I have another order of books coming in from the printer, which means orders are back open on my website! I always feel immensely honored when someone asks to dedicate their book to a companion who has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

I've been doing some inventory management today. 👀 #smallbusiness

WOW!! I am completely sold out of everything! Good news, though! I'm going to place another bulk order for hardcovers soon, AND I'll be creating more bookmarks with some new designs. AND, AND I have ordered stickers to start selling direct, as well!

One of these days, hopefully soon, you will see a post from me about reaching 1,000,000 followers.

Imagine admitting you were undeservingly aggressive and rude to a cat account and then not actually apologizing. What an unusual encounter of the turd kind.

Two book updates today! 1. We shipped out a bunch of books to their new homes today! 😊 2. I only have two personalizable hardcover copies left out of the last bulk order. 🤯 I will be doing another bulk order at some point. However, I'm not sure when. Head over to thepawtistics.com to snag one!

Reshare so this is the first thing people see when they open this app. 😆 #catsofbluesky #flokivonthunderpaws #mademesmile

I published my book, Nine Lives, with the hope of helping people grieve the loss of their fur friends, but now I'm hesitant to bring it up to the very people who could use it most. #NineLivesPoetry #petloss #indieauthor #emotionalsupport

My morning battle with my cat can get quite in tents. 🥺😆 I'll see myself out. 🚶‍♀️🚪 #funnycatvideo #cutecatvideo #flokivonthunderpaws #catsbeingweird

Dogs get excited when you come home. My cats are different. 😂 #flokivonthunderpaws #cutecatvideo #funnycatvideo #justwokeup #mainecooncat

Help an autistic indie author reach the right people who understand that a pet is never, "just a pet." Please repost this. I don't ask for this kind of thing often, I just know there are people hurting who may take comfort in knowing they're not alone. 🙏🏻🧡

My poetry book, Nine Lives, is international! I want to see just how far our Pawtistic chaos reaches, so comment your state/country below! Let's share our kindness with the world! #NineLivesPoetry #ShareKindness #IndieAuthor #petlosssupport

*Tips tent* M'leggie.

My cat absolutely won this round of "Chair Stare." I still haven't found my mic magnet. 😅 #funnycatvideo #cutecatvideo #whoops #contentcreatorfail #flokivonthunderpaws

Happy Sunday! For the 37 people who ordered hardcovers of Nine Lives off my website, they have arrived from my printer early! I'm signing the personalized ones today, and then I'll have them packed for shipping and ready to go out on Wednesday! You'll receive an email update once they ship.

My heart has jumped over the moon and wrapped itself in starlight. I am so happy to hear how much readers are enjoying Nine Lives. 🧡 Your pet carried your soul. Now, you carry their grief. You don't have to carry it alone. #NineLivesPoetry #petlosssupport #ThePawtistics #indieauthor

Which one is your favorite? I have SO MANY more unhinged videoscaptures of my cats. If you want to see them, let me know! #funnycatpicture #catsbeingweird

This is gonna be so funny. If you get this water cat, please share his arrival. 😂 #NineLivesPoetry #watercolor #funnycat

I tried a new enrichment with my cats today! Floki was distracted by a bird outside, but the Tiger Twins loved it!! #cutecatvideo #flokivonthunderpaws #funnycatvideo #toiletpaperandfan

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Bring me your questions about cats, neurodiversity, self-publishing, and content creation! www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/s/wTu...

Nine Lives is now the the #1 New Release hardcover book and the #3 BEST SELLER in its genre for all formats!! Thank you all so much for your continued love and support. This feels unreal.

Join my AMA tonight at 8 pm EST on Reddit under r/iama! Listening to people chew makes my skin crawl. However, I adore hearing Mushu's finger chomping. 🥹 #mushuthemeatball #ama #cutecatvideo #calmingasmr

"Sorry, I got distracted from the work call today. My kid put a storage container through my office cat door that had a dead praying mantis in it and note that said 'RIP Praying Mantis Burned.'" (It wasn't burned. It was dehydrated from being in the sun.) Oh, to be a working parent. 🤣

Someone, please tell me not to work on book stuff or Pawitstics stuff after my kids go to bed tonight. I desperately need to be a lump, but I am AWFUL at relaxing.

Join me tomorrow at 8 pm EST for a Reddit AMA where we’ll talk cats, creativity, and neurodiversity! #AMA #AuDHD #ninelivespoetry #indieauthor #selfpublished

Update: I've officially sold over 100 copies of my book. 😭 It just came out. Gizmo, buddy, we did it. 🧡

I'm overwhelmed with happiness that there are so many lovely people who will hopefully take comfort in my book. 🧡 It has been available for 10 hours and is already the #1 new release in Inspirational and Motivational Poetry #thankful #indieauthor #petlosssupport #mentalhealth #NineLivesPoetry

"You don't understand. He carried my soul." I am not alone in my grief, and neither are you. I lost my soul cat, Gizmo, to FIP. While grieving, I was told too many times that he was 'just a cat.' I wrote this book to honor his memory and to show the world that our pets are never 'just' anything.

HOLY GUACAMOLE I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S TIME!!! If you enjoy my cats and narrations, and you want a book that will make you feel less alone in your grieving, my book Nine Lives is for you. #catpeople #flokivonthunderpaws #NineLivesPoetry #funnycatvideo #indieauthor

Sometimes my cat needs a dose of his own chaos. #catsbeingweird #flokivonthunderpaws #funnycatvideo #catpeople

YALL PLEASE MY CAT FOUND ANOTHER CEILING FAN ☠️☠️☠️🤣 #ceilingfancat #bigcat

I asked my cat to roll for initiative, and, like the dice goblin he is, he didn't listen. #bigcat #flokivonthunderpaws #catsbeingweird #DND #DiceGoblin

All I'm saying is my cat has a lot of sass for 17lb ball of fluff who needs a point of contact with his mom to fall asleep every night.

3D printed dragon fidget toys are the Comic Sans of the 3d printing world. I will not be taking questions at this time.

I made this chart because I have to give my cat, Luna, medicine for a vasculitis flare-up. I put it up on my website as a free download in case anyone else would like to use it. 🙂 Please share to help others as well! thepawtistics.com/store/p/pet-...

My cat has taken a vow of violence against every ceiling fan in the house. #funnycatvideo #catsbeingweird #flokivonthunderpaws #bigcat #CeilingFanCat

There are 50 more hardcover copies of my cat poetry book, Nine Lives, available for preorder! Additional hardcover copies will be available on Amazon starting on Tuesday, 9/9, that will be delivered sooner but don't have add-ons. You can pre-order yours here: thepawtistics.com/store/p/nine...

My husband and I had coordinating cosplays at Dragon Con. We take Bunny Hutch night very seriously.

He's a big cat with big dreams. This time, he got it. #flokivonthunderpaws #catsbeingweird #bigcat #funnycatvideo

Today was a BIG day! I swear the cats can feel the excitement. All the pre-orders shipped out today! #NineLivesPoetry #flokivonthunderpaws #indieauthor

And cat parents dont worry about it at all because all cats are already pawtistic AF.

Its fine. I'm fine. I need one more day of taking it easy, and then it's time to ship out all the Legacy Editions, order another batch of inventory, and make sure all the listings and files are finalized! 🤩 It's go-time, people! #dragoncon2025 #NineLivesPoetry #indieauthor #smallbusiness

Three cosplays this year. Friends traveling in from three different states. I can't wait to nerd out with 80,000 of my best friends. #dragoncon #atlanta

Another day of my cat Floki fluffin' around. He was raised by an Orange, and it shows. #FluffCollection #zoomies #funnycatvideo #FlokivonThunderpaws #catsbeingweird
