I hate it when I’m looking at a map and it doesn’t tell me where cats are located around the globe, or anything about cats for that matter. Knowing about this problem, the Zoological Society of London has finally solved the cat cartography conundrum. Cat Map shows you where all the cats are and knowing their demographic of cat ladies, you can add Mr. Sparkle Boots to the map to help fill in the global cat picture. Continue reading

It was April 30, 2011 when we purchased the Zillapress theme and shortly thereafter that we switched over. That’s way too long to keep one theme so we embarked on a journey to spruce the place up a bit.

If you were the photographer, then of course you are free to use your own image in any way you want. Continue reading
