The Great Squirrel War of ’26 – Entry #2 There are moments when one believes a lesson has been clearly delivered and properly understood. Yesterday, I handled a situation—firmly, appropriately, and with the quiet expectation that it would not need to be revisited. Boundaries were reinforced. Order was restored. The matter, as far as I…
The Morning I Saved You All (You’re Welcome)
Hello, Furriends. It began, as many important things do, with quiet observation. The morning air carried the usual notes—distant birds, the soft rustle of leaves, the faint and ever-suspicious movements of creatures who do not fully understand where they are permitted to be. I had taken up my post, not out of obligation, but out…
Quarterfinalist (Or: On Revolution and Reading)
Hello, Furriends. I started this year with very reasonable goals: Find sunbeams. Write poetry. Supervise my Purrson. Sprint the hallway at 3am when necessary. Somewhere along the way, I apparently won my group and advanced to the Quarterfinals of America’s Favorite Pet. I did not schedule this, nor was I consulted. However, after careful consideration…
Full Moon Meditation: The Cold Moon
Greetings, human. It is I, Tyson—your frost-pawed guide through moonlight and memory. Tonight, we sit beneath the Cold Moon, the final full moon of the year. Named for the long nights and low temperatures of December, it is a moon of deep stillness and soft survival. A moon for wrapping up, drawing in, and remembering…
A Very Important Book Announcement (and a Tiny Apology)
Hi, furriends! I did a thing — I wrote a book! Tiny Paws Poetry: Haiku from a Feline Purrspective is now out in the world and I am VERY proud of it. My admin (the one with thumbs) would like to apologize for not getting all my posts up as fast as I dictate them….

Full Moon Meditation: The Harvest Moon
Greetings, human. It is I, Tyson—your moon-whiskered guide through golden hours and glowing bowls. Tonight, we stretch our paws beneath the Harvest Moon, the full moon of October. Though the Corn Moon rises in September most years, this moon earns its name when it falls closest to the autumn equinox. It hangs low and bright,…
Full Moon Meditation: The Corn Moon
Greetings, human. It is I, Tyson—your whiskered guide through moonlight and late-summer stillness. Tonight, we honor the Corn Moon, the full moon of September. Named for the ripening of corn and other crops, this moon marks a season of quiet abundance—when the days are still warm, but the nights whisper of change. It is a…
Health Alert: Apoquel and Cats Don’t Mix!
Hi, furriends! Tyson here with some important mews for my fellow felines and our humans. You know how dogs sometimes get those tasty-smelling chewable pills for their allergies? They’re called Apoquel, and they’re often flavored like pork liver. My fur sister, Sassy the German shepherd, takes these because she chews her feet (ew, dog feet)….
Full Moon Meditation: The Sturgeon Moon
Greetings, human. It is I, Tyson—your watchful guide through still waters and moonlit reflections. Tonight, we swim beneath the Sturgeon Moon, the full moon of August. Named for the great sturgeon fish once abundant in lakes and rivers, this moon calls us to go deep—to explore what lies beneath the surface, where wisdom swims slow…
