Today is our 12th anniversary! It really seems impossible that I started this blog, inspired by Amber, the original Conscious Cat, a dozen years ago. And while this is a big milestone for Allegra and me, this day really belongs to you, our readers.

Happy Valentine’s Day from Allegra and Ingrid
We’re taking a break from our usual Sunday column this week because we’re too busy enjoying our treats – salmon for Allegra, chocolate for me! We’ll be back with new Sunday Quotes next Sunday.

Happy Halloween 2020
Allegra and I would like to wish you and your kitties a safe and happy Halloween!
This Halloween will be very different from anything we’ve ever experienced before, but I promised Allegra that she’d have some treats in her little bag at the end of the day.

Mews and Nips will return next Saturday.
Happy Labor Day 2020
Today is Labor Day in the United States, and we’re doing anything but labor: we’re taking a 24-hour online break. Allegra has the right idea, and oh, how I wish we could really be at the beach right now!Continue Reading
