Seriously though, if people took the time to even try to understand cats there wouldn't be all this misinformation. For starters...cats don't just attack and kill people out of the blue lol. If anything a cat is going to run and hide from you. They're full of personality. They really are independent and enjoy being the boss of everything. When I got my first cat I was so terrified. I was highly unqualified for the position of cat mom. Within 3 days of owning Sigmund he was bleeding on my couch and I was screaming on the phone to my vet (that's a story for another time). Anyway, that traumatic incident prompted me to do some research about cats. The amount of information available on the internet for first time cat owners is so impressive. I watched videos, read blogs, read veterinary pages all so I could understand this strange being. This built my confidence and I was no longer paranoid that my cat would kill me in my sleep.
The negative myths about cats are endless. I'm sure dogs are lovely but they're completely different from cats and the comparisons are unnecessary. I spend a lot of time trying to convince my friends that cats aren't evil. Sadly I've come to the conclusion that they'll never understand until they own one. Im slowly working on getting my friends to adopt. If you're reading this and you're thinking of getting a cat my advice is YESS!!!! You won't regret it and pretty soon you'll want more. To my cat lovers .....What are some crazy myths you've heard about cats? Comment below I'd love to know!
Until next time

Help! I’m obsessed with cats!! Utterly obsessed. How did this even happen? WHEN did it happen. I’m really not sure. How did I go from being an avid animal hater to now running a cat business and basically worshipping my cats *face palm*.

If you told me or anyone who knows me in this lifetime that I would be a thirty-one year old cat lady we would have 100% laughed in your face. My friends and family think I've gone mad. They're probably plotting my intervention as we speak (lol). I’m still not sure if im going through an early mid life crisis. My cats are my favourite entities on this earth. ....Can you tell that I'm single lol (Side note: I wish I could insert emojis to this for you to fully grasp my emotions but we work with what we have).
Anyway, I adopted my first cat Sigmund in July 2020. Long story short...he changed my life. I didn't know I was capable of loving anything this much. I guess this is how people feel about their human babies. His entry into my life has made me into a major softy. I’m now kinder and more empathetic than ever before. He's showed me how to love unconditionally. Even when he goes outside and refuses to come back in. Or when he wakes me up before my alarm demanding food. He's the reason Kitty Kornertt exists and I wouldn't be who I am today without him.
For the first few months of having Sigmund I refused to call myself a cat person. I was afraid of the stigma attached to the “crazy cat lady”. Fast forward to 2021, I now have a second cat Luke. I slow down whenever I see a stray kitty in the road just to slow blink and wave. My entire social media is just videos of cats being cute. I’m now officially a crazy cat person. Guess what though.......I wouldn't rather be anything else! Cats are awesome and you wouldn’t understand until you own one. Shoutout to all my cat people out there. We're in this crazy cat world together.
Until next time.
