BC and the Six Pack o’ Trouble…
No, that’s not a new rock band. It refers to Yours Truly and my merry herd of six cats. I’m the new blogger here on WeHeartCats.com, and I’m looking forward to meeting some new friends here. As way of introduction, I also write the garden blog over on the Earthly Garden site, am a writer, book author, avid gardener, and of course, extreme cat herder.
My Husband (just one) and I are owned by six cats….Blanca Margarita Ann (my editor), her sister Roja Consuela Ann, Ginger Snap Ann, Izzie June and her sister Missy Jane, and Louie Edward, AKA “Mr. Big.” He’s the token male in the bunch who fancies himself as the Cat Casanova.
I’ll be telling stupid cat stories, pointing you to interesting and useful stuff online, maybe reviewing some books, posting links and lots of photos. Cause if there’s something I have, it’s LOTS of cat photos!
And speaking of which, here’s Ms. Blanca now, with her own pet sock monkey, Tater Chip.
Blanca and Roja (AKA “The Flying Enchilada Sisters”) are Maine Coon mixes. The others are tabby, Calicoes and whatnot. They are all shelter cats, or former strays that had the nerve to show up on my porch. Sigh.
So, there you have it. I think that’s enough to absorb for one day. I’ll be back on Monday!
Spread some catnip love!

Good luck with the new blog! I like cats but I don’t have one anymore. My fiancee is also really really allergic to them… BUT she loves cats so it sucks. Maybe you could write about cat allergies and what you could do about them or something? I dunno. Just a thought. Again, good luck!

Hi! I’m so glad to see more pet blogs! I share your love of photographing animals, except I own dogs!

Hi Paul! Thanks! I’m sort of allergic to cats, too. There are products on the market that you can use, but I haven’t tried them yet. I just try to treat my allergies in general. We do vacuum a lot, have tile or wooden floors, and I got rid of most of my upholstered furniture a long time ago. I used to be more allergic than I am now, so hopefully some of these ideas are working.
I think the current issue of Cat Fancy magazine has an article about allergies. I’ll go check and do a post about it later on.

Hi marlena!
I love dog photos, too. We don’t have any dogs now. Our neighbor across the street has a lot of dogs. Some of hers were found abandoned on our property, and they were kind enough to take them in. Sometimes I think a dog would be good to help keep the cats in line, but I figure the poor thing would freak out. LOL
