It's official... I'm back from hiatus! Hold your excitement. I went back to university on the 18th of August and, as those who have been following me for a while know, that also meant I went back to work. I needed a few weeks to get into the swing of things before I could properly blog, but now I think I'm settled into the routine of class, work, class, work, tiny smidge of social life, class, work. It's time to add blogging to the schedule again.

The little one had her tail.

But, now that we're talking about university and work, I have to wonder... Why can't 'cat person' be a career path? Okay, so I know that I would probably want a little more out of life, but some days I think a good year of coffee, cat cuddles and Netflix would be absolute perfection. Why is 'cat lady' seen as such a bad thing nowadays? As an official owner of two fluffballs, I totally understand the appeal of wanting all the cats.


Okay, so the real purpose of this post was to ask for forgiveness for my hiatus and try to win you over with a few cat pictures. Did it work?

Allow me to introduce you to my precious little fur baby, LuLu Mae. While she was originally named after the always classy and sophisticated Audrey Hepburn-- her character in Breakfast at Tiffanys was named LuLu Mae before she changed her name to Holly Golightly-- she now goes by some, er, less than classy nicknames: Fluffy Butt, Stinky, and Fluffers to name a few. I guess that last one isn't so bad.



When I finished my first year at university, my previous cat Whiskers succumbed to old age. She had been my best friend since she wondered up to my family's mailbox when I was only four years old. Some say it isn't the best idea to get another pet so soon after the loss of one, but I missed the jingle of her little collar bell and just the love I always received from Whiskers, so two weeks after she passed I took a trip to the local animal shelter.


I went in with the intention of adopting an older cat (something I strongly recommend for many reasons) but the kittens are the first stop in the shelter and I had to stop in and take a look. That is when I saw this little dearie, sitting shyly in a little ball surrounded by her three very hyper brothers. Oh, my family and I thought, she seems like such a calm kitty. And she reminded us of our Whiskers, which of course stole our hearts. We adopted her instantly.


We believe she is part Norwegian Forest cat and we know she is 99% fur. Little Fluff was one of my first models when I got my new camera, and I'm sure she'll continue to be one of my best. Welieve she is part Norwegian Forest cat and we know she is 99% fur.

Likes: Food, knocking things off countertops, staring at birds, lounging.

Dislikes: Vacuum cleaners, loud cars, thunderstorms.

Tell me about your pets! LuLu is the only pet I have, but I take care of strays, birds, and squirrels in the area-- hey, what can I say? I love animals, even the non-pet kinds.
