Mews and Nips: Rest in Peace, Texas Wilde

We were sad to hear that Texas, one of the cats who appeared in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, passed away earlier this week. Charlotte Wilde, who owns a London-based animal agency which supplies professionally trained animals to top photographers and TV and film production companies, rescued Texas in 2006. “A friend called and said ‘oh, can you pick up this cat?’” said Charlotte with a wry laugh. “He’s a super super silly little cat, and very clever.” Since then, he’s appeared in TV series,...

Friday the 13th, Full Moon and Black Cats

For the first time in 13 years, a full moon will occur today, on Friday the 13th. What better time to hug a black cat for good luck?

I’m not superstitious, but I still find it fascinating how relatively rare it is for a full moon to fall on Friday the 13th. It last happened in 2006, and it won’t happen again until May 2033.

As for black cat superstitions, we know just how silly they are. The folklore surrounding black cats varies from culture to culture. In the United States and several Eur...

Now Available: The 2020 Conscious Cat Wall Calendar

It’s hard to believe it’s time to start thinking about calendars for next year. We’re hoping that our 2020 Conscious Cat Wall Calendar will be one of your choices!

Allegra and Ruby helped me pick out the photos (and as always, there was quite a bit of spirited discussion!) To my knowledge, this is still the only calendar on the market that exclusively features tortoiseshell cats and their famous tortitude!

Calendars are $24.95 plus $7.95 shipping and handling (US only, please contact me fo...

1TDC™ Reduced Allegra’s Gingivitis

This post contains affiliate links*

If you’ve read this blog for a while, you’ve heard me talk about 1TDC™ and about how much I like this supplement. I don’t use the term “miracle” lightly, but I am using it for this product. And now, I got to see the benefits first hand: at Allegra’s check up last month, our vet found that her gums looked better than last year and that there is less evidence of gingivitis.

Allegra last had a professional cleaning four years ago. At that time, she had reso...

How to Help the Animals in the Bahamas

It’s impossible for me to wrap my mind around the devastation in the Bahamas following Hurricane Dorian. The worst I’ve ever been through in terms of hurricanes was Hurricane Isabelle in 2003. By the time it reached the Washington DC area, it was downgraded to a tropical storm, but I still remember what, to me, was a terrifying night listening to the rain and wind pounding my house. I can’t even imagine what it must have been like to go through 24+ hours of a category 5 storm.

Ruby’s Reflections: It’s my 9th Birthday!

Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! Guess what! There’s not going to be a Mews and Nips today, because something much more important is happening today: it’s my birthday! I’m nine years old today! Mom still calls me her kitten, but I think she better start treating me like the mature cat I’ve become. I’m all grown up!

Allegra: You know, maybe some of our readers would rather get the week’s highlights like they usually do on Saturday. They might not appreciate you taking over the blog!

Ruby: Oh Allegra...
