Hi everybody. Mama’s been such a good secretary to us for so very long — we haven’t missed a weekly post for almost 10 years now! — that we decided to give Mama a vacation day today. You see, she also writes fiction, and she’s been feeling really inspired to write stories. We know how much this means to her, so we hope you’ll forgive us for not posting a regular advice column this week.

We’ll be back next week, and we know it’ll be even better than usual because we gave Mama a chance to exercise her Creative Brain. Thank you so much for your patience. Feel free to check out some of our other posts while you’re here because we’ve got lots of great tips for cat people! Purrs!
