Over the past month I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to write a pair of articles for the Canidae pet food blog. A goal of mine has been to use Mochas, Mysteries and Meows as a launch pad of sorts to expand into freelance cat writing so our paws are crossed that I'll be asked to continue writing for them. I'm happy to say that my first article on debunking feral cat myths has had over 130 shares in just one week and has a good chance of being included in Canidae's monthly email of 10 articles with the most views!
While researching my second article on the pros and cons of sleeping with your cat I starting browsing through some photos of the sweet way Truffles used to spend part of the night curled up between my legs. (Mudpie prefers sleeping on top of or against them.) As the 3 year anniversary of losing her is in sight I'm doing better at focusing on the happy times when I think of her instead of just the soul-crushing grief and shock. That certainly still rears it's ugly head from time to time, and I still miss her more than words can say, but Truffles would want me to remember her with a smile and not a tear.
