I absolutely love New England and have dreamed of living there (or NYC but that’s basically part of it) since I was little. My dad is from Connecticut, so when we lived in Pennsylvania, we used to visit every couple of months. Now that I live in Florida, I am lucky to make it up […]

Meet Bad Bad!
Meet the cutest cat in the whole entire world. (Maybe I am a little biased, but whatever.) Bad Bad seems to have the blood of a Russian Blue mixed with another breed, but we cannot know for sure.
