If you’ve ever walked into your living room to find your couch looking like it lost a fight with a tiny, furry tornado, you’re not alone.

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 […]

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 […]
