FROM THE EDITOR
If cats could talk, they wouldn’t. It’s a fabulous quote and a truism I am grateful for. Because seriously, can you even imagine the cat that could be bothered to explain themselves, excuse themselves or generally indulge in the drama of verbal conversations? Nope. They like the plan as is: we talk, they listen and then with a few well-cast squinks from their hypnotizing eyes, they deflect all the attention back to themselves, and we get over our litter-scooping selves. Why so sure? Well, because that beast on the cover is mine.
Like many of you, I consider my pet family. So even though she delegates up and wakes me every morning with a jab to the eye and washes her feet in my water glass while I sleep, I love her to pieces, can’t imagine my home without her and thank God every day that she doesn’t have thumbs.
But these aren’t just the musings of a crazy old cat lady. No. This month’s issue is all about pets. Spoiling them, caring for them—even disciplining them. It’s also our Valentine’s issue. That means spoiling us—decadent cupcakes, lovely letters and advice for being good to one another. So dig in and have a read. Then spoil someone who makes your tail wag.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
