Why Cats Climb and Get Stuck in Trees
Cat Wisdom 101 :: 07/16/2026 11:27:46 PM
Not all cats like climbing trees, but I’ve known many that do and I’m sharing a few of their secrets of what not to do. Lumi climbed a tree the other day, and I happened to be sitting right beside it with my phone in hand. I watched the whole decision unfold, the look up, the little repositioning of paws, then she just went for it like a pro. She has happily lived with us now for six months and as time goes by, she reminds me more and more like our dearly departed Odin, who was a master tree climber. There was no tree that he…

National Kitten Day: Why I will never adopt a kitten
Cat Wisdom 101 :: 07/09/2026 10:11:47 PM
Not ready for a 20-year commitment? Same. July 10 is National Kitten Day, which means your feeds are about to fill up with tiny, wobbly, impossibly cute kittens. I love that for everyone else. But I have a confession: I haven’t adopted a true kitten since I started this blog back in 2011, and even that cat, Odin, was already five months old when he came home with me. Every cat since has come to me as an adult or a senior. I’m apparently one of the rare cat people who isn’t crazy about kittens. Not because they aren’t…

Real Men Love Cats: A Fun Father’s Day Tribute to Cat Dads
Cat Wisdom 101 :: 06/18/2026 10:31:08 PM
On the eve of Father’s Day or Cat Dad Day, let’s talk about a full circle moment. In June, 2011, I wrote the first caption declaring that real men love cats. The inspiration came from a random encounter in a parking lot where I saw this man dressed in a suit, bending over to pet a stray cat. I loved the juxtaposition of the man dressed in black-and-white and the Tuxedo cat matching him. He wasn’t aware that I was photographing him which made the moment even sweeter And I thought real men really do love cats. Long before…

Benjamin Franklin, Madame Helvétius, and Her 20 Spoiled Cats in Paris
Cat Wisdom 101 :: 06/01/2026 1:51:13 AM
Settle down, perhaps with a cat on your lap for a delicious slice of cat lover history. As a cat lover, I confess I have an enormous soft spot for Madame Helvétius and her famously spoiled feline court. Living in 18th-century France, Madame Helvétius surrounded herself not only with philosophers, intellectuals, and political thinkers, like Benjamin Franklin… but also with chickens, pigeons, canaries, lapdogs, and no fewer than twenty Angora cats. Yes. Twenty. And apparently these were not ordinary cats. From September through…

Tuxedo Cats: Why No Two Look Alike
Cat Wisdom 101 :: 05/22/2026 4:39:14 PM
Why No Two Tuxedo Cats Look Alike (And the Science Behind It). My very different Tuxies, Otto and Lumi, serve as purrfect examples. I’ve been writing about cats at this blog for sixteen years. I’ve shared countless photos of my cats, celebrated their personalities, and documented their many opinions about everything. But somehow I never stopped to write about something I look at every single day: the fact that my two tuxedo cats look almost nothing alike. No two Tuxedo cats are identical. They are as unique as a fingerprint. Otto…

Thankfully, we’ve evolved. These days, cat moms come in every age, aesthetic, and lifestyle imaginable. Some are glamorous city girls with designer handbags and a spoiled Bengal named after a Greek god. Some are tattooed artists, cottage gardeners, busy professionals, introverts, healers, or…

Cuteness Alert: Black Cat Love and Luck
Cat Wisdom 101 :: 04/28/2026 3:52:53 PM
Black Cat Love and Luck There is something quietly subversive about the black cat’s reputation arc. Once cast as an omen, a shadow slipping across thresholds, it gradually wandered into a very different role. By the early 20th century, black cats were not merely redeemed. They were adored and considered lucky especially in the U.K. and France where these postcards are from. I’ve translated them into English. From the 1890s through the 1920s, they appeared everywhere...

How refreshing to know there are so many people giving out good information about cats when usually it's more about dogs. If you get a chance maybe you'll give my new site a quick look for fun.
