It's no surprise that I've been away for a very long time and as much as I would like to apologize for my absence, it has been much needed. While running a pet blog has brought me joy for years, the past year for me has been quite a blur and I've been finding means of coping with the loss of Beau, which seems to have gotten better, but we're not completely there yet. In … [Read more...] about We Have a Cleo (Introducing Our New Cat)

Continual Grieving for My Cat Beau – Part 2 – Nightmares
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
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)
Kalista, Our Cat, Always Wants to Sleep Hugging Me
I've always been aware that my cats' behaviour continuously changes throughout the years and at first I was afraid that I would always have difficulty bonding with our youngest cat, Kalista. Kalista is the third cat in my immediate life, but similar to Walker, our personalities didn't really fit each other at first. Kalista was always a scardy cat who didn't … [Read more...] about Kalista, Our Cat, Always Wants to Sleep Hugging Me
Stevie the Cat Cuddles For 10-Minutes (Cute Cat Video)
Over the last month, I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting and cat sitting my friend's cat, Stevie. Although Stevie was hesitant of me in the first week, by week 2 we were already cuddling and enjoying spending time with one another. Stevie was honestly such a pleasure to take care of and while I'll be seeing him one last time today before I hand over the … [Read more...] about Stevie the Cat Cuddles For 10-Minutes (Cute Cat Video)
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
Stevie, the Cat, Has a Swollen Chin/Lip. What It Is & Aftercare
The last week when I was taking pictures of Stevie, I thought I noticed his tongue sticking out. I remember thinking "that's strange, I don't think I've ever noticed Stevie stick his tongue out while we're playing or cuddling." At most, Stevie drools when you pet him, but even then I've never seen him stick out his tongue. I kept taking pictures of Stevie because he … [Read more...] about Stevie, the Cat, Has a Swollen Chin/Lip. What It Is & Aftercare
Cat Sitting My Friend’s Cat Stevie (Week 2)
I know this post is so late and that we're already midway through the third week with Stevie, but to be honest... any time I spend with Stevie is so focussed on Stevie these days. Stevie has made huge leaps and bounds in our relationship and I'm happy to say that I think we're best friends now! Although Stevie doesn't come running to the door as soon as I come … [Read more...] about Cat Sitting My Friend’s Cat Stevie (Week 2)
Cat Sitting My Friend’s Cat Stevie (Week 1)
A friend of mine recently asked me if I was available to babysit her cat, Stevie, while she was away for the month. Being that I've already met Stevie and that they live close by, it seemed like the opportunity was meant to be. I've personally never had to babysit a cat before, other than my mom's cat, but who could say no to the opportunity to meet and spend time with a new … [Read more...] about Cat Sitting My Friend’s Cat Stevie (Week 1)
