So. Adam always makes fun of Erika (A.K.A. “Human-Mom”) for having cat-friends who (let’s be real) are total jerks. Every other moment they are perched on her neck. Or under her elbows. Or on her upper-arms. It makes writing a challenge. Kind of like when the physical therapist has you walking with those weights strapped…

Finishing a Poem (Big Cat, Little Cat)
Big Cat has decided to draw on his experiences (sitting on his Human-Mom’s head while she’s trying to write poetry; and listening in on conversations with Human-Mom’s friends when they trade poems back and forth) to bring you this handy guide. Which you shouldn’t really need. I mean. Finishing a poem can’t be that hard,…
It’s Caturday and We have Questions: Introvert
Little Cat has been having a quiet week, living the introvert life since his recent attempt to take Orlando by storm. He’s been staying home mostly. Enjoying the time spent alone. Trying to take joy in the little things. You know, like in stepping on Human-Mom’s head while she tries to write. Yowling at birds…
Big Cat, Little Cat: Obscenities
This week was a big week for Little Cat in particular. Got out a bit. Learned some new obscenities. All in all a good week. He escaped while Human-Mom (a.k.a. Erika) was taking in the groceries. He made it as far as Orlando and visited a cat-house. (Please nobody tell him. Yeah, Little Cat puts…
It’s Caturday and We have Questions: Distractions
So Erika (a.k.a. Human-Mom) was doing some typing the other day with her three cats sitting on her like tiny royalty. Every time she tried to reach the keyboard it seemed like there was a cat’s butt in her way. Distractions, am I right? Such are the tribulations of a writer. And yet. Erika loves…
It’s Caturday and We Have Questions: Spoilers!
What constitutes a Spoiler: A Philosophical Dialogue It’s Caturday, and Big Cat and Little Cat have been discussing spoilers while they’re waiting for Middle Cat to get back from that spa with the new hair-barfing cleanse. And what they’re discussing, of course, is spoilers. It all started when Little Cat spoiled a scene in The…
Caturday Questions: Books that Inspire
Some people read books for pleasure. Some for research. Some as a way of playing with children. Some a bit of all three. But many writers will read books that inspire them in their writing–whether they’re writing fanfic or not. Big Cat likes to read Shakespeare even when he’s writing short stories because those long…
It’s Caturday and We Have Questions
Frob and Widget are enjoying the mild Florida weather. All the moreso because they know that people elsewhere in the northern hemisphere are freezing their tails off. It’s the little things, after all, that give spice to this thing we call life. Just like when they hunt birds. They don’t necessarily want to catch them…
It’s Caturday and We Have Questions
There are a lot of reasons for us to think about our heros and those who inspire us right now. The felines have been lionizing Jorts lately, and want to remind all creatures to lend a hand and not be cat-butterers. Frob tells us that he admires Hobbes–his beautiful orange coat and his bravery make…
It’s Caturday and We Have Questions
Hey, all! Big Cat and Little Cat are curious about mentorship today. They wanted to start by thanking the teachers who long ago taught them to sit on Erika’s keyboard…or face when she’s trying to write. It seems to come so naturally to them. Turns out there’s a technique to it. Who knew? Anyway, drop…
