  • Pushka is Coming Home

    Tomorrow, I’ll drive over to Portugal to pick up this very special old lady šŸ„°šŸ˜šŸ„¹ 10 years ago, when I adopted her in Malta, I promised her I would never abandon her. But then life had other plans. Thankfully, dearest, sweet, old Pushka, I managed to keep my promise to you after all. It’s been a…

  • Precious Moments

    My just recently adopted, old, toothless partner in crime is teaching me so much about life. About pausing every now and then to appreciate what we have instead of worrying about what we donā€™t have. About enjoying those almost imperceptible rays of sunshine. Most of all, he teaches me about love. I guess because we…

  • JoJo

    I need to rave a bit more about this cat. Itā€™s incredible to think that, had I not decided to hike from Switzerland to the Mediterranean Sea and, had I not spontaneously decided to stay in Montpellier for a few months, JoJo and I would never have met. I rescued him from the streets of…

    Itā€™s been a while since my last post. But, Iā€™ll do my best over the coming months to keep you all posted on a weekly or at least bi-weekly basis. Lockdown has become less strict here in the South of France which is quite fabulous. We can now venture out for three hours a day,…

Two months of hiking have brought me from Brugg in Switzerland to Montpellier in France. A city I immediately clicked with on so many levels. Which is why, as…

  • Boo, Lara, and Bocelli

    Thinking of this little family today. I found them in a pet store in Macau, in 2010. They had just been rescued from the street. A cat with three kittens. All of them were horribly sick. They had any infection you could think ofā€¦ cat flu, ear infections, eye infections, ringworm, etc. One of the…

  • Halfway Around The World

    Everything has come to a halt here during the last two months as I have prepared to send our cats halfway around the planet. All vaccinations and paperwork have been taken care of, three cargo boxes are at the ready, stuffed with an old blanket I’ve slept on for a month so I can travel…

  • Pushka

    Whenever I write, she is right there with me, patiently purring, in sync with the flowing ink…
