Kitty Karma Books Helps Cats In Need

Today I am so pleased to bring to you a guest post by Wai-Lin Terry, Founder & Publisher of Kitty Karma Books. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you already know that rescue is a topic near and dear to my heart because the stars of this blog, Lola and Lexy, are two rescued cats who changed my life. When Wai-Lin contacted me about her book I was more than happy to spread the word. The first phase of her Indiegogo Campaign ends  on 10/31/17, but you still have time to check out her pawtastic perks. 

I, for one, cannot wait to read this book. As an author and a cat advociate, I wish Wai-Lin much success with her project.

Kitty Karma Books Aims to Fund Shelters for Abandoned, Unwanted Cats in Need

“They say cats choose us, we don’t choose them. I believe that cats, with their nine lives and their super-fine senses, are able to see things beyond this world and are more wired to divine will than we humans are. We can ignore a cat’s blessing and beckoning, but at our peril.

I learned these lessons from adopting one special calico cat. I thought I rescued this little feline, but in the end, it was she who rescued me.”


That’s how the closing chapter of Kitty Karma: Big Stories of the Small Cats Who Change Our Lives begins. (More about the book in a moment.) It’s my account of the calico beauty who adopted me. Kealani taught me much during the years she graced my life. Her lessons included a tour through the depths of despair, after she suffered a heart attack and died right in front of me. 

Selfie Sunday - Phoebe's Traveling Shades

Lola: Hello, and Happy Sunday! Lexy and I have very special selfies for you today. Our dear friend Phoebe, of 15 And Meowing, sent her very cool sunglasses for a tour around the country to several kitty bloggers. Lexy and I thought we were too late to sign up for the tour and were SO surprised when we received her shades from our pals  Eastside Cats

So, without further ado, here are our selfies!

Throwback Thursday - This Is Not A Cuddle!

Hello, and Happy Thursday Purrsday! Today I have a throwback that goes back to this time last year.

All I have to say is that is must have been a chilly day or we would have been on opposite sides of the unmade bed. 

Do your kitties cuddle on a cold day?

Frisco Scratching Post/Tower - A Cat's Scratching Delight

Hello, everyone. This is Lexy checking in with our monthly Chewy.com review. Last month Mother thought she was very humorous with her choice of products. The folks at Chewy must have felt bad for me because this month they offered me the opportunity to review one of the most spectacular scratching posts I’ve ever seen… The Frisco Scratching Post/Tower!

Throwback Thursday - Lexy Conquers The Treat Cabinet!

Hello, and Happy Thursday Purrsday! Today's Throwback (which goes all the way back to 2011) features Lexy. 

Mommy left the cabinet open and when she walked back into the kitchen she saw Lexy looking very intently into it. Can you guess what she's looking at? 




It was treats! Lexy was so fast grabbing the package that she's a blur in the photo! 


Some things never change! Lexy still takes the treats any chance she gets! 

Do you have a treat stealer in your house?

Atlantic City Boardwalk Cats Project is a Model Program for TNR #GlobalCatDay

This past July I was disappointed that I couldn’t attend the Best Friends Animal Society national conference in Atlantic City, New Jersey.  I had found out about it too late and I just wasn’t able to swing it. But when Alley Cat Allies announced they were holding tours of their famed Boardwalk Cat Project in conjunction with the conference I was a happy cat lady! Early on a Sunday morning my boyfriend and I took the 2 ½ hour road trip to Atlantic City to meet the Boardwalk Cats. (Lucky for me he’s a cat man, so it didn’t take much convincing for him to join me.) Since today is Global Cat Day, I thought it was the perfect time to share my experience with you.
