As you may know from reading my post “Feline Mignon,” I’m a recent vegetarian flirting with veganism (according to the dictionary not a word, but oh well!).

On this page I’ll share my experiences with vegan cuisine – the good, the bad, the ugly – so you don’t make the same mistakes I do lest it turn you off forever!

Café Venosa: A Vegan Cat Cafe in Montreal
With Café Venosa opening as the third cat cafe in Montreal, guest writer Véronique is not so far off when she proclaims, “We shall rename the city Meowtréal!” I hope you enjoy today’s fun guest post with a sneak peek into a very unique cat cafe! Today’s post is written Véronique, a resident of Montréal and ...
Modern Cat Tote (As Seen in NY!)
Spotted on the R train, at a Starbucks – even attracting random shop cats! This contemporary cat tote is the “it” bag for all modern ladies in “the city.” Just wait ’til Taylor Swift gets her hands on this! Okay, I cannot tell a lie. I MAY have had a “plant” or two (I didn’t know ...
I Kissed a Pig. And I Liked It.
Okay, technically it was nose-to-snout but I’m calling it. I can’t say it for certain, but I have to imagine this is exactly what I looked the first time I came face-to-face with a farm animal some three plus decades ago. If you’d met me five years ago, you’d know me as a pig-lover of another kind. Suffice ...
(Vegan) Cooking Under The Influence
Do you get super productive or gain new abilities when you’re buzzed? It’s so nice to wake up to a sparkling bathroom you don’t remember cleaning. And my French is flawless after a few glasses bottle of wine. I recently discovered margaritas give me the ability to cook, and without a recipe even! After a few three ...
(Mis)Adventures in Fake Meat
For those of you new to my blog wondering what fake meats have to do with kitties, let me explain. I’ve been a pescatarian (each seafood but no meat) for several years because of my cats (check out my post “Feline Mignon” for that story). Given my disgust of factory farming I aspire to a ...
Happy Thanksgiving and ThanksLiving to All!
I couldn’t let the day pass without taking the time to proclaim gratitude for all I am blessed with in my life. In addition to good health I’m most thankful for my two and four-legged family members and my amazing circle of friends. Both those I’ve had in my life for years, and those I’ve ...
Color Me Vegan
I’m super excited about my plan to attend ThanksLiving at the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary with a few friends today. ThanksLiving is a fundraising event for the Sanctuary in which Turkeys are the guests of honor and bi-pods dine on a vegan version of the traditional Thanksgiving feast complete with vegan wine.* I’m far from being ...
(Vegan) Lasagna Fit for Garfield
I am well aware that cats are obligate carnivores so don’t go posting comments calling me an animal abuser. I’m taking creative license to prove my point. This lasagna is darn good. When I put a call out for vegan lasagna recipes my dear French friend sent me a cheese laden recipe that did not involve ...
meat(less)balls
I’m a notoriously bad flirt. I should have been a caveman. See what I like, knock it over the head, drag it home and be done with it. Flirting with vegan has been a bit of a challenge as well. You have to kiss a lot of frogs before finding a keeper (e.g, vege burgers that ...
Cold Weather Comfort Food (Vegetarian/Vegan)
As a vegetarian flirting with vegan (okay, a pescatarian, but that sounds like a religion) I find it difficult to get enough protein and iron in my diet. I like lentils and love my mom’s lentil soup recipe, but sometimes soup doesn’t seem exciting or substantive enough for dinner. And something about having wine with ...
