It's been said that people that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life.

Missing
This story is a mixture of real events happening a few days ago and fictional events I wish turned real. It was nighttime and since it was the middle of winter it very cold outside. Suddenly, I hear the door open and I am being called. "Gimmy, Gimmy time to come inside." Grandpa steps outside and he has spotted me under the car; got to make a run for it before he gets me. Did I mention I am a kitten about 7 months old? No, well let me introduce myself, my name is Gimlet, but Gimmy for short. I love to explore, and my family would consider me fearless. There is also my brother Ice who by the way is a dog, but I do not let that scare me. He and I like to play and when he least expects it, I pounce on him and he chases me. The rest of my family are humans whom I love them very much.

The story of sweetheart
I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. I went to investigate and saw a calico cat running around. It started to run away when I went to investigate and it saw me. I called out to it and began a conversation. I called the cat her and sweetheart because she reminded me of a kitten I knew long ago. I asked, "Are you her? You're sweetheart aren't you? I remember you. I think I remember you. I called her sweetheart so I am going to call you sweetheart." It was a female kitten that had gotten caught in an engine when I was a kid.

I was adopted by a cat....
So I was adopted by a cat. It was the winter of 2019...a simpler time before the chaos of 2020 and my dad spotted a small gray cat in our backyard. He said that she was as feral as could be, a stray that was only a few months old. Six or seven months at best.

How to Stop Litter Box Problems
The most common reason why cats wind up sitting in a cage at an animal shelter is that they refuse to use the litter box. Cat urine has a very strong odor, and getting it out of fabric or even removing the smell entirely from hard surfaces can be difficult. And, cats have been known not only to defecate behind furniture to hide the deed but also often in the worst places possible, such as your bed.

Home is Where We Are
I have always been a cat person. I've also always identified and presented as a woman in the United States, which, as many of us know, comes with an abundance of double edged swords waiting to slice and dice us to our absolute limit. A few of those swords about what a 30 something woman's home should be kept me from embracing all the splendors of a cat lady life until, to paraphrase Shakespeare, I had greatness thrust upon me.

Best Company Ever!
Before we knew it, 2 years had flown by since we lost our two 18 year old cats. They were, and still are in our hearts & minds, family. The temptation to get another one was huge, but there was a part of us that actually wanted to feel the loss. Well, wanted isn’t exactly correct, but it kind of is, too. Almost like grieving for them really proved how much they meant to us. So we didn’t (get another one) and we did (feel the loss rather keenly).

Alright, I'll start from the beginning, since that's usually where you should start from. I hadn't owned a cat since I was 19 or 20. I had no intentions of having one any time soon either, however, Fate or whatever had other ideas.

Callisto the Cat
Cats are assholes. They really are. I never wanted a cat and that was something I was absolutely adamant about. I was a dog person and no mistake. Nose boops, tricks, walkies in the park. Yes to all of those things. But cats. No. Litter trays, claws and hissing - and let's face it, there was always plenty of hissing if my granny's cat Mr Brown was anything to go by. And then I met, well, more like I was ambushed by, a small bundle of cheek and sass that came to be known as Callisto.

Why Do Cats Knead?
Kneading is a repeated, rhythmic motion during which cats force their paws into and out of a soft surface, switching between paws. Cats enjoy kneading on soft surfaces like sheets, pillows, soft carpeting, a person's lap, or a sofa. No one can describe exactly why cats knead their human family members, but there are some convincing theories available.

"Hey, do you want a blind cat?" I looked up from getting the mail. There stood a man, who currently did not have a home, who found a stray kitten in another homeless person's belongings. Both men shared a goal: to save the little one's life.

Things Nobody Ever Tells You About Having A Cat
We all know that cats are extremely popular. We also know that even in ancient Egypt, they were regarded as sacred creatures. But those who have had cats, or have owned one in the past, can tell you first hand that it ain't no picnic, and it's really not for the weak.
