StrengthsFinder for My Cat
I recently took a personality test for work, and when my results came back, I felt so SEEN. Naturally, when I looked up from my report and locked eyes with Junipurr, like a true convert, I immediately wanted to apply the Truth of Personality Tests to her. After all, cats are people too, right?
TJIF | Fireworks PSA
Happy Friday, friends! What are you and your furbabies up to this 4th of July? Junipurr is going to exercise her courage muscle, and I’m looking forward to an outdoor picnic + festivities that do not involve explosions. I used to love fireworks, but meeting this beautiful grey fox last year made me realize the impact a few minutes of fireworks has on the local ecosystem.

Morning Rituals with Cat
There are two types of mornings. Those in which the parents wake before Junipurr’s stomach … and those in which they don’t. For the sake of brevity, we will call them by their Junipurr-given names: Good Mornings and Mornings of Doom & Disappointment. Before we dive into our morning rituals, you should know something.
