The Gist
We (the folks at My Sassy Cat) are on a mission to share whimsical, sophisticated, and cheeky tales from a cat’s perspective, promoting understanding, empathy, and a deeper bond between humans and their feline companions. We hope you love our stories and products — from “My Sassy Cat’s Feline Code” to “Moonlit Lullabies.” As Lady Minette would say, “Our mission here is to provide a platform that truly showcases the regal, sassy nature of our feline friends, giving them a voice that is both elegant and cheeky. Because every cat’s story deserves to be heard.” The following is the legal stuff we must add to our website.
