Breaking news you’re hearing here first: In a shocking twist sure to send the electorate into chaos, the all cat ticket of Poutine and Prozac has been declared the victors in the key battleground states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

Neither the Harris nor Trump campaign could be reached for comment, but an anonymous source reported tells us the Biden administration is already installing cat shelves in the Oval Office.

The possible victory of Poutine/Prozac would represent the nation’s first feline president and vice president. Poutine responded to the news with a purr and demanding a presidential Churu.

It’s Election Day in the US so I hope each and every one of you who is eligible to vote did so. If you didn’t, know that you’ve made Poutine very sad. Poutine loves voting, but sadly is unable to because he doesn’t have opposable thumbs to fill in a ballot. Do you want Poutine to be sad? No? Get to your polling location then!

Reminder that in Minnesota you can register to vote day of the election. If you are in line when polls close, they have to let you vote so stay in line.

Prozac is very interested in this “White House” thing everyone has been talking about. He’s hoping everyone is planning to vote tomorrow.

If you don’t, he says he’ll just move into the White House instead. Don’t get me wrong, he’s very smart but I just don’t think he’d make great foreign policy decisions. Go vote if you haven’t already to prevent that from happening 🤷🏻‍♂️

(And yes, that is a cat White House. It’s a nightmare to assemble but if you’re up for a challenge… 😹 I got it on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4f8TYHD)

With Thanksgiving day coming up in a few weeks, I want to talk food. Here’s a quick feeding tip for your cats: feed them more frequently.

Multiple small meals per day is better than two larger meals. I feed my cats 5 times a day, one of them being from an automatic feeder so I don’t get woken up before the sun rises. Even increasing the number of times you feed them to 3 times per day is better than 2, though at least 4 is even better.

This is Fig and I want to brag about her a bit. Thankfully her humans said I can!🥰

Fig is having a little trouble getting along with her sister so we’re working on getting them to get along. Fig needs to learn to be just a touch less of a little lightning bolt when her sister is, for example, napping under the couch so we’re using clicker training to help with that.

Holy heck, y’all. Fig is AMAZING at clicker training! She learned two behaviors (TWO!) in our first session. She has caught on so quickly and I can already tell she’s going to be a clickfluencer one day 🥰🥰

Plus… her face. Look at her sweet face. 🥰🥰🥰

Please join me in telling Fig how awesome she’s doing. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Today is a very happy day because it’s been one year since Poutine came home! He seemed so scared and timid when I first met him. Turns out he’s actually quite loud and has no boundaries. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Really though, he is the friendliest cat. Once he realizes you’re not a threat, Poutine just wants to be friends with everyone… except Lana Del Rey.

I lucked out yet again with getting a very, very special cat. Thank you for being my friend, Poutine! 🥰 Here’s to many, many more years of fun.

It’s National Veterinary Technician Week! When you take your cat to the vet, chances are the veterinary technician is the one who is… Honestly, they’re probably doing a LOT for your cat. Vet techs take on so many roles and are so critical to the health and well-being of your cats.

To all the vet techs out there 👏🏻thank you👏🏻 for all your hard work and care you give our cats! You are appreciated more than words 🥰

Looking for a fun weekend activity to do with your cats? Why not let them create some art work?

It’s not as messy as it sounds and doesn’t involve them growing opposable thumbs.

I posted a guide a few weeks ago on my blog. You can head there there to learn what to do. You may even see some art from Poutine and Prozac! 👀

For those who don’t follow me on TikTok, you might have missed out on my story of Poutine’s firey hatred of Lana Del Rey. I will not be going I to details here so you’ll just have to go follow on TikTok… 💅🏻 https://www.tiktok.com/?_t=8qTSlmKIWoI&_r=1

Anyway, last night we discovered Poutine does in fact seem to enjoy some music. I guess he’s having a brat autumn. 🤷🏻‍♂️

(But really, you should go follow me on TikTok. It’s mostly gratuitous videos of P&P doing cute things, but I’ll add more behavior info eventually)

It’s spooky season so let’s talk about a spooky myth about cats.

It involves murder.

While it may seem silly, there is a myth that cats want to kill human babies. Depending on the version of the myth you hear, it may be to steal their breath (this is not me being cute; it’s a real thing 🤷🏻‍♂️) or to smother them for some sort of cats being evil reasons.

Well… Neither of these are true. While some cats can be aggressive toward some babies, most are fine as long as you’re careful to prepare them ahead of time.

I wrote a blog about the history of this myth and why you don’t need to worry about your cat sucking the life force out of your child or whatever: https://classactcats.com/blog/is-your-cat-trying-to-kill-your-baby/

If you do have concerns about your cat reacting poorly to a baby, I’m happy to set up a consultation to help you and your cat prepare. After you read the blog, you can find out more about consultations on my website!

It’s World Mental Health Day. Cats can be a great boost to your mental health, but remember that taking care of your own mental health can greatly impact your cat’s wellbeing and their behavior.

I wrote a blog about how your mood and behavior can affect your cats a few months ago: https://classactcats.com/blog/mood-and-behavior-affecting-cat-behavior/

Taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your cat!

There’s no shame in needing extra support. I have a therapist (hi Janelle 👋🏻). It’s completely normal to need help once in a while!

I wanted to take a moment to send a lot of love and support to all the people in Florida right now. It looks and sounds horrifying, especially so quickly after another devastating storm.

I’d like to acknowledge all the shelter workers who are already overwhelmed taking care of so many animals as is, the medical professionals who are risking their lives to take care of the sick and injured, and everyone who isn’t able to evacuate. Please take care of yourselves.

Lastly, another group that is likely having a hard time: anyone whose pets are missing due to the storm, whose animals escaped while evacuating, or any number of other awful situations people may be in. Ambiguous loss, where you aren’t sure if they are safe or not, is particularly terrible. Your worries and fears are valid. May you be reunited and may you take comfort in knowing you are supported.

Cat stuff can be expensive and there’s a lot of junk out there so any chance to save a bit is a good thing.

I’m an Amazon Associate (I earn a small commission if you purchase through any links I post to Amazon, but am not paid to endorse a specific products. I still pick everything myself based on what your cat will actually like) so I took a peek at some of the deals for Amazon’s Fall Prime Day (yes, I know that’s not the official name but my brain refuses to think of it as anything else 😹) and there are some good ones!

There are also a lot on things your cat is going to hate. 😬

If you need help wading through them, my blog has a lot of ideas and guides on picking out cat stuff: https://classactcats.com/blog/

I’ll also share a few of the better ones I see.

Whatever you do, before you purchase something, ask yourself if your cat will like it first and foremost.

Not you; your cat! It’s fine if you both like it, but your cat should be the priority because THEY are the one who will be using it.

There’s a lot of stuff that isn’t actually designed with cats in mind. It may seem like it will make your life easier until your cat stops using their litter box because their needs aren’t being met.
