"I don't know if being a fur-mom is just like being a regular mom. I don't know if I should compare your kids to my kids. "That's not even where I want to go. "I just want to give cats - and their humans - a chance. I want to thank the people who chose to love "children" they did not give birth to. I want to thank them for loving children not just of another bloodline, but of another species. "While I have only three, they have many. Their sacrifice is unbelievable. Their love is worth commending." - "When Your Children Have Fur" - from Fur The Win, my column in Animal Scene #hugot #catmom #catsFurTheWin #definefamily

If you've ever been berated for having furry kids instead of human ones, this article is for you. :) And yes, my babies are stars of my column, Fur The Win, in Animal Scene Magazine! 😸🐶🐱 Grab the July issue and find out what happened after my parents' friends told me cats should be thrown out. #catsFTW #FurTheWin

Kinda hard to concentrate on my article when#MalandingMimi is being irresistibly cute on my desk. 😄😸 #PuspinIsIn

See that kitten trying to scale the screen door? That was #MalandingMimi 6 months ago! She had another human back then but that didn't stop her from insisting that she belonged to us. You can day we didn't adopt her because it was she who adopted us! 😊 After she went missing and almost died on Christmas Eve, we rushed her to the emergency room. Her then-hooman gave her to us as a Christmas gift after finding out what we did to save her. That's Mimi 's rescue story. She now rules my home... and my heart. 😻 #AdoptDontshop #PuspinIsIn #ProudMeowmy

I just spent six straight days in Siargao for an intense leadership journey. No other six days in my life can compare. Thank you for the experience of a lifetime, @unilabfoundation ! Still can't believe I survived! Happy to be a UFLJ alumna! #TeamDATU #LeadingLeaders (at Siargao Island)

I can watch this all day. So therapeutic. (If I need her to keep still, all I need to do is show her the video she's watching here!) 😸 #MalandingMimi #FelineFriday #catvideo
