Cats: There’s More To Them Than Tuna & Naps

YESTERDAY MISCHA asked if he could have his own series here on Kisses & Chaos. After years of hearing hurtful “jokes” on TV and movies about cats, their behavior and their “owners” he wants to give misunderstood cats all over the world a voice.

HE WANTS YOU to know the truth about cats – their thoughts, their feelings, their hopes, their dreams, their passions and their peeves.

BEING A REDHEAD I understand how he feels facing a life filled with myths, teasing and stereotypes – a life of ribbing and ridicule. Just as I try to shed light on and combat gingerism, he wants to stop all the feline falsehoods that speciests spread dead in their tracks.

NATURALLY I told my adorable little activist yes.

SO IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE that I announce Mischa’s first-ever series:

MISCHA’S MUSINGS will debut first thing tomorrow morning. We hope you’ll join us for what will undoubtedly prove to be an adorable and enlightening experience.

Kitty Kisses & Cuddly Chaos,

Hey There, Sailor.

Posted on 06/11/2013 by alli woods frederick

hey sailor

I HAVE been told my fashion sense runs a bit on the theatrical side. I not only freely admit this fact, but I consider it a point of pride.

GETTING DRESSED should be fun! This is doubly true for holidays and special events.

HEY SAILOR!

THIS TIME OF YEAR there are backyard barbeques, family reunions, road trips, beach vacations and, of course, the Fourth of July. And for reasons known only to my subconscious, all those things make me want to get all nautical. What barbeques and sailboats have to do with each other I’ll never know, but there it is nonetheless.

NATURALLY I put together a summer shopping lust list – a sail-full of sea inspired styles. So hoist the main sail and enjoy.

SETTING SAIL FOR SUMMER FUN

ANCHORS AWAY!

This Is Why Every Single Day Is Amazing

Posted on 06/10/2013 by alli woods frederick

AND SINCE TOMORROW is a mystery, it’s always worth living. Every single day is amazing. Greet it with love, hope and curious anticipation of a future not yet written. Recall all the different ways your days have unfolded in the past – from days filled with quiet and calm to unexpected joys, laughter and triumphs.

IF THERE’S ONE THING life has taught me it’s that nothing, absolutely nothing, is impossible. So embrace the mystery of each day and fill it with hope and limitless possibilities.
