Guest post: More Space
Do find yourself having obsessive clear outs and reorganizing lately, or is it just me? I know two couples that are clearing out too, but they’re moving, so that just doesn’t count.
Guest post: Spaces or Spaced Out…Whatevs
There are many spaces we inhabit – our homes, our offices, restaurants, libraries, the fabulous cat sanctuary where we share so much of ourselves and get so much in return. Lately, the spaces where we can spend our time have become very limited, as have the pods we share them with. Seriously, have we become […]
Guest post: Second time’s the charm
When I first met Samantha, it was because another volunteer asked me to. The poor kitty was frightened, cowering in an open crate, and new to the community room. She needed friends, and it wasn’t difficult to convince her that scratches and cooing are nice.

Guest post: Trying
“Give it the old college try.” “Try to see it my way.” “Try, try, try to understand.” “Try a little tenderness.” “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” “These are the times that try men’s souls.” “This is trying my patience.”
Guest post: Potent purrables
Don’t know about you, but I could really use a drink just about now. Of course, I’ll heed my father’s advice and hold off: when you “need” a drink it’s the time to not have one. Instead, blog. That last wasn’t a thing when my dad was on this side of the rainbow bridge, but […]
Guest post: Who is in your toolbox?
Cats are the mammalian equivalent of Swiss army knives. They are multi-faceted and fill niches in our world that haters could never begin to imagine.
Guest post: Satisfaction (with just a dash of guilt)
Silver linings are of utmost importance right now. Finding the happy and clinging to it is central to self-preservation.
