We’ve all been stressed and anxious for a very long time, and we just made it through what was arguably one of the most exhausting weeks in US history. We’ll need to remember to be kind to each other in the coming days and weeks and months, because despite our differences, even if they seem extreme, we are all human beings. It’s time to focus on peace and healing. Continue reading…
A family on a camping trip in Washington State found a small tortie inside a drain pipe along the side of the road. They brought the emaciated cat to their RV and took her home after the weekend. A few days later, Caci the tortie gave birth to six kittens. The babies needed to be bottlefed initially, but as Caci became stronger, she was able to nurse the kittens. The kittens have already found new homes, but Caci is still waiting for her purrfect forever home. For more about this beautiful family and wonderful photos, visit LoveMeow.

Tuesday was launch day for P.S. I Love You More Than Tuna,.and we couldn’t be more excited that this little book is selling like the proverbial hot cakes!
Really helpful books about pet loss are few and far between. While there are plenty of books and websites out there that offer support, ultimately, grief is a solitary journey. No book or website can do it for you. Continue reading…

Allegra and I would like to wish you and your kitties a safe and happy Halloween!
This Halloween will be very different from anything we’ve ever experienced before, but I promised Allegra that she’d have some treats in her little bag at the end of the day.
And even though there may not be trick or treaters this year, which eliminates the chances of cats dashing out open doors, please be mindful of some of the other hazards of the holiday, such as decorations, electrical cords and candles. Click here for our Halloween safety tips.
Mews and Nips will return next Saturday.
Congratulations, Angela Gosselin and Jody A. Vernay! You’re the winners of our Sleepypod Air giveaway.
If you’re wondering why there are two winners – well, it’s because I messed up. I prematurely picked our first winner early in the week before the giveaway had expired, because i thought we were already a week ahead. I’m chalking it up to pandemic brain. I had already notified our first winner, and I really didn’t want to have to tell her “oops, sorry, just kidding!” Thankfully, the wonderful folks at Sleepypod told me not to worry, they would just offer up a second carrier so that the giveaway could run all the way to its scheduled end!
Angela and Jody, look for an email from Ingrid*.
