Cat Resources and Tips

A collection of resources for cat lovers and cat owners.

I share my home with three cats: Xena (adopted in February 2021), Sophie (adopted in October 2022), and Midna (adopted in August 2023). You can see photos of them in my Cat Photos gallery.

💬 Quotes

• "Having a bunch of cats around is good. If you're feeling bad, just look at the cats, you'll feel better, because they know that everything is, just as it is." – Charles Bukowski (from the book On Cats)

💡 Tips

• Track your cats' food intake and weight. I use a spreadsheet to log daily meals (food types given, grams given, grams remaining in the morning) and weight measurements. This helps identify eating pattern changes and provides useful data for vet visits. I also keep a separate document with feeding plans that include calorie calculations for each cat.
• Use litter box liners. They make litter changes quick and mess-free.
