Honoring Your Beloved Animal Today 💜
|
Hi Reader Love Never Leaves Us. And neither do our animals. Today is World Pet Memorial Day—a sacred moment to pause and honor the animals who have given us unconditional love and companionship. Their love was like a never-ending embrace. And when they departed, they left their prints on our hearts that changed us forever. Losing my 22½-year-old cat, Mona Marie, last September was devastating. Living without her has been difficult—for both me and Yogi Bear. The quiet moments still catch me by surprise. But knowing that we are always connected brings me solace, despite missing her with all my heart and soul. Here are a few gentle ways to honor them today:
Today and every day, let’s honor their love together. Because our animals and our love for them don't disappear when they transitions. Instead, our relationship transforms, deepens, and stays with us. Always. Blessings, ~Cat |

In just the last few weeks, I’ve had multiple sessions where a loving dog parent asked the gut-wrenching question: Is my dog better off in a new home? The decision to rehome a pet is often...
It took me 6 months to work up the courage because I have major trust issues. My issues stem from my first mom teaching me to retreat whenever things didn’t feel safe, so that’s what I do to protect myself. Thankfully, Cat understands this. She is patient, kind, and persistent. Cat knows I can't go any faster than I'm comfortable. Her secret sauce? Cat consistently meets me where I’m at during our daily “dates,” where I let her pet me while noshing on something tasty. Day by day. Treat by...
Guess who caught a mouse in their house? Not my 2 kittens, Minnie and Finnegan, or even my squirrel-and-chipmunk-chasing dog, Yogi Bear. The Animal Muse Crew: Finnegan, Minnie and Yogi Bear I did 😻! Let me explain. I recently found a mouse in my utility closet. Or, more accurately, mouse deposits. Yuk! Then I discovered my unwanted guest had moved across the hall into the dog and cat food closet. Not cool. As I inspected the mouse droppings, I looked Minnie and Finnegan in the eye and said,...
