Crystal & Ivy
Hello Catsters, I’m Crystal. I work within the advertising division for Catster. You’ll have seen a few of my posts on our social media and listened to a few of my tales on our YouTube channel.
I’ve all the time thought of myself to be a canine individual. Nonetheless, there is no such thing as a longer any doubt that I’m, the truth is, a cat individual!
Adopting my first cat opened my eyes in so some ways and taught me the true which means of getting a soul reference to an animal.
I can‘t think about my life with out my kitty, Ivy, and her every day antics. It’s been a tough experience, however a good looking one, and she or he has enriched my life in so some ways.
As each cat father or mother is aware of, cat possession doesn’t come with out its personal set of distinctive hurdles and challenges…

Isabel & Milly the Tabby Cat

Hey Catsters, Isabel right here, you would possibly acknowledge me from the Catster YouTube channel! I’m the advertising director right here at Catster.com and I look ahead to writing some enjoyable and fascinating cat-human curiosity tales each month!
I might be sharing a few of my experiences as a lifelong cat lover and proprietor and what it’s wish to be the cat mother of a sassy little tabby cat known as Milly, who you additionally might have seen on the YouTube channel. Milly is the apple of my eye, the supply of my happiness, and despite the fact that she will be able to make me very mad generally, I really like her with all my coronary heart.
She’s a 6-year-old white/tabby cat that I rescued as a 4-week-old, undesirable kitten in a really small city the place I studied. She was born in a bar of all locations! We turned greatest mates the second we met, despite the fact that it took some time for her to belief me as a result of she was feral, she knew I used to be there to avoid wasting her.

Since then, we’ve had some wild adventures collectively. We moved from Johannesburg to Cape City, she flew in a aircraft, lived on a golf course, turned a YouTube star, and even acquired her personal designer jacket (which she refuses to put on).

Wes & Raphael the Russian Blue
What do you name a cat-obsessive who spends all day engaged on options for cats of the world, and all night cuddling with a cat of his own? Effectively, a Catster after all!
Howdy reader, my identify’s Wes. By day, I’m Director of Hepper (Catster’s sister ecommerce model). By evening (and generally by lunch), I’m the loving protector of a fierce monster known as Raphael the Russian Blue. Okay, honest sufficient…he’s actually MY protector, and actually, the one monster he’d rely as is without doubt one of the ‘cuddle’ selection.
At this early stage, there are two issues it’s good to find out about Raphael. First, he’s definitely, the hungriest cat you’ve ever encountered. There are rumours (as but unconfirmed) that he entered an consuming contest in the summertime of ‘23, and bankrupted the corporate that put it on. When requested for touch upon the scandal, he was reported to have responded “meow”.
The second factor to find out about Raphael is that the one factor he loves as a lot as a hearty meal is a fulsome cuddle. Raphael will get on board the snuggle prepare once we’re on the couch, in mattress, working on the desk. In truth, expensive reader, I hope it received’t concern you an excessive amount of to know that rest room time is commonly intercepted with a cuddle break if the door is left open. All cats have totally different personalities, after all, nevertheless it doesn’t cease me from telling myself throughout each cuddle that it means I can’t be doing THAT badly at taking care of him.
I all the time assume probably the most fascinating a part of pet possession is that it’s each intensely communal and completely particular person. All of us have precisely the identical experiences and completely totally different ones. In case you’d wish to share your journey with Raphael and me, to chortle at his shenanigans, and smile at how he reminds you of your personal family members, learn and remark alongside. We’ll be ready for you!
