Last month Kip picked out the book I’m reviewing today titled “For the Love of Cats From A to Z,” written by Sandy Robins. Unbeknownst to Kippie, the back cover sports a full-page Petie look-alike. Though it took me … Continue reading
So Many (Cat) Books, So Little Time
As I mentioned in a previous post, lately I’ve been feeling like a hamster on a wheel. Trying to catch-up and going nowhere fast. Reviewing the many cat books I’ve received ranks up there on the “to do” list. … Continue reading
Jack of All Trades
I always wondered what I’d be when I grew up. As a little girl, when asked the question I’d respond “A ballerina, teacher, mom, fireman….” the list went on. People found it cute, endearing even. As a freshman in … Continue reading

Is Your Cat a Fiber Artist?
I believe in supporting the fine arts and admire the avant-garde creations of Henry the Feline Fiber Artist. But Kip’s fiber art is something I’d prefer on canvas. Not my chaise. My cats are partial to carpet-covered scratchers. And if … Continue reading

Pretty in (Hot) Pink
After redecorating my living room I stepped back and realized: I’d created Petie in room form. White and charcoal grey all over with pink accents. I’d never considered myself a “pink” person, but there’s something about a vivid pink that’s … Continue reading

Felines Need Nice Plates Too (well maybe bowls)
In my early 30s, having navigated many a registry for engagement, wedding shower, wedding and baby shower gifts, I decided enough was enough. For my Birthday that year friends and family received an email with a link to my Crate … Continue reading
(Cat) Nip and Wine
I thought “Nip and Wine” was a cute post title until it dawned on me what “nip” is short for. Since the only “nips” on this page are of the feline variety I added “(cat)” to the title to avoid … Continue reading
Out, Damn’d Spot! Out, I Say!
When I purchased a carpet from Fab.com (yes I’m obsessed), I didn’t worry about potential cat stains. If anything posed a viable threat to my Petie-palate hued rug it was my red wine habit. But just a few short … Continue reading
All Dressed Up and No Place to Go
I’m generally not a fan cats sporting clothing. There are a few exceptions: Sphynx who live in cold climates, cats who groom themselves incessantly and the occasional cat who truly seems to enjoy it, or at least nonplussed. Well I just added a … Continue reading
Cat Chic Canadian Style
The first time I saw The Faux Bearskin by Loyal Luxe I had a vision. Petie sprawled out in all his glory wearing a smoking jacket open in the front revealing tufts of his ample white belly. In the background … Continue reading
Zen and the Art of Motor Maintenance
Not so long ago I posted a review about my snazzy new easy-to-clean Raindrop drinking fountain from Pet Pionoeer. Fast forward three months later and the motor had stopped working. I tried cleaning it the best I knew how but … Continue reading

Modern Feline Meets Modern Canine (Giveaway!)
When I first heard from Tiffany Pek, founder of The Modern Canine, I thought for sure she had the wrong person. Um…I have cats(s) not canines, and they most certainly do not wear clothing. It turns out that in her … Continue reading
Cats + Wine = Fun For All!
Wine and cats, cats and wine. I often enjoy them both as I unwind after a long day at work. Kate, the lady behind the well-loved website ModernCat, must have had me in mind when she started selling these ingenious cat … Continue reading
A Valentine for Kitty (Severed Leg Catnip Toys)
“Nothing tells kitty you love her more than a severed leg.” I had to smile when I read this on the Life With Tigers website. I’ve long believed cats are the coolest pets exactly because they are pygmy tigers. Life With Tigers was founded … Continue reading
