It's been said that people that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life.
Confessions of a first time cat Mum
I am a first time cat mum and these are my confessions. I got a rescue kitten in August this year. Not sure why. You see I have always owned dogs all my life. In fact I share ownership of a wonderful pug, called Princess, with my ex-partner, Chris, who I also live with due to financial constraints. I have never really been a cat person, never even really seen the attraction in owning one. Cats, to me, always seemed liked such standoffish creatures. They paid you attention went they wanted to, not when you wanted or needed their companionship. Cats provide love and affection based on their terms not mine. Versus dogs, who always provide such upfront, carefree, unconditional love.

Dear Bob
Dear Bob; aka Fuzzbutt, Doofus, Rrrrrrrrobert, and Shithead, I have lived with cats most of my life, but never one quite like you. Previous feline roommates have always been very laid back and well-behaved, as far as cats go. You, however, have been a very entertaining handful these past 5 years.

Never Underestimate the Mysterious Powers of a Determined Cat
Much like the color of your car, the decision to adopt an animal should never be taken lightly. In a former life, not in a “past lives” sense but in the “many years ago and I was with a different partner” sense, I visited Hawaii for the first time. It was nowhere within the realm of possibility that I might adopt a cat. Sometimes I can be very naive.

The Life and Times of Tiberius Ticklemouse
There was a special bridge that animals were supposed to cross, when their souls left their bodies. The mortal form of an old grey cat known by the slightly odd name of Tiberius Ticklemouse could see the bridge, could even sometimes see what was on the other side, but he hadn't crossed it, not yet.

THE CAT BANDIT
The night was a still night, but for this little cat bandit, it was a steal. In her natural stealth of movement to creep onto the scene, she noticed all that was in her path on this very night before Halloween. In her mind, she believed this was her night to get the treats that she deserved. Any other night, she just does her usual roundabout routines of naps and playing on her cat tower, but tonight was different. It was as if she had changed from day to night to be this new cat. Javanie, the cat's name, has always been a part of my life, but she was more independent today to play her role for Halloween as the cat bandit. This being her first Halloween, she got dressed in her bandit outfit and sought to get her treats like a good girl. I was around with my cat, Bandit, to play with her and give her the tricks or treats she deserved. The cat bandit was able to creep throughout the house to find out where all the treats and tricks were in the house. Just like a bandit who would rob people while they travel, my cat would go into the open cubby and rob me to get her a treat from me. This bandit was a very cute one, so I had no choice but to be robbed by this bandit that stole my affections on this Halloween day.

Cat in the Wall
Dacious. Beau Dacious. Covert ninja. I operate strictly internally at M15, Domestic Intelligence on Kirkwood Avenue now. My free-spirited missions have been curtailed and my Agent Number was changed from 009 to 008 when I used up one of my lives in a harrowing mission we call “Cat in the Wall”. This occurred in March of 2020.

Value of Ohana
There she was tossing turning in and out of sleep only to be startled by what she thought was a kitten desperately meowing and clawing at the door trying to pry his way in. A sudden chill went down her spine from the anxiety settling within from being unsure of what was going on. Goddahzz curiosity nudged her to slowly get up to check outside. To her surprise when she opened the door it wasn't a kitten, but some kind of small blue creature with four legs, huge ears, and big bug eyes staring at her with a creepy yet cute unforgettable smile. Oddly he appeared to be gentle and cuddly as if something was telling her he's not harmful yet very affectionate. Confused as to what was happening she quickly recalled a dream she previously had showing her something or someone would be entering her life to help heal past hurt. Letting out a brief sigh of relief she proceeded towards the small blue creature.

Cat-thulu Times Two!
Full disclosure, I'm not actually a big fan of dressing up your pets. I think hats/things on their head are alright but when you're putting full outfits on, particularly over their paws it's unnatural for them and stressful for everyone involved. The furthest I've gone before is when we used to have antlers for our old dog at Christmas and she used to pose and wait for everyone to say 'aw' then reach up and knock them off, it was very cute! Since we got our cats, Molly & Tilly, I have only attempted to dress them up once. A few years ago, I bought them Halloween capes. I knew I wouldn't get them done up, and didn't really want to, but hoped I'd at least get a cute photo of them draped on their backs. Sadly it was not to be, as soon as the fabric touched them they freaked out and ran and I didn't push the issue. They really hate any kind of dressing up as even collars cause a meltdown. When we got them, they came with harnesses and leads to walk them like dogs but how their previous owner managed it I'll never know as when we tried they got down on their bellies and refused to move before twisting themselves until at least their arms were free of the harnesses.
