I had a really messed up dream this morning that I wish I never had it. At first I tried to be grateful that the dream cleared up some of my emotions of how I felt about Beau's passing, but the reality is that the dream was just messed up and the images in it are burned into my head. I lucid dream regularly and I often feel like I can disappear into my dreams because of … [Read more...] about Continual Grieving for My Cat Beau – Part 2 – Nightmares

Continual Grieving for My Cat Beau – Part 1
I'm still finding it extremely difficult to let go of my grief for Beau and it seems like in recent days it's become more difficult than ever. I don't want to litter my blog with "poor me" stories and continual attention seeking, but I'm finding it difficult to cope most nights and the amount of disassociation I've been feeling with my body and life has been a bit … [Read more...] about Continual Grieving for My Cat Beau – Part 1
Meet Our Newest Cat Aramis
I'm going to precursor this post by saying, there's going to be bouts of sadness inside of it as this is our first Christmas that we experience without Beau. Admittedly, things feel extremely different for us without Beau and the grief process has been long and difficult, often leading my husband and I to burst into tears throughout the day. The oddest part about the grief … [Read more...] about Meet Our Newest Cat Aramis
Grieving a Cat (Saying Goodbye to Beau)
I'm still in shock with the events that took place yesterday and the extremely difficult experience of having to say goodbye to my best friend this morning. I'm going to precursor this post by saying, I don't know if any of it is going to make sense or be cohesive, but I'm truly not in the best headspace as I grieve the best gift that was given to me. Beau truly … [Read more...] about Grieving a Cat (Saying Goodbye to Beau)
Taking Both Cats to the Vet & Update on Beau’s PU Surgery 2 Years Later
Hello everyone! I'm hoping you all had a brilliant start to your new year and that you're either settled in or almost settled into your routines and schedules. I know things have been a bit of a hurricane in the Pets Overload family, which explains the lack of posts, but since I have today off I thought I would give you a proper fill-in on our lives. As some of you … [Read more...] about Taking Both Cats to the Vet & Update on Beau’s PU Surgery 2 Years Later
Happy 5th Birthday to our Cat Beau! A Year Round-Up
I'm finding it difficult to write Beau a Happy Birthday post this year. It's not because I don't care about him, or because there's nothing remarkable about him that I don't want to share, but it's the fact that I hardly even realized the year go by. Me meeting Beau was a big game-changer in my life. I was in a fairly new relationship, I was still living with my … [Read more...] about Happy 5th Birthday to our Cat Beau! A Year Round-Up
Leaving Our Cats & Chinchilla with My Mother for over a Week (Loads of Cute Cat Photos)
It's been a while since I last had the opportunity to chase the cats around the apartment and get photos of them doing the things they do best (which pretty much means watching them lay around and do nothing!) (This blog is going to feature all the photos I took of Beau since there were way too many of all of the pets to upload into one post. Much more to come!) This past … [Read more...] about Leaving Our Cats & Chinchilla with My Mother for over a Week (Loads of Cute Cat Photos)
Kalista Has a New Favourite Place to Spend the Day (Cute Cat Story)
These past two weekends my partner and I have been taking steps to make our apartment more homely and well... more organized! I would be a liar if I ever said that we fully moved in when we moved almost a year ago, especially because some of our things were still in boxes, lots of things didn't have homes to live in, and truthfully both of us were fairly embarrassed … [Read more...] about Kalista Has a New Favourite Place to Spend the Day (Cute Cat Story)
Beau, Our Cat, Has Been a Naughty and Is Stealing Our Grease Tray (Cute Cat Story)
Beau is a little bit of a rascal. You see he was a stray that my sister helped rescue from her backyard and he has become my best friend ever since. Beau is probably the best cat that I could ever ask for. He's always cuddly and never sleeps without me, and quite frankly I can't believe how much he likes to be held. Beau's such a great cat that he gets along … [Read more...] about Beau, Our Cat, Has Been a Naughty and Is Stealing Our Grease Tray (Cute Cat Story)
Taking Close Ups of My Cats Chilling Around the House (Cute Cat Photos)
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, I haven't been spending as much time taking photos of our pets as of late and I've really missed it. The cats haven't been super active as of late, but they have been lounging around me for the hours that I am home with them. Each of them choosing to take one of the many beds we have laid out for them. This week, Beau has been more … [Read more...] about Taking Close Ups of My Cats Chilling Around the House (Cute Cat Photos)
