I was regaling the Furkids with the difference the internet has made to my life by making it possible to meet people in real-time and even face-to-face. I’ve made the most wonderful and valued friends in places I’ve never visited – Ursula, Susan, Marti, Sebastiene, Sarah and everyone in the Creative Sprints group, the beloved […]

To celebrate Pride Month, the Furkids chose editor Ursula Faw’s favourite song and asked me to recolour all the illustrations in rainbow colours. I was dubious about the outcome but they insisted, and it’s their column, so I went to work. Several hours later, I completed their request, and I have to admit, it worked […]

It’s another big election year, so I suggested to the team that it would be the right time for us to come up with a campaign song. The Furkids snuffled and shuffled about for a bit until someone suggested “Come Together” by The Beatles. I was surprised to learn how appropriate this song actually was […]

This week, the Furkids invite you to bring to mind those you love; let the love fill you up from your toes to the tip of your head, then overflow all around you. Picture those who’ve made you proud, and moments when you were proud of yourself. Then delve into the treasury of your personal […]

The Furkids want you to know that they are very aware of how tough times are right now, not only in the US but all around the globe. They see us as survivors, and they’re very proud that we’re still standing. They are with us, bringing us love, comfort and reassurance, every step of the […]

At this time of deep uncertainty and anxiety, the Furkids are very aware that many of their hoomin friends are suffering the emotionally draining effects and would like nothing more than to escape to a safe place. Grandnanny Elliphant said it brought to mind a similarly fraught period for Ringo Starr. In 1968, during a […]

Furkids know that among their gifts to us, their love is the best. It is greatest when reciprocated, and that’s easy because it is so easy to love them! The jukebox was lovingly filled with purloined coins (source unspecified), so just press play and scroll down to the illustrated lyrics. If you don’t know the […]

I was puzzled by the Furkids’ choice this week and waited for them to explain – I don’t have to ask, they love to tell anyone who’ll listen all about it! This week’s theme, they explained, was about moving forward; that no matter how sad, slow or harsh things may seem, time will move on […]

The Furkids have noted that the activities and responsibilities of hoomins often produce stress, so they set out to find soothing music to destress the hoomins they love and cheer up any of their furriends who are feeling blue. In deference to the fact that I’m old (they consider this a good thing as they […]

It’s been a nightmare year, from economic disaster of tariffs to shooting citizens in the streets to war; it’s been one bruising blow after another. Thank Goodness we have the Furkids. They are here to comfort us, to remind us that love not only survives but flows around us in an embrace to cushion the […]

It’s been a very difficult year for Politizoom and its Owner-Editor, Ursula Faw. Now that our beloved Ursula faces health challenges too, the Furkids unanimously agreed to play her favourite song this week to cheer her up. It’s a song that illustrates a core principle of Furkid beliefs, embedded in their souls. You see, they […]

The Furkids are very tuned into weather and seasonal change. On March 20 this week, they celebrated the first of two Equinoxes for 2025. The word derives from Latin: ‘equi’ (equal) + ‘nox’ (night) because it’s the time of year when the sun is directly above the Equator at noon so day and night are […]

This coming Tuesday, March 17, is St Gertrude’s Day. Known as Gertrude of Nivelles, she was a Benedictine nun and mystic from the monastery of Helfta. Her day is celebrated by the Furkids because she is the Patron Saint of Cats. Of course, March 17 is more famously recognised as St Patrick’s Day, which is […]

Yes, it’s that time of year again, time for Americans and Canadians to put all timepieces forward an hour. Europeans will follow on March 29, while most of Australia and all of New Zealand put their clocks back an hour on April 5. The Furkids decided to reprise the classic song by Peter, Paul and […]

The Furkids decided that their theme for the first column of March would be the Moon. That’s because, on this Tuesday, March 3rd, there will be a lunar eclipse culminating in a Blood Moon. The feature image shows how the progression of the lunar eclipse will appear over the skyline of Melbourne, Australia. Because there […]

Now that the Furkids have their own Blue Sky account, they’ve become fascinated by social media sayings like “palate cleanser”. Their first response was a hope that it was a reference to treats. But they quickly realised it was something for hoomins to make them feel better when their world felt heavy and sad. That’s […]

The Furkids are sooper-cited about Valentine’s Week, which, they stressed, is seven times better than Valentine’s Day! They asked for The Bunny Song to celebrate it. Uh-huh. The Bunny Song. Happily, it didn’t take as long as The Vet Song before I figured out which song they wanted and listened to the lyrics. It came […]

I’m happy and relieved to report that Loula is very much better. However, she will be returning to see her veterinarian this week for her annual inoculation (she’s not a fan) and possibly more tablets (also not a fan). But her Vet is lovely, so I’m confident we’ll all survive the experience. Because the spotlight […]
