Welcome to The Cat Chat!

Monki: my cuddle buddy, playmate, and boss.

Hello there! My name is Andrea and I am a journalism student residing in Fort Collins, CO. My relationship with my cat Kiki (short for MonKI KItten) is the inspiration for this blog. Since adopting her from a local Humane Society last April, much of my energy has been devoted to caring for her as best I can. While my wallet and free time have certainly taken a hit, it has been well worth the joy and entertainment Kiki's companionship has added to my life. As the number one pet in the United States, I know that cats have won the hearts of many other individuals like myself. The purpose of this blog is to create a forum for cat fans and owners to read and discuss new developments in feline research and kitty parenthood. I am always looking for new content and would love your recommendations for posts, favorite links, and kitty pics! It takes a special kind of person to love a creature who pounces on you in the middle of the night, chews and scratches your things, and ignores you if you don't clean up it's poop several times a day. Fellow cat lovers, this blog is for you!
