Advice I Give Myself
The Mainzer Cats image doesn’t have much to do with this post, but it looks awfully advice-y, doesn’t it? Advice is such a loaded word. So much of it is unwanted, yet when we need it, we really need it. All of us are guilty from time to time (to time) of not taking our…

Updates, Ahoy!
Greetings and salutations! Does anyone else love Heathers? The 1989 movie version, that is — with Winona Ryder? I love it and I’m definitely more of a Veronica than a Heather. Anywhooooo — I thought I’d update you all on a few things about which you may or may not be interested! MY POOR TOE…

My Boy’s Holding Up
Thank you for your kind comments and supportive thoughts on my last post about Cosmo’s oral cancer diagnosis. I thought it’d be a good time for an update. The vet says he has weeks-to-months of life to share with us. I’m not sure from when that clock started ticking because he’s had mouth issues since…

Update on Cosmo’s Health
A little over a week ago, my blog post included a worry I had about Cosmos’s oral health. He was getting ready to go in for a second biopsy due mysterious mouth swelling and ulcers. Over the last few days, several readers and friends have asked for an update on Cosmo’s condition. I’m finally ready…

Pool, Podcast, Chicken Teeth, CatCon, and Mouth Troubles
I know you’ve all been on the edge of your seats wondering, “What’s Angie been up to?” Wonder no longer! The pool in my building finally opened and I’ve been hanging out there when I can. One thing I notice is that, even in shallow water, I stand on my tippy toes. What’s up with…

Friday Cat Pic Jollies
Like you, I take about 1,265 cat pics a day. Some (most) of them are jerky (the pics, not the cats … most of the time), blurry, or just plain bad. Other times I’ll manage to capture an image that sends me rolling in hysterics. And just because I think a photo is the best…

To All the Ideas I’ve Loved Before
At any given time, I have about 2,124 ideas swirling around in my head. Over the years, I’ve ran with some of them, and other times I’ve left them to float around in the ether, hopefully landing in someone else’s idea bank. Have you read Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert? She’s also the one who…

Anxiety and Monkey Poop
More than 98.2% of the things I fret about never happen, and I try really hard not to worry, but alas … there are my mind monkeys hurling their own their poop at one other. That’s right, my mind is oftentimes filled with monkey poop. I’ve lived with anxiety my entire life. After a crapload…

6 Benefits of Cats as Co-Workers
I’m one of those lucky people who gets to work from home, but just because I don’t have much human interaction during the day doesn’t mean I don’t have co-workers. Meet Cosmo: my trusty assistant who spends most of his on-the-clock time napping or staring at me, willing me to offer him a handful of…
