Welcome to the Our Place to Paws Blog!

“Our Place to Paws” was born when a writer was sitting at her computer unable to get any work done. The cat curled happily on her lap was purring loudly and licking her hands as she tried to type. The writer realized that if she was unwilling to remove the cat, she was unlikely to get her work done, or frankly to ever go far as a serious professional. A long and honest examination of her priorities revealed that she was indeed unwilling – or pathologically unable – to disturb the cat. So the writer started an e-newsletter and a Web site instead, and the cat kept purring. Would you like to learn more, send ideas or subscribe to the e-newsletter?
