About Me
Hello! I’m Abbey
I’m a wife, step-mom, long-time cat mom, and Christ follower. I started creating content in 2024 on my cats’ Instagram, @arnold_and_flash. What started as a fun hobby has now turned into something more. Now I have a passion for helping people create a home that’s peaceful, calm and happy, for family and pets. I’m always looking for solutions to organize my home, find ways to stick to our household budget, and keep my cats, Arnold and Remy healthy and happy.

Meet the Cats
Our cats are how all of this started! They are such an important part of our home and our lives, so you will see lots of them here! Here’s a little get-to-know-you about Arnold, Flash and Remy.
Arnold
Arnold is a 9-year-old brown tabby who was adopted by his people in June 2020. He’s energetic, playful, affectionate and easy to love. His favorite pastimes are napping in the sun, learning to shake for his favorite person (CatDad) and he has also been known to “sing” along with CatDad’s rendition of “If You’re Happy And You Know It”.
Flash
Flash was adopted in September 2020 from the same foster home as Arnold. They remembered each other, so they were immediate best friends. Flash appeared to have a stoic demeanor, but you would quickly learn that he was the biggest cuddler and the best biscuit maker you’ve ever met. Flash was playful at times, and he especially loved playing with his crinkle balls. Ever the adventurer, his favorite pastime was climbing to the highest, riskiest place he could find to explore.
Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Flash in August 2025 after a sudden illness. We didn’t have nearly enough time with Flash, but he lived his life to the fullest while he was with us. We love and miss him so much.
Remy
Remy was born around February 2025 and he was adopted as a new friend for Arnold after we lost Flash. He made himself at home very quickly and is becoming good friends with Arnold. Remy’s favorite toys are fuzzy balls and a fuzzy worm attached to a fishing pole. He is mostly white with some black spots, and his most unique marking is the black patch of fur atop his head that looks like a silly haircut. Remy’s energy has brought many laughs to our home already, and we are all growing to love him very quickly.
