If you read Allegra and Ruby’s New Year’s resolutions, you already got a hint that Ruby is not thrilled about having to share my lap with Allegra. I’ve often felt that in an ideal cat household, at least from a cat’s perspective, the number of available laps should be equal to the number of cats. Since this is often not the case, some cats have to learn to share human laps. Continue Reading

Ruby’s Reflections: Contributing to Science
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! You’re never going to guess what happened. It has to do with being smart, and with helping mankind, and contributing to the greater good!
Do I have you on the edge of your seat yet? Good. Because this is big! Okay, drum roll please! (Okay, maybe not drum roll. I don’t really like loud noises. But you get the idea.)Continue Reading
Allegra and Ruby’s New Year’s Resolutions
I’m not a big fan of New Year’s resolutions. I set intentions for the year instead. I’ve found that it’s a more powerful way to go about making permanent changes in your life, and intentions tend to “stick” better than resolutions, at least for me. However, Allegra and Ruby have been discussing their New Year’s resolutions these last few days, and they’d like me to share their top 3 resolutions with you.Continue Reading
Ruby and the Dinner Guest
Hi everyone! It’s Ruby! I want to tell you about something that happened the other night – let me just say I got myself in a little bit of trouble! Mom and Allegra say trouble is my middle name, but I have no idea what they’re talking about.Continue Reading

Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! Today is a very important day! It’s my 7th adoption anniversary! Seven years ago today, Mom brought me home to live with her and Allegra. What a happy girl I was that day! And every day since then! Continue Reading
Nurse Ruby on Duty
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! I have been busy the last couple of weeks! Mom got sick the day after New Year’s. She said it was “just a cold,” whatever that means, but I sure was worried about her. There were some really weird things happening, and I wasn’t sure what to make of them.Continue Reading
A Mouse in the House, Part Two
A couple of weeks ago I told you about the little mouse I trapped in our laundry room and released in my neighborhood park. (Hmm, TNR for mice? Although I skipped the “N” part…) I was well aware that mice are usually not single creatures, and sure enough, last week, I saw another one scurrying behind the washer. Continue Reading
Ruby’s Reflections: Sleeping with Mom
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! Mom said I could tell you about how I sleep with her every night because she says it’s “so cute.” I don’t know why she thinks it’s cute that I have to readjust my sleeping position every time she turns over, but whatever!Continue Reading
A Mouse in the House
The other day, I was in my laundry room when I saw a tiny little mouse scurry across the floor in front of my feet. And while I think mice are adorable, I don’t really want to share my living space with them. Of course, this also explained why Allegra and Ruby had been hanging out outside the laundry room door quite a bit lately!Continue Reading
Ruby’s Reflections: The Nail Trim
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me! Today, I want to tell you about something Mom did to me that wasn’t very nice at all. I mean, I love Mom more than anything in the world, but let me tell you, I wasn’t loving her so much the other afternoon.
Mom trims my nails about once a month. I’m usually pretty good for it. Continue Reading
