A Bittersweet Farewell: Crystal & Ivy Say Goodbye

Welcome to the Wednesday Cats of Catster! Every week, we share a story from one of our cat-loving Catsters. This week is about Crystal and her soul cat, Ivy.

Hi, Catsters!

It is with great sadness that I announce that today will be my last post. New opportunities await me on the horizon, and although I am nervous and scared, I am also excited!

It has been an absolute privilege to share snippets of my and Ivy’s life with you, and I truly hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

I’ve learned so much working at Catster, and I can honestly say that our team and veterinarians have only the best interests of kitties worldwide at heart. They work tirelessly to ensure that our information is helpful, up-to-date, and accurate.

I’ve also learned a lot about Ivy, of course! Why she tries to bury her food, why she loves sitting in boxes, why she loves bum pats, how to make her homemade cat food, the list is endless!

I hope that everyone continues to stay curious and willing to learn more about their cats for years to come. Knowledge is power, and is also an extremely important and valuable part of keeping your kitty happy and healthy.

I can’t wait to see where life takes me and my little family next. I already know that Ivy’s certainly up for new adventures and challenges, and with her and my fiancé by my side, there’s no need to ever fear!

I wish all of our readers nothing but happiness, endless purrs, furry cuddles, and long, beautiful lives with your feline companions.

Adios!

Please enjoy some of my favorite pics of me and Ivy:
