The Tabby Who Chose His Human
Some visits to the shelter donât go as plannedâin the best way possible. One hopeful adopter arrived thinking sheâd leave with a black cat. But as she walked past a kennel, a brown tabby stood up, reached his paw through the bars, and meowed loudly for attention.
That moment changed everything. The tabby wasnât shy about his feelingsâhe pressed his face to the gate, stretched his paws out again and again, and made it clear he wasnât letting this visitor leave without meeting him. Even though the kennel held a half-dozen kittens, it was this bold, vocal cat who made a lasting impression.
She reached back, touched his paw, and just like that, a connection was made. He had picked her. And soon, he had a nameâReynoâand a new home.
He wasnât the cat she set out to find. But he turned out to be exactly the one she needed. Sometimes, the best matches arenât plannedâthey just know when theyâve found each other.


Why is My Cat Peeing on Things?
If your cat suddenly starts peeing on your clothes, bed, or floor, itâs probably not randomâand definitely not out of spite. According to the ASPCA, up to 10% of cats will urinate outside the litter box at some point, and itâs often a signal that something isnât quite right.
In many cases, medical issues are to blame. Conditions like UTIs, kidney disease, diabetes, or arthritis can all make using the litter box more difficult or painful. Stress is another big factorânew pets, changes in routine, or loud environments can lead cats to mark their territory as a way to self-soothe.
Litter box issues are also common. A box thatâs too dirty, hard to reach, or shared with too many cats can be a major turnoff. And unneutered male cats are more likely to spray, especially in multi-cat households.
If your cat is peeing outside the box, the best first step is a vet visit. Once medical issues are ruled out, small changesâlike adding litter boxes, switching litter types, or offering more enrichmentâcan often solve the problem.

Breed Spotlight: Ukrainian Levkoy
With their wrinkled skin, angular faces, and folded ears, Ukrainian Levkoys donât look like most catsâand they donât act like them either. This quirky, affectionate breed is known for being talkative, intelligent, and deeply social.
Developed in 2004 by a Russian breeder who crossed a Scottish Fold with a Donskoy, Levkoys were designed to be different. Theyâre hairless (or nearly), but many have a layer of soft fuzz. Their personalities are often described as âdoglikeââloyal, energetic, and always ready to play or cuddle.
These cats thrive with company. They can get anxious if left alone too long, but do great with another cat or even a gentle dog. Theyâre also smart and curious, so toys, puzzles, and a routine matter.
Though theyâre officially recognized in Ukraine and Russia, Levkoys are still rare elsewhere. But if you ever meet one, donât be surprised if they charm their way right into your lapâand your heart.
