Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! Guess what! I’m seven years old today! Apparently that means I’m officially a senior kitty now, but Mom says I sure don’t act like one. She says I will always be her kitten. I still look like one, too, because I’m so tiny. I may be tiny, but I’m mighty!Continue Reading
Hi everyone, it’s Allegra and Ruby! Guess what! Today is Mom’s birthday.

Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! If you’ve read Mom’s four-part series titled “Ruby Goes to the Dentist” last week, you already know what happened to me. In case you missed it, here are the four posts:

It’s no secret that cats are creatures of habit, and that they like their routines. Not surprisingly, cats’ routines will develop around their humans’ schedule and household routines. While such a routine driven life may seem boring to humans, it helps cats feel safe and confident.

I was going to tell you about Allegra and Ruby’s morning routine, but they wanted to tell you in their own words.Continue Reading
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! I want to talk about sleeping with humans today, and tell you about how I’ve trained my Mom to do what I want her to do when we go to bed at night. Who says humans can’t be trained!
