Animals
Ready for my Close-up
Well, my little self-groomers, my photo shoot for the Humane Society of London-Middlesex 2021 calendar is booked! Here’s the scoop.

House Rules
Greetings my little moth chasers! Thank you for visiting to see what’s what in my world.
…Doot Doot Do
I’m lookin’ out our new back door!
…Sugar’s Fab Fifteen
Hello my little pole scratchers! You know that old cliche, you’re not getting older, you’re getting better? Well, it’s true! This I know, because today I celebrate my fifteenth birthday!

The Art of the Nap
Hellos my lovelies! How’s your hairball today? Mine’s slung low and to the left.
…
Old Bugs and New Muse
Hello cats and kittens and welcome back to my mental scratching post! You’re as appreciated here as a piece of tuna dropped on the floor. Thank you for returning to find out what I’m up to.
…
Calendar Girl
You – yes, you – you’re my favourite! Thank you for voting for me to become a pin-up gal. It was a real claw-biter of an ending to land in the top 12 out of millions and millions of animals vying for the 2021 Humane Society of London & Middlesex calendar. Cuddle up on a fuzzy throw and I’ll tell you all about it.

Cat’s Height Gallery
Hello, my sweets! I’ve been thinking. It’s a wonder the neck of a cat isn’t as long as a giraffe’s. We spend so much of our time looking up. Everything we want to see is many miles above us. This is why we love climbing up onto things like bookshelves and roofs. It’s from such a perch that we’re able to finally look down on the world.

Cats and Dogs II
Greetings my little fur shedders! Welcome back to my fuzzy space on the Interweb. Today, I present some evidence I received of cats and dogs finding ways to overcome their biases and forging friendships and developing affection for one another.
…Not Storming the Castle
Welcome once again my little litter diggers! I trust you are coping well through this strangest of ages in which we find ourselves. Today, I want to tell you about Mother’s failed attempt to entertain me with her craft-making ways.
…Playing Dress Up
Human beans are getting bored with being stuck at home. It feels like it’s been nearly forever since the panda-emic began, and we were all told to stay in our houses and self deprecate. But once again, my attitude is gratitude and I’ll tell you exactly why.

The Truth About Cats and Dogs
Never did I imagine I’d attract so much attention by putting paws to a keyboard. Every week, I receive wonderful emails and photos of happy kitties. Fur-fan letters, if you will. It warms the inner recesses of my squishy, feline heart.

Miss Sugar: A Day in My Life
4 am. Stretch out on my sheepskin on the ottoman at the foot of the bed. Emit mid-level meow to alert human beans to the upcoming arrival of breakfast time. I love how my sweet voice pierces the dark silence before dawn.

Come On Get Happy
Upon long and careful reflection, mostly attained during frequent naps, I have figured out the secret to happiness. Actually, my little Furminators, there isn’t just one secret. There are a few of them. But they all centre on the same basic principle: think about others instead of just yourself.
…Cabin Fever Hits Home
I’ve heard that there are unevolved human beans out there who think, oh, it’s just the cat. They don’t appreciate our sensitive nature or the deep, inner conflict we feel about too much togetherness. Well, look out people because I’m having a moment that’s approaching a cat-astrophe! If I don’t get some alone time soon, I’m going to lose my trademark composure. If I could hold a pen, I’d write a strongly worded letter to the authorities and ask them to please go somewhere, anywhere, for just a while. I love them – I really do – but if I had claws, I’d climb the walls.

Cat People, People Cat
Hello, again my lovely self-groomers! We three remain housebound where naps are taken and nothing else is taken very seriously, except physical distancing from others. I was made for this. When I don’t have to worry about someone blocking my access to the food bowl, or grabbing my tail, I’m in heaven.
…Dis Business of Distancing
I’m not entirely sure what’s happening, my fellow litter diggers, but I’m happy to share what’s been going on.
