The Fuzzy Rumpz pet care blog is now: Ask Aunt Kat!


This is the SAME blog, but has been revamped and updated to fit into the Aunt Kat brand a bit more seamlessly. This blog and this site reflect all of the changes that I have gone through to get where I am at today. I am proud of my evolution and the development of all areas of this project.


This blog is dedicated to all things pet-related. It may include important pet information, cute photos, comics, infographics, reviews of pet products, pet nutrition, health & behavior articles, helpful tips, and MORE! It is designed with pet lovers, caretakers, and pet parents in mind.


Clients can participate and ask for advice, reviews, ideas, etc. With a lifetime of pet care experience under my belt, I have a lot of experience, knowledge, and ideas to share. If I don't know the answer, we can learn together! You are never too old to learn something new!


Please feel free to contact me if you should have any questions, ideas, suggestions, etc.


As always, I welcome your ideas, feedback, and suggestions!


Thank you!
