Why Purr.blog?
Every time our cats did something strange, funny or worrying, we’d end up asking the same question:
Is this normal?
Purr.blog was created to answer those questions through real experiences with our cats, Thomasina and Avalon.
Welcome to Purr.blog
Real stories, practical advice and everyday lessons from life with two indoor cats.
Meet Thomasina, the well-travelled rescue cat, and Avalon, the kitten who plays fetch, makes biscuits and keeps everyone on their toes.
Helping You Understand Life With Cats
Cats are funny, confusing, affectionate, dramatic and sometimes a little bit strange. At Purr.blog, we write about the questions real cat owners ask every day.
From licking and biting to sleeping habits, jealousy, indoor cat life, furballs, food costs and kitten chaos, our articles are inspired by real experiences with our own cats.

Thomasina, or Tommy, is a rescue cat from Canberra who has been halfway around the world and back again. She has lived in Australia and England, and now prefers sleeping between us near our pillows.
