"Because all creatures are connected, each must be cherished with love and respect, for all of us living creatures are dependent on one another." –Pope Francis

May your day be filled with morning meows, velvety ears, fresh biscuits, comforting purrs, and teeny toe beans.

Yesh, spring has sprung!
Hopefully your spring cleaning has less fur clean-up than Millie's does.

"I have lived with several Zen masters — all of them cats." —Eckhart Tolle

Some days you hold your cat. Some days your cat holds you. 🐾💜

Loving a cat sometimes means sweeping first, cuddling later — something Millie knows all too well 💗🧹

May the rest of your work week be as mellow as Mooch's — filled with purrs, naps, and treats.

For the title panels in MUTTS Sunday comic strips, Patrick often takes inspiration from great works of art, paying homage to creators across all periods and styles. This rendition, Whiskers Mother, is inspired by James McNeill Whistler’s “Whistler’s Mother” (1871).

“Real change in the world will only come from a change of heart.”

We recently celebrated the anniversary of “Heart to Heart.” A collaboration between Patrick and His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, it explores how we can help our planet through a compassionate revolution.

My love of the Comic Strip, Peanuts, is well documented on this here internet.
