On Forever Midnight
I have waited a while to update this blog for so many reasons. However, the main reason is that on Sept. 6, 2024, my baby Midnight crossed the rainbow bridge. The week prior, she was doing well. She was eating great and acting like herself. Suddenly, she was getting sick and not eating much. Of…

On Save the Kitties
Exactly three years, I found the rescue that would change my life. On July 24, 2021, I saw a local rescue that I hadn’t heard of was having a grand opening party and Zach and I decided to go on a Saturday. It was small shelter and a few ladies were there during the opening.…

On Two Decades of Midnight
Midnight has officially turned 20 years old! That is huge for a kitty! Midnight and I have gone through so much since I first found her while in high school! She’s lived in every place with me – my mom’s house, my first apartment, a duplex we rented, our condo, and our current house. She’s…

On Fosters to Failures
When Zach and I moved into our current house, a big reason I wanted to move was so that I could have a room for foster kitties! I was eager to start fostering cats, because so often I would see posts saying that different rescues desperately needing fosters and it literally made my heart ache.…

But now that it’s…

On Max
February was a hell of a month. Zach and I had to go to the vet no less than four times in three weeks. I took a little break from writing or posting, because it has been so difficult lately. My most recent post highlighted what was going on with Midnight and that was stressful…

On Elderly Baby
Midnight continues to be my baby. Midnight’s 6 month check up came early! She had a UTI, which led to a urine analysis, which led to doing her 6 month kidney bloodwork early, which led to finding out Midnight has very calcified kidney. But she is resilient. Aside from me having anxiety every time she…

On the Amsterdam Cat-fĂŠ
I recently went to The Netherlands and got to spend a Sunday afternoon exploring. I’ve been to Amsterdam before, but I had a very specific mission that Sunday: to visit a cat cafe. I am no stranger to cat cafes. When I used to visit Budapest, Hungary regularly, I went to several cat cafes. In…
