Crystal & Ivy

Hello Catsters, I’m Crystal. I work within the advertising and marketing division for Catster. You might have seen a few of my posts on our social media and listened to a few of my tales on our YouTube channel.

I’ve at all times thought of myself to be a dog individual. Nevertheless, there isn’t a longer any doubt that I’m, in truth, a cat individual!

Adopting my first cat opened my eyes in so some ways and taught me the true that means of getting a soul reference to an animal.

I can‘t think about my life with out my kitty, Ivy, and her day by day antics. It’s been a tough experience, however a lovely one, and he or she has enriched my life in so some ways.

As each cat mum or dad is aware of, cat possession doesn’t come with out its personal set of distinctive hurdles and challenges…

Isabel & Milly the Tabby Cat

Hey Catsters, Isabel right here, you would possibly acknowledge me from the Catster YouTube channel! I’m the advertising and marketing director right here at Catster.com and I stay up for writing some enjoyable and fascinating cat-human curiosity tales each month!

I will likely be sharing a few of my experiences as a lifelong cat lover and proprietor and what it’s prefer to be the cat mother of a sassy little tabby cat referred to as Milly, who you additionally might have seen on the YouTube channel. Milly is the apple of my eye, the source of my happiness, and despite the fact that she will be able to make me very mad generally, I really like her with all my coronary heart.

She’s a 6-year-old white/tabby cat that I rescued as a 4-week-old, undesirable kitten in a really small city the place I studied. She was born in a bar of all locations! We turned finest pals the second we met, despite the fact that it took some time for her to belief me as a result of she was feral, she knew I used to be there to avoid wasting her.

Since then, we’ve had some wild adventures collectively. We moved from Johannesburg to Cape City, she flew in a aircraft, lived on a golf course, turned a YouTube star, and even bought her personal designer jacket (which she refuses to put on).

Wes & Raphael the Russian Blue

What do you name a cat-obsessive who spends all day engaged on options for cats of the world, and all night cuddling with a cat of his personal? Properly, a Catster in fact!

Howdy reader, my title’s Wes. By day, I’m Director of Hepper (Catster’s sister ecommerce model). By evening (and generally by lunch), I’m the loving protector of a fierce monster referred to as Raphael the Russian Blue. Okay, truthful sufficient…he’s actually MY protector, and actually, the one monster he’d depend as is among the ‘cuddle’ selection.

At this early stage, there are two issues you’ll want to learn about Raphael. First, he’s unquestionably, the hungriest cat you’ve ever encountered. There are rumours (as but unconfirmed) that he entered an consuming contest in the summertime of ‘23, and bankrupted the corporate that put it on. When requested for touch upon the scandal, he was reported to have responded “meow”.

The second factor to learn about Raphael is that the one factor he loves as a lot as a hearty meal is a fulsome cuddle. Raphael will get on board the snuggle practice after we’re on the couch, in mattress, working on the desk. In actual fact, expensive reader, I hope it received’t concern you an excessive amount of to know that rest room time is commonly intercepted with a cuddle break if the door is left open. All cats have completely different personalities, in fact, but it surely doesn’t cease me from telling myself throughout each cuddle that it means I can’t be doing THAT badly at taking care of him.

I at all times assume probably the most fascinating a part of pet possession is that it’s each intensely communal and totally particular person. All of us have precisely the identical experiences and completely completely different ones. In the event you’d prefer to share your journey with Raphael and me, to chuckle at his shenanigans, and smile at how he reminds you of your individual family members, learn and remark alongside. We’ll be ready for you!
