How Cats Teach Us to Set Goals Better

Goal setting is often described as a serious, structured process—lists, deadlines, and measurable outcomes. But sometimes the best way to understand it is by looking at it from a very different angle.
Say… from the floor. Preferably while staring at a sunbeam.

Let’s explore goal setting from two perspectives: a human trying to build a meaningful life, and a cat who has already mastered it!

For humans, goal setting is about direction. We set goals to grow, improve, and move closer to the life we imagine for ourselves.

Humans tend to:

  • Think long-term (“Where do I want to be in five years?”)
  • Break goals into steps
  • Track progress
  • Feel motivated—and sometimes overwhelmed

A well-set goal gives structure. It turns vague hopes into clear intentions:

  • I want to get healthier becomes I’ll exercise three times a week.
  • I want to do better in school becomes I’ll study 30 minutes every day.

From the human point of view, goals are about purpose. They help us stay focused when motivation fades and remind us why effort matters.

Now imagine goal setting as a cat.

A cat’s goals might look like this:

  • Sit in the warmest spot in the house ☀️
  • Obtain food (again)
  • Knock object off table for science
  • Nap deeply and without regret

Cats don’t write these goals down. They embody them.

From a cat’s perspective:

  • Goals are immediate and clear
  • There is no guilt about rest
  • Persistence is natural (meow until food happens)
  • Failure just means trying again later

A cat doesn’t worry about yesterday’s missed nap or tomorrow’s meal. The focus is on what matters right now. And somehow, the goals still get met.

Cats may not use planners, but they understand a few things humans often forget:

  1. Rest is part of progress
    Cats nap constantly—and still manage to be fully functional (and dramatic). Humans often burn out by ignoring rest, even though it fuels long-term success.
  2. Confidence matters
    Cats act like they belong everywhere. Approaching goals with quiet confidence—even before you feel “ready”—can make a big difference.
  3. Adjust without self-judgment
    If a cat doesn’t catch the red dot, they don’t spiral into self-criticism. They simply wait for the next chance.

If cats ever decided to attend a goal-setting workshop, they might benefit from:

  • Planning ahead (food doesn’t magically appear… usually)
  • Sharing goals (instead of staring until humans guess)
  • Accepting that not every goal involves snacks

But honestly, they seem pretty satisfied already.

The best approach to goal setting might live somewhere between these two perspectives.

From humans:
✔ Vision
✔ Structure
✔ Long-term growth

From cats:
✔ Presence
✔ Self-trust
✔ Rest without guilt

Set goals that move you forward—but don’t forget to pause in the sunlight once in a while.
After all, even the most ambitious human can learn something from a cat who knows exactly when it’s time to nap. 🐾

New Year, New Beginnings: Moving Forward with Love

As we step into a brand-new year, I find myself pausing in gratitude for everything the old one brought with it—the good, the difficult, and everything in between.

The past year was not without its heartache. Losing my brother is a pain that words can never fully capture, a loss that reshaped my world in ways I’m still learning to understand. Alongside that grief came other challenges, moments that tested my strength and my patience. There were days that felt heavy and uncertain, days when simply moving forward felt like an achievement.

Yet, as I look back, I also recognize that every experience carried a lesson. Each challenge taught me something about resilience, about love, about what truly matters. Even in the hardest moments, there were reminders of kindness, support, and the quiet strength that shows up when we least expect it. For all of that, I am deeply grateful.

Now, I welcome the new year with an open mind and an open heart. I’m choosing to move forward with hope, curiosity, and trust in what’s ahead. This year feels like a fresh page—one filled with possibility, healing, and growth.

I look forward to abundance in every sense of the word: abundance of peace, love, joy, good health, meaningful connections, and opportunities. May this new year bring clarity where there was confusion, light where there was darkness, and gentle reminders that even after loss, life continues to unfold in beautiful ways.

Here’s to honouring the past, embracing the present, and stepping into the new year with hope and gratitude. May it also bring many more kitty kisses and cuddles!

Embracing Gratitude: A Year-End Reflection

As the year comes to a close, I find myself pausing more often—taking stock, breathing deeply, and feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Above all else, I am thankful for health. The simple but profound gift of waking up each day well, for our bodies carrying us through the highs and lows, and for the steady health of our two beloved cats who bring comfort, routine, and so much love into our home. These everyday blessings are never lost on me.

At the same time, loving deeply also means living with anticipatory grief. With a 13-year-old and an 18-year-old cat, there’s a quiet awareness that time is precious. Each extra nap in the sun, each familiar routine, and each gentle purr feels more meaningful. While there’s gratitude for every healthy day we still have together, there’s also a tenderness that comes from knowing how fragile and fleeting these moments can be. This year has taught me to cherish the now even more fiercely.

This year also asked more of my heart than I ever expected. Late August brought the devastating loss of my brother, a moment that forever divided the year into “before” and “after.” The heartbreak of losing him is deep and ongoing. Grief has woven itself into daily life—sometimes heavy and overwhelming, sometimes quiet and reflective. I miss him deeply. Yet even in the pain, I’m grateful for the love we shared and the memories that remain.

Through it all, life continued to offer moments of light: kindness from others, small joys, unexpected laughter, and reminders that even in sorrow, we are still held by blessings. This year taught me that gratitude and grief can coexist—that it’s possible to honor loss while still recognizing the beauty that remains.

As I look ahead to the new year, my heart is full of gratitude for what has sustained us and hopeful for what lies ahead. I’m stepping into the coming year with openness, appreciation, and a quiet faith that more abundance, healing, and blessings will come our way. May the new year bring continued health, gentle moments, and peace—one day at a time.

The Devil’s Perspective: Unveiling Veronica Preston’s Debut Novel

Hello, Readers! It’s me, Kitty Mojito, back on the scene with a brand new interview! 

Today, I’m hanging out with Veronica Preston. She is a Canadian indie author. We will chat about her brand new novel, ‘The Book of the Devil’. Get comfy, this is going to be a purrfect conversation!

KM: Welcome to the chat, Veronica! I’m so paw-sitively excited to have you here! Tell us a little about yourself—what’s your backstory?

VP: Hi Kitty! Thanks so much for having me! I’m an indie fantasy author. I’m drawn to stories that wrestle with good and evil, exploring the hidden spaces in between. Writing is a way for me to ask big questions that don’t always have easy answers. My world is filled with books, notebooks, and—of course—a very insistent cat who keeps me grounded while I’m off exploring mythic realms.

KM: A very insistent cat, huh? You mean you’ve got a feline sidekick too? I’m not surprised. Fantasy sounds like such an exciting genre to dive into! So, how did you get started on your writing journey? What made you put your paw to the pen, so to speak?

VP: It all began with a question that haunted me. What if we heard the Devil’s story from his own perspective? That curiosity grew into pages, and before I knew it, I was building an entire mythic world. I didn’t set out to become an author; the story demanded to be told. So, I just followed where it led!

KM: Meow—that’s a question that really gets your whiskers twitching! But okay, before I dive into all the juicy details, tell me, who are some of your favorite authors? I need to know where you’re getting your cat-like imagination from.

VP: I’m inspired by writers who balance the imaginative with the profound. C.S. Lewis blends philosophy with storytelling. John Milton’s Paradise Lost—what an epic! I also love contemporary thinkers like Eckhart Tolle. Neale Donald Walsch also provides deep insights. They explore the spiritual questions of life. Oh, and I admire indie authors who aren’t afraid to tell the stories that others won’t.

KM: Oooh, I love that! It’s always good to have a little bit of deep thinking mixed in with the adventure. So, tell me—what’s a typical day in the life of an author like? I’m guessing it’s not all cat naps and nibbles, right?

VP: Haha, not quite! Some days, the words just tumble out faster than I can type. Other days, I’m slow and steady—editing, revising, or mapping out the next step of the journey. A lot of it is discipline, showing up even when the muse is quiet. But I also make time for reading and reflecting, which always circles back into my stories.

KM: Purrfect! Now, let’s get down to the meat of the fish—your debut novel, ‘The Book of the Devil’! What an achievement! Tell us the story behind the book. How did this devilish idea come about?

VP: The idea came from a simple question: Has the Devil’s story ever truly been told in full? In most traditions, he’s cast as the villain, but what if that’s only part of the story? What if his fall was about more than just disobedience—what if it was a struggle with pride, loyalty, and love? From that question, Nahar came to life. It’s a mythic world filled with Jinn, angels, and divine forces. And here, the Devil (as Iblis) gets to speak for himself for the first time.

KM: That’s a claw-some concept! I’m already hooked! What do you want readers to know about your book? Anything you’d like them to take away from it?

VP: Well, it’s not a book that glorifies darkness. Instead, it confronts choice—things like free will, forgiveness, pride, and rebellion. These aren’t just abstract concepts in the story; they’re part of the human experience too. I hope readers close the book with more questions than answers. I also hope they feel the courage to wrestle with those questions.

KM: Mmm, wrestling with questions… sounds like some real cat philosophy to me! Now, the Devil’s story is controversial. Do you think people are ready to take a closer look at him?

VP: Controversy only proves the power of the story. The Devil is one of the most enduring figures in human imagination, yet we rarely ask why he’s so significant. For me, exploring his story isn’t about endorsing rebellion. It’s about understanding the human heart. This includes its pride, longing for freedom, and wish for belonging. I don’t claim to solve the mystery, but I want readers to step into it and ask their own questions.

KM: Paws up—you’re onto something there. Now, what does the future hold for Veronica Preston? What can readers look forward to next?

VP: ‘The Book of the Devil: Genesis’ is the first in a trilogy, and the journey doesn’t stop there. The next two books—Purgatory and Revelation—will dive even deeper into the stakes and choices. Beyond the trilogy, I hope to keep creating stories that are daring, philosophical, and mythic. I want my tales to linger in readers’ minds long after they’ve closed the book.

KM: Oh, I can’t wait to see what’s next! This is going to be one wild ride. Thanks for chatting with me today, Veronica! You’ve made my whiskers tingle with excitement!

VP: Thank you, Kitty! This has been so much fun. I can’t wait for readers to dive into the world of ‘The Book of the Devil’.

Celebrating Kitty Mojito and Lynx: Life Updates

Hello Readers!

It has been a minute since we last chatted! We hope the last 7 months have been treating you well!

First, we want to thank you for still being here with us! We appreciate your love and support!

We are here with an update on Kitty Mojito and Lynx!

They are both doing well and have now entered their golden years!
Kitty Mojito turned 13 this year and we celebrated by throwing a camper themed birthday in April! Lynx will be 18 in a couple of months and we hope to celebrate his milestone birthday in Jasper!

So what have we been up to in the last few months?
At the start of 2025, we set a goal to be more intentional with our time this year. We have been working hard to keep that goal. We enjoy weekend fun and have been doing fun things with the kitties as much as we can.

There have been several highlights this year. We were a part of the Edmonton International Cat Festival. Lynx had his first Meet and Greet at the Edmonton Pet Expo. We were also invited to the first pitch throw at an Edmonton Riverhawks game! We also went on a mini getaway with the kitties to Sylvan Lake! Head over to our Instagram @kittymojito to check out photos!

We are so grateful for all the blessings in our life, especially our two wonderful kitties. As they get older, our time with them is short. We strive to create as many memories with them as possible. We are looking ahead to some summer fun and can’t wait to share them with you all!

Let us know how 2025 has been treating you so far! We would love to know what you have been up to!

Happy New Year 2025!

It has been a minute hasn’t it? Let’s start off by saying Happy New Year 2025!

We wish you all a wonderful year filled with positivity, joy and happiness!

Kitty Mojito and Lynx are doing well! They had a great holiday season! We visited Canmore just before Christmas and got an opportunity to stay at the wonderful Coast Canmore Hotel! Christmas in the mountains is just magical,

This year is a milestone year for both kitties! Kitty Mojito will be turning 13 in April (birthday party planned!) and Lynx will be turning 18 in October!

We hope to take them out on more adventures when the weather gets warmer. Our winter has been quite brutal so far so they have been indoors for the most part.

This year, we want to make sure we make as many memories with the kitties as possible. As they get older, we don’t know how much time they have left with us. So, making everyday special and taking as many photos and videos while planning special getaways with them is our goal for 2025!

Let’s hear your goals for 2025! Let us know in the comments!

Katdid Konversation with Uno & Dos

Hi everyone and welcome to another episode of Katdid Konversation with me, your host, Kitty Mojito!

I am super excited to be welcoming two very special guests today!

Please say hello to Uno and Dos!

Uno (right) and Dos (left)

KM: Welcome to Katdid Konversations, Uno & Dos! I am so excited to chat with you both today!

U: Thanks for having us, Kitty Mojito! It is nice to see you again!

D: Yes, thank you so much for inviting us for this chat!

KM: Uno, it is nice to see you too! We haven’t had a chance to catch up since Edmonton International Cat Festival! That sure was fun, wasn’t it? (Uno nods in agreement and high paws Kitty!)

Guys, let’s start by telling us a little bit about yourself and how you came to find your human?

U: I am 11 years old and I am originally from Minnesota.  I was about 2 years old and wandering around a dumpster when I heard a human meow at me. I was underweight and had bacteria in both my ears, so I meowed back and ran up to her. She took me to her apartment to find my “family,” but when she realized I had no microchip (and after no one responded to the “missing” posts she put online), her home became my FURever home!

D: I am almost 3 years old and from California. I was only a few weeks old when I was abandoned at a park. I was scared, so I followed an indoor/outdoor cat to their home, and then sat outside their human’s front door until they let me in. These humans didn’t have enough space to keep me, so they contacted Kat (who wanted a second cat). After a successful playdate with Uno (the cat she’s had for 8+ years), Kat officially adopted me and Uno accepted me as his long-lost brother. 

KM: That is amazing. You both had rough starts to your lives but now have a wonderful, forever home! Can you describe a day in your life?

U: I usually start my day laying next to my human’s head and purring as loud as possible until she wakes up and gets me wet food. Since my human works from home, I usually spend the day sleeping next to her while she works. After she finishes her workday, she usually takes me out for a walk or on an adventure to meet other people and pets. In the evening, I split my time between taking naps and wrestling with Dos.

D: I start my day sleeping in until I see my human start her workday. Throughout her workday, I like to meow at her and attack her feet whenever she seems like she’s on an important call. After she finishes her workday, she takes me on an outdoor leashed walk. Then, I spend the rest of the evening playing and wrestling with my brother, Uno.

Dos

KM: Let’s talk about 2 very important things, food and toys! Now, do you each have a favourite food and toy?

U: I love wet food! As for toys,  I prefer going on outdoor leashed walks and wrestling with Dos, but sometimes when I see Dos really get into a toy, I like to steal it from him and play with it.

D: I really enjoy dry food and yes, Uno does steal my toys once in a while! I LOVE STRING TOYS AND TOYS THAT MAKE A LOT OF NOISE. MY FAVORITE TIME TO PLAY WITH MY LOUD TOYS IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN MY HUMAN IS TRYING TO SLEEP.

U: Calm down, boy! You are going make Kitty Mojito go deaf with all this yelling! Yes, we all know you LOVE your noisy toys! Geez!

KM: You boys are so funny! What do you both do for fun?

U: I like going on outdoor leashed walks. I love meeting new people and getting pets and attention. I also like wrestling with my younger brother and showing him who the boss is.

D: I love playing with toys, sitting on the patio and keeping an eye on the neighborhood, looking out windows and spying on the neighbors, and wrestling with my brother.

Uno

KM: Let’s talk about your sibling relationship. What is the dynamic like between the two of you?

U: For me, it feels like we knew each other in another life. We like each other. We usually sleep within a few feet of each other. We cuddle. We play wrestle. We love each other!

D: I think Uno is the best big brother ever! Even though he is older, he still plays with me! I love him so much!

KM: That is so sweet! What a lovely bond you have with each other! Now, we know you are social media superstars! How do you handle the fame? What do you like/don’t like about social media?

U & D: We like social media. You can use it to learn more about the world around you. You can use it to gather information and learn to become the best pet (or person) you can be & better serve the world around you. As for being superstars! LOL… the best thing about it is that we get to spend more time with our human because we get to make content together! ❤️

KM: Yes, social media can be amazing! If you both could make one wish, what would it be?

U & D: We would wish for all cats (and people) to always have good food and a safe place to call home.

Uno and Kat

KM: Is there anything you would like to accomplish in the near future?

U: We hope our content continues to entertain and encourage folks to be the best pet parents they can be.

KM: I think all your fans can agree that your content brings great joy! We love watching your videos! Finally, before we wrap things up, what is one message you would like to share with the world?

U & D: It doesn’t matter how many ears you have on your head, all that matters is the love you have in your heart ❤️

KM: Those are some wise words, my friends! Uno and Dos, it has been a pleasure talking to you both. You are both amazing and your mom, Kat is such a wonderful person too! Please give her my love!

Go Away Stay Here – A Pet Friendly Airbnb Review!

Welcome to Go Away Stay Here, a wonderful pet friendly Airbnb in Ma-Me-O Beach, Alberta, Canada!

While looking for a place for a short weekend getaway, we came across a cozy cabin named ‘Go Away Stay Here’ at Ma-Me-O Beach, Alberta. We’ve seen some photos and reviews of it on social media and thought it might be a good place to try! Located on Pigeon Lake at Ma-Me-O Beach, which is one of Alberta’s favourite white sand beaches, this cozy getaway is only minutes away from the Village at Pigeon Lake and an hour drive from Edmonton.

The first thing we noticed when we checked into the cabin was the large space! Wow! The kitties were thrilled that they had so much room to explore. The entire cabin was impeccably decorated and well stocked with everything we needed!

With 4 rooms and 2 full baths, the cabin comfortably accommodates 8 guests! It was stocked with games, books and records so that you can enjoy a wonderful time with family and friends! Oh, did I mention that there is a fireplace?

The large screened in deck was our favourite space! The kitties absolutely loved hanging out there, watching the birds and squirrels in the backyard. Speaking of backyard, we loved how spacious it was. You can easily gather around the firepit for some smores on a summer night! Kitty Mojito enjoyed her walks in the yard while taking in all that fresh air.

One of the main reasons we loved this cabin was that it is really designed to keep the guests, human and pets alike, cozy and comfortable. With luxurious bedding and bath amenities to using all natural cleaners and bug repellent around the property, one can tell that the hosts really put a lot of thought into everything. Keeping the kitties safe was our main priority so having an enclosed deck not only gave us peace of mind, but it brought Kitty Mojito and Lynx so much joy!

The cabin was also only a 5-minute drive from the Village at Pigeon Lake, a small shopping center which had all the essentials such as a grocery store, a couple of restaurants as well as some gift shops. So any last-minute shopping needs can be easily achieved here!

We definitely plan on going back again, maybe in the summertime so that we can enjoy the beach as well. It was quite windy this time around, so the kitties didn’t visit the beach.

We give Go Away Stay Here a big thumbs up! It is definitely the best pet friendly Airbnb we have stayed at so far and worth checking out!

Katdid Konversation with Cappy

Hello friends and welcome to another episode of Katdid Konversation with me, Kitty Mojito!

Today, we are welcoming a very special guest, our dear furriend Cappy of Cappybears fame!

Cappy with his mom, Katie Beth

KM: Cappy, welcome to Katdid Konversations! I am so excited to finally talk to you!

C: I am so happy to be here, Kitty Mojito! Thank you for having me!

KM: Let’s start from the beginning! I know that you are originally from Dubai and now living with your wonderful family in Nashville! How did you come to find your human?

C: I was found alone, paralyzed, in the streets of Dubai! I was taken to a vet clinic, and they saved my life. I had to lose my tail but that is ok! A rescue helped me fly to America where I was in foster care for several months. An Instagram follower sent my mom a DM about me. That was it! They shared a post of me, and it went from there. She applied, and I waited. And then her application was accepted, and I traveled across the country to meet my new mom! I suffer from paresis which is partial paralysis. Don’t be fooled! Special needs kitties like me can live a long and fulfilling life! We just need a little extra help!

KM: Wow, what an origin story! How lucky that you were able to find a forever home with your family! What does your daily life look it?

C: Morning meows and snuggles with my mom, run down the stairs, morning tinkle expression, breakfast, get dressed, snooze, acupuncture appointment, snooze, afternoon tinkles, dinner, family snuggles, evening tinkles, pajamas, and bed, hehe.

KM: That is definitely a busy and fulfilling day! We love watching your daily vlogs! Do you have a favorite treat?

C: I sure do love me some Churus!

KM: Oh yes! We love our tube treats too! They are definitely one of our favourites! From what I have seen on your videos, you enjoy lots of play! If you had to choose one toy to play with, what would that be?

C: My feather wand brings out my inner kitty instincts. My mind is nourished, and spirit feels so free. 

KM: Amazing! Do you have any special skills?

C: I hold the record for world’s quickest Churu nibbler!

KM: You are so funny, Cappy! I think you are also the world’s best kitty poet since you are so good with your words! When you are not eating Churus, what do you like to do for fun?

C: Snuggle, snooze, snackies! I live the most fulfilled life!

KM: Let’s talk about siblings. Now, I know you lost your brother, Lele, not too long ago. He was so special, wasn’t he?

C: Yes, I miss him so much, every single day. He was the best brother! We shared a wonderful relationship! Now, I have a younger brother, Hadley. Hadley Bear is a rescue dog from the local shelter. We have mutual respect for one another, but I still can get a little spooked. I’m just a little kitty, after all! I’ve never been an older brother before, and setting an example is very important. Sometimes, my mom clips my claws in front of Hadley to show it is okay. He continues to build his confidence each day. I am very impressed. 

KM: It is so lovely to see the relationship you have with Hadley grow daily. Sometimes, it is hard to adjust to a new sibling. I am still having trouble with my big brother, Lynx, who joined us about 5 years ago. Cappy, you are super famous, with almost 2M followers across your social media channels! What do you like or don’t like about social media?

C: Social media is a great way for me to sparkle and shine like the star I am. I have no complaints. 

KM: You got that right! You are definitely a star! Your mom is a great advocate for special needs kitties and that makes you a role model to all of us! If you could make one wish, what would it be?

C: I wish for all humans to experience life with their soul pet.

KM: That is so sweet! Before we wrap up, tell us about something you would like to accomplish in the near future and also your message to the world?

C: I really love this life!  I hope to encourage and inspire others to take a chance on caring for disabled animals. It is really important that we give disabled pets a chance and open our homes and hearts!

KM: Absolutely! We should all be more open to adopting disabled, special needs and senior pets! They deserve a forever home and a life of safety and love. Thank you so much Cappy! This was such a wonderful chat! Look forward to seeing you and Hadley flourish even more!

Katdid Konversation with Princess Honeybelle

Welcome to another episode of Katdid Konversations! I am your host, Kitty Mojito!

Today, we have an extra special guest all the way from Melbourne, Australia! You may know her as an award winning, world-renowned baker, fashionista & celebrity! Say hello to Princess Honeybelle!

KM: Welcome to Katdid Konversations, Honey! You have no idea how excited I am to chat with you! I have been a fan for so long!!

H: Thanks so much for inviting me, Kitty! I am so happy to be here!

KM: Wow! I am fan-girling so hard! Lynxy will be so mad that he is missing out on this chat! He is obsessed with you! First of all, let me congratulate you on your AiMCO awards and for being featured on TIME Magazine! What an accomplishment!

H: Thank you so much! We are so grateful for being recognized for all our hard work!

KM: Let’s go back to the beginning! How did you come to find your humans?

H: I was at a shelter/vet with my 2 sisters and brother, and my pawrents had come in because they had sadly just lost their new kitten. They were there to pick up her memorial paw prints, and they saw and fell in love with me! 

KM: Wow! It was fate that your pawrents found you! It was meant to be! Can you describe a day in your life?

H: I like to start my mornings with a little singing, followed by some professional door climbing and parkour. Once my pawrents have woken up and appreciated my skills, I box with my brother, Mocha, while we wait for breakfast to be prepared. Then, I like to lounge on my little pink chair and watch the birds, or sometimes I help my Meowmy bake something in the kitchen and film a video. My brother, Kody and I also go outside to the backyard to get some fresh air and hang out on the grass if the weather is nice. The afternoons are for napping in the sunshine on my pink fluffy bed until dinner time. The rest of the evening is for walking and singing on my cat wheel, which is my favourite thing! I always demand an audience, and I will walk on it for hours. When it gets close to midnight, Meowmy will make me a couch tent and I’ll settle down and sleep, until it’s time to start singing again!

KM: I can definitely relate to the singing! I like to sing and try to play fetch with mama at 2am every morning! But she is always so grumpy about it! Now, as a talented baker, I know you work a lot with food! Do you have a favourite item you like to eat?

H: I LOVE liquid cat treats, and pink cupcake frosting as a special treat!

KM: Frosting!!! Is it yummy??? I have never had it! It sounds delicious! Let’s talk about toys! If you had to choose one toy to play with, what would that be?

H: It would definitely be my favourite plastic milk ring. I carry it around like it’s my baby! 

KM: That is so cute! My favourite is hair ties! I love to toss them around and play fetch with the pawrents! Honey, you and your siblings are worldwide celebrities! Can you share a bit about your journey from household kitties to social media superstars?

H: You are too kind, Kitty! We don’t really see ourselves as celebrities! We are everyday kitties who love to create content to make you smile! Our Meowmy started our page as a way to document my growth and as a fun way to be creative and meet new people! We quickly gained lots of new followers, especially during COVID, and eventually, Meowmy began working on the page full time. We love it, because now, it’s her job to spend so much time with all of us!

KM: That sounds like the best job in the world! We are HUGE fans of your page! Our mama has made many bakes from your recipe videos! When you are not busy making videos, what do you like to do for fun?

H: I love walking around the yard as I just love exploring! I also love to walk on my wheel!

KM: Oh yes! I love exploring too! My favourite thing to do is walk around in the garden area and eat all the grass! Now, I know you have siblings! Tell us a bit about your relationship with them.

H: I have 2 older brothers, Kody and Mocha. Kody is a very protective older brother and looks out for me, but also isn’t afraid to play fight with me! Mocha has always been a little wary of me, and sometimes I bully him around, even though he’s 11 years older! I am only 4 so I am the baby of the family!

Honey (on pink chair), Mocha (inside pink house), Kody (on cat tree)

KM: We love Kody and Mocha! They are so handsome and so talented, just like you! Instagram is a great place to make friends. What do you like/ don’t like about social media?

H: Social media can be wonderful for finding all the good things about humanity, but it can also highlight the bad things. I love that you can find others to connect with that share your passions, you can learn so much from different cultures and perspectives, and it can help show you that you’re not alone in what you may be experiencing. I don’t like how easy it is for hate to be anonymous and misinformation to spread.

KM: Yes, you are so right! We are so grateful to have met amazing friends like you on social media! We love being part of such a great cat community. But it does make us sad that some people just seem to enjoy bringing others down by being so mean! We need more love all around! If you could make one wish, what would it be?

H: I would wish that no kitty ever experiences any pain or sadness.

KM: That is a wonderful wish, Honey! Let’s pray that it comes true! Is there anything you would like to accomplish in the near future?

H: I am planning on writing a cookbook this year!

KM: OMG! I cannot wait to get my paws on a copy! You heard it here first, folks! THERE IS A PRINCESS HONEYBELLE COOKBOOK IN THE WORKS!!!! Before we wrap up this wonderful chat, what is one message you would like to share with the world?

H: Please adopt from a shelter/rescue & spay/ neuter your pets! If you can’t adopt at the moment, support them with a monetary donation or with much needed supplies like food & litter. If you can’t donate money, volunteer your time. Every little bit helps to save and improve the lives of cats. 💖

KM: Well said, Honey! It is so important that we work together to improve the lives of all animals! Thank you so much for taking time to chat with me today! I can’t wait to see all the other amazing things that you will be sharing with us in the future!
