One of the most difficult things about having fur kids is when it’s time to say goodbye. This past week we had to say goodbye to our 15 year old Tonkinese, Lili. Today I honor her memory with a look back. Finding Lili Back in 2006 we went to a local cat show with the […]

Our cats are family members, and when they pass away unexpectedly the shock can send cat parents’ minds in many directions. Unexpected loss of our fur babies can leave us with feelings of guilt, inadequacy, sorrow, and self doubt. What did I do to cause this? Is there something else I could have done to […]

In the summer of 2018 a feral cat started showing up in the vicinity of my house.  Unbeknownst to me at the time I later learned our neighborhood had a TNR program (trap, neuter, return) for neighborhood feral cats.   This kitty was different somehow.  Filled with sadness, it was his eyes that got to me.  He […]

Life has a funny way of getting our attention at times, doesn’t it?  Perhaps in ways we don’t expect or circumstances that are extremely painful.  Ironically, it is in those times we learn the most–about ourselves and about life.  There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “When the student is ready the teacher appears.”  […]

Have you ever encountered a feral cat who was injured and needed help? A couple of weeks ago I was finally able to get a closer look at our furry orange neighbor.  He had the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen.  I saw several red, open wounds around his neck.  Some of the open wounds were partially covered in black, including inside one of his ears.  The right side of his face was swollen as if a golf ball was inside his cheek.  My heart broke for him!

When It’s Time To Say Goodbye To Your Cat The cycle of life can be down right heart breaking.  After recently losing my precious Hershey after almost 17 years together I can honestly say I have no regrets.  He got the best holistic care, I offered him the best food, he enjoyed several family vacations, […]

  It’s been an emotional week in our household as one of our cats crossed the rainbow bridge.  Today’s post is a tribute to my cat Hershey.  As heart-breaking as it is, I know he is alive and well in spirt and flying high once again.  The bond we shared was deeper than any I […]

The Emotional Toll of Losing a Pet Our cats. They are family, not just animals. It’s been interesting to see this dynamic shift over the past several decades. Animals went from being outdoors only to being allowed inside for a bit to sleeping in our beds. Now we call them our fur babies, not our […]

How do you find a lost cat? When you suddenly become aware that your cat is missing it can strike terror and fear into your heart.  If you happen to be in the middle of the Colorado Rockies when it happens where do you even begin looking?  If you have ever tried finding a lost […]
