitude.

I created Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day last year in Ruby’s memory to celebrate torties in all their uniqueness and beauty. Help me turn Facebook, Instagram, and any other social  networks you’re a part of brown, tan, gold, black, cinnamo...

Remembering Ruby: That Time When Ruby Stole a Shrimp

I am so grateful to have eight years of Ruby’s Reflections to look back on. We don’t realize how quickly we can forget the small, everyday things after we lose a loved one. It’s one of the many reasons why I encourage people to journal after they lose a cat and write down as many memories as they can. Capturing memories while they’re fresh in our minds is a precious gift to ourselves.

Today’s memory goes all the way back to 2011. Ruby had been with us for two months, and she was a happy little...

Like so many people, I have spent a good part of quarantine organizing and getting rid of stuff, and replacing some of my old storage containers with brighter new ones. I find that it’s easier to stay organized when you have pretty things to store your stuff in. I can think of any number of places in my home where I’m going to use this super cute storage bin from Triple T Studios.
