I had a truly crazy 2025! It was fun, adventuresome, productive…and honestly, kind of dangerous!

In fact, the year started out on a dangerous note, with the Los Angeles wildfires. We were close enough to the Eaton fire to be affected by it. Our electricity went out and we were one freeway width away from an evacuation zone. So my human and I escaped to her boyfriend’s little ranch in the Antelope Valley for a few days. In the middle of checking the fire’s path and seeing if the electricity was back on, she did a photo session with me to try to keep things at least semi normal.

Of course, we worried about the peach kitty and his family the whole time we were gone. He showed up when we got back, as did the others, but as you can see from this photo, our backyard was a mess.

In March, I turned eleven! And I had a little birthday party and shared kitty cake with the peach kitty.

I had quite a few cat shows in 2025, but one of my favorites was in April in Norco, where I had never been before.

I also had a TV appearance! Can you see me in the back in the frame? Our friends were pitching the frames on Shark Tank and they asked me to be part of it. I hope my next TV appearance is a little more focused on me!

My therapy visits went well, but they weren’t without stress and possibly danger. The big hospital we visit is in a heavily Latin area of town, and our city was one of the first to be invaded by ICE. Although my human was born here (as were her parents) and she is a citizen, she looks Latin (because she is). And she was so frightened of being racially profiled and taken away while on a therapy visit with me!

This wasn’t an idle fear. A lot of times they don’t check ID, and once they took a woman, a US citizen like my human, who happened to look a lot like her. My human had a couple apps to show her where ICE was, and one time they showed up at the hospital shortly before we got there! She wasn’t sure if we should even do the visit, but a hospital employee showed up and escorted her inside.

It would be easy for my human to stay home and stop doing visits until things calmed down, but instead we’ve continued to visit all the same facilities we always go to. Because it’s more important to be helpful, and if someone has to be in the hospital, they have more stress than my human does and they need me.

June was a lot of fun! I had a variety show for Cat World Domination Day. If you haven’t seen it, you should…and it’s worth watching again!

I also went to Vancouver, BC! The humans had business there, and of course I came along. It was my third trip to Vancouver, but I hadn’t been there since 2017.

I worked with a few brands during 2025, and one UGC video for TikTok needed shots of me being a show cat. (The video was a take on Taylor Swift’s album.) So my human went crazy dressing up my benching area.

In November, I got to visit San Francisco with my human and her boyfriend. Her boyfriend’s movie that he directed was having a big screening, which is why we went. We stayed in the most amazing Victorian bed and breakfast, and my human made sure to do a photo session with me in the room.

So that was my crazy 2025! And it was wild until the end…after so many stalls and disappointments with my YouTube channel, on the very last day, I hit 10,000 followers! Now if I can only get monetized. I guess that’s one of my 2026 goals, right?
