Hey there  #TeamCatMojo ! It's been awhile, but tomorrow morning at 10:30am PST, I’m dropping a video about a cat named Gato - a tough little guy who went from emaciated and flea-ridden to being ready for a forever home. Tune in as I work with him to see if he’s truly ready to find his perfect match...This one’s close to my heart, so don’t miss it! 

Hey gang! I’m teaming up with a fantastic veterinarian friend of mine to answer some of YOUR questions! Got something you’ve been wondering about your cat’s health or behavior? Drop your questions in the comments and you might see them answered in our upcoming video!🙌

The loss of an animal family member is a deeply personal experience, yet it resonates with universal truths. Regardless of your companion's species, whether you grew up with them or were a week-long foster parent to a bottle baby or hospice senior, whether you are anticipating their loss or trying to find the right time to let them go, whether they passed away twenty years ago or were suddenly taken from you yesterday, we can all agree on one thing: grief is transformative -- and it can be an emotional minefield. Grief hurts in a way that feels as if it will completely consume us, and to know grief is to know the pain of being completely powerless.

Why, then, do we add guilt and shame to the already intense pain of loss? Why do we choose to lose precious moments with the ones we love and risk clouding the legacy of our beautiful bond with them by punishing ourselves with resentment and regret? Join me and Grief Counselor, Stephanie Rodriguez for a Cat Camp virtual grief session, where we will explore the self-destructive side of loss and how to reclaim this sacred time and space by fully surrendering to and embracing our grief. This special event takes place this Sunday, May 19th at 12p PT/3pm ET. Like I said above, tickets are LIMITED and available at CatCamp.com. ❤️‍🩹  #Grief   #Grieving 

2/2 

It’s been three weeks since I had to say goodbye (for now) to my cat Caroline. The process of vlogging her final months was hard but really rewarding - in part because I was sharing it with all of you. For three weeks, I’ve been feeling less settled and thinking, “Now what?” Join me this Saturday morning at 9:30am PT and I’ll tell you how it’s been, and hopefully we can all help one another talk about love and loss. Joining me will be my good friend and partner in Cat Camp grief classes, Stephanie Rodriguez, to help me (and hopefully you!) process loss. I hope you can make it! 

It is with an enormous amount of sorrow that I have to let you all know that our Caroline succumbed to pancreatic cancer on Tuesday afternoon. She was surrounded by her human and animal family, and was showered with love and safety, as she was helped to transition peacefully.

Beyond our grief - from the loss of her presence in our lives as we have known it for 16 years and from our own pain as we begin to mourn that loss - I am feeling so much gratitude. 

I’m thankful for the amount of time we had with her, considering she was given “days to weeks” and miraculously, lived almost four precious months instead. 

I’m grateful because in the silence of her passing, in the late afternoon peace of our catio, I felt her joy as she shook off the weight of her broken body and assumed her place in the realm of spirit energy. 

And finally, I’m grateful for the support and love that you have graced Minoo and I with during this journey. 

I was so conflicted when I began chronicling our story in a vlog, but with every episode I released, I was reminded that I am surrounded by a community that knows what the love for and from an animal truly means, and who lives in the light of that love, especially when faced with the loss of that family member. 

I will share the final installment of the vlog this weekend, but in the meantime, here’s to my wonderful, beautiful little girl. We miss you more with every passing minute as we wish you safe travels to your next adventure. 

Our sweet Caroline, we love you so much. 

Hey Gang! You may have seen that I recently shared how I found a kitten under a car and rescued him while I was traveling...Well, his name is Gerald, and here he is in his new loving home! I created a video that shares more about his rescue story - tune in this Friday at noon Pacific to watch Gerald's story! 

Here's a picture of Caroline and I right before I had to leave for a two-week trip. That is the theme of this week's Caroline Cancer Journal vlog: the worry and guilt that I have to contend with while leaving a cat in hospice at home. There is no blueprint for anticipatory grief... so the best I can do is share it with you guys and keep myself grounded by telling you this story. Thank you all for being here, for your kind words, and gifts that you've passed on to both me and Caroline. We both appreciate it.
