Ultimate Vacuuming Power…in an itty bitty living space… (Yes, that was a reference to Aladdin. I was a child of the 90s, ok?) I’m sure I’ve mentioned it, but I’ll say it again: My husband and I live in a very small (and very fabulous) loft, so we’re always looking for ways to conserve space […]

Product Review: The Anti Cat Barf Device
I have two cats with two distinctly different feeding requirements. Roxie Loves to Eat Roxie is a fat cat. Her favorite hobby is what one might call “gorge and purge“.
