Speaking of professional stuff, this Canadian girl’s PowerPoint presentation to her parents on why their family needs a cat is on point! Talk about excelling at the Art of Purrsuasion! (See what I did there with the 3x puns? ;)
Cat's Tongue: The Cookie. Did you know that there is a type of French cookie called the Cat's Tongue (Langue De Chat)??! Am I the only one who is just discovering this in 2020? If you’ve had it or - gasp! know how to manifest it - what does it taste like?
Community Discussion Prompt of the week: Instagram v. IRL
Confession: I am a mamarazzi. (Instagram made me do it!) It’s hardly my fault that my furbaby is endlessly cute and photo-inspiring, right? However, when I catch myself looking at and oohing over photos of Junipurr on my phone while the subject perches in front of me, emanating her signature death stare, I feel … appropriately chastized. Do you, too, struggle with being a present-for-each-moment parent v. a social-media-addicted parent? If you’ve found a way to maintain health boundaries or balance, what is it? Do share!
