Its all good when your'e only a cat mom. But what happens when a new baby joins the family? The brilliant comic creator, Catsu The Cat, shares daily scenes taken directly from her daily life as a double mother  

Saying goodbye to anyone is not easy, especially not to your pets. A user on Imgur posted about her son who had to leave the country to study abroad. The son had a dog that he loved way too much, so all of this was difficult. But, upon seeing how sad her son is the mother came up with an idea and decided to send pictures of their dog to her son every single day! Here's what she had to say: "My husband made my son walk a leash around the block twice a day for an entire year in order to earn the privilege of having a dog. My son was quite tenacious and never missed a day. My husband learned never Make a Deal with someone unless you're willing to follow through with the terms. So, when it came time for him to go to school overseas, he was so heartbroken and missed his pup so much. So I sent him a picture every day to cheer him up. These are just a few excerpts from our year. He just returned home, and the dog did remember him." Big like from us!

When you first think of a cat lady, your mind might flash to an old spinster who lives alone, has no social life, and just talks to her cats all day long. Yet in 2018, we can easily see through this misogynistic stereotype. As women are waiting longer to have kids (if they choose to at all), many millennials are opting to become pet parents as they wait for the financial stability, solid relationship, or desire to have children of their own. These days, a lady who lives alone with a cat or two isn't a sob story — it's a sign of independence, success, and being a badass. So in 2015, photographer BriAnne Wills started a project to elevate the relationship. Girls And Their Cats is a blog and Instagram featuring cool women and their feline friends in intimate interviews and portraits taken within their homes. Here are the stories of 5 cat moms. 

For this year's Mother's Day tribute we put together a selection of unique and interesting gift ideas for every mom to celebrate with style.

Jessica is an amazingly crafty veterinarian and a foster mom from Portland, Oregon.  She loves kittens but also Taylor Swift.  She was watching Taylor Swift's new video for "Look What You Made Me Do" when she had the purrfect idea! She decided to created seven different outfits, each of them sewn by hand, for her seven foster kittens, in order to help them get adopted. The results are adorable!
