Welcome to An Abnormal Love of Cats.

I’ve started this blog to share my stories, experiences and knowledge about cats.

A bit about my background

First let me say that I am not a veterinary professional, and any medical information posted in this blog should not be used as a substitute for the advice of your vet.

That said, I have a fair bit of experience with cats. I grew up with a lot of cats, most of whom were strays, and have dealt with the various behavioural issues that unsocialized cats some times have. My mother is a passionate cat lover as well and our passion has developed together over the years.

I’m also a regular volunteer and board member at our local humane society, and the resident cat lady. I go in once a week to brush, de-mat, clip claws, bathe, train and socialize the shelter cats.

I currently have two of my own cats at home as well as a foster kitty.

I hope you’ll find my experiences and insights relevant and helpful.

So what’s with the name?

“Abnormal love of cats” came about during a phone conversation with a friend. As usual I was going on and on about cats and the conversations that my mother and I have about cats. Sensing that he was perhaps not as deeply interested as I was, I asked sincerely if not all cat owners loved cats as much as we do, at which time he pointed out that my mother and I did in fact have an abnormal love of cats.

With that, “abnormal love of cats” stuck and I think is an accurate and amusing way to describe my passion for cats.
