Hello, people and Happy New Year. Our human mom, Beth, is very very busy, so we wanted to help her out by writing a blog post to tell you about the amazing thing we got for Christmas this year. We’re not exactly sure what it is, but mom acted really excited when she opened it, […]
I’m back from my meditation retreat, where one of the common admonishments is “Don’t push the river.” Â What does that mean? Â To me, it’s about being in the flow and not exerting more effort than necessary to live peacefully and mindfully in the present moment. Â After all, the river’s gonna flow whether you push it […]
Our cats have always eaten their homemade food out of nice ceramic dishes that we got for free or almost free at a yard sale. (Arya is practicing her scary Halloween demon kitty face.) But apparently, not all cats are so lucky. Michael came home last Friday and told me his workmate’s cat had developed […]
Looking for natural flea treatments for cats without toxic chemicals.
Many of you have seen Chris Jordan’s recent heartbreaking photos of dead albatross chicks on Midway Atoll with bellies full of plastic.

Arya loves SwheatScoop cat litter. She loves to rip open the bag, spread the litter across the kitchen floor, and then lie in it and take a nap. Why confine such an awesome substance to her litter box? Soots on the other hand, will have almost nothing to do with it. To avoid grossing you […]

Oh, da hoomiliashun! Well, what can you do when little kitties just lick off the bitter lotion we put on their sutures to keep them from doing just that? Bitter! Yum Yum! Anyone need a plastic bottle of bitter lotion? My cat thinks it tastes like dessert. At least Arya’s fur will grow back. Some […]
My little baby Arya, about whom I’ve been bitching for weeks, fell off Michael’s high shoulders yesterday afternoon onto the hard kitchen floor and broke her front leg. We’ve been crying off and on since last night. Took her to emergency vet. The break is too high up for them to stabilize the leg with […]
