Pal thanks you for stopping by
Today was a tough day. I had to say goodbye to two of our cats. Olive and Sam both went to Kitty Heaven today. I know it was for the best since they both had health problems this year. But then again it’s hard to let them go. Olive Olive was only 10 months old. She was nearly a month […]

As a cat owner of over 20 years, I’ve tried several litters. I’ve always gone back to clumping litter. I know it can be messy and dusty but it’s what works best for my cats. I’ve switched brands over the years buying what’s on sale or what has the best odor control. That being said I also try to find

I have some sad news to share. It looks like we have lost Sally. Even though she wasn’t my cat it’s still sad to share this. My parents were out walking yesterday evening and they happened to see the animal control truck. They were able to ask the animal services person if they were picking up a dog or a

I’ve shared about T.J. the Siamese a few times in the past. He was a cat my neighbor started feeding and he became one of the residents Tom’s of my neighborhood. My neighbor thought he was abandoned because he was full-grown when we started to see him around. He used to chase after Sophie and Rocket even though they were

Earlier this year we had a bit of a surprise. Willie disappeared for about a week. We of course feared the worst that she had either passed on or gotten lost. Just like Winnie. Well to my surprise a week later she showed up just fine. Well, little did I know she found a friend to bring home with her.

Let’s face it if you’re a cat owner and you use traditional clay clumping litter it can be a challenge to settle on one your cat likes. Some litters are great while others might be messy or stick to your cat’s paws. So I thought I’d share Pal’s top 5 litter picks. We will add honorable mentions as well.

I thought I’d take the time to talk about Siamese mixes. These cats are wonderful. My Bowie was very loving and sweet. Yet he could be a bit impatient when it came to feeding time. He was a great protector of his little brother Shadow too.

Kitten season will be upon us soon in some areas. In my area, it is happening now. So I thought I’d share the perils of street cats. Some cats may end up homeless because they get lost or maybe they were being fed by someone who moved away. Other times they might be abandoned.

I’ve owned my fair share of feral cats over the years. Currently, to date all the cats we have are ferals. We either found them (such as in Sophie’s case). Or they have been born in my backyard. For the exception of Dylan, Teddy, and Sam they were found by my neighbor next door.

Let’s face it no one ever said having a pet would be low-cost. That being said I found that buying a Litter Genie would be more cost-effective than having to use a ton of small bags every time I cleaned out the litter box. When we were a one-cat household with just Sophie it wasn’t that bag. But once we
