Mewsic Kitty Cafe Open House {Nashville Cat Photographer}

If you loved the Mewsic Kitty Cafe Pop Up from last year, then you'll be excited to hear that they are officially open for business! I had an amazing time taking photos of their pop up cat cafe last summer, and I am SO excited they are now here year-round! 

Mewsic Kitty Cafe is Tennessee's very first cat cafe! They provide "a vibrant, comfy, cage-free place for adoptable headliners (that's the cats!) to meet their furever families." So, not only do you have the chance to hang out with some of the cutest cats in Nashville, but you can adopt them from Nashville Cat Rescue while you're there! They've already had a dozen successful adoptions, the last of which was Keith Furban. :) 

Take a look at some of my favorites from the Mewsic Kitty Cafe's open house below!

The Parenteau Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

On the blog this week are a few familiar faces: meet my friends Jourdan, Pete, and their two furry family members, Buzzy and Squirrel! We had a family photo session with the Parenteaus and their cats three years ago, and it was so nice to see them again!

Jourdan has had both cats since they were little fur babies, and now Buzzy is 13 and Squirrel will turn the same age in May! They're also siblings from different litters and have some similar colors and markings I just love. Plus, those green eyes get me every time.

They're both beautiful animals and I'm also glad to hear that Buzzy is recovering like a true champ from a recent leg amputation!  

Enjoy some of my favorites!

The Loeffler Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

I absolutely love it when other photographers come to me for their photography needs, especially when they have not one, but three adorable pets! Meet Kelly (the fellow photographer) and her husband Chris! These two have two cats, Leroy & Ralphie, and just adopted a new puppy named Rhett.

Kelly said that when they brought Leroy home from Paws of Rutherford County he was originally named Penguin -- but he acted like such an old man so they thought "Leroy" would be a better fit. He loves treats and quiet time, and hates being petted anywhere but his head. What they love most about him is his distinguished look! 

Then with their second cat, they liked the old man name theme and Kelly's grandpa's name is Ralph, which is how they came up with Ralph(ie). He loves snuggles; however, he isn't too fond of his snuggles being interrupted by Rhett jumping on him. 

With Rhett, Kelly and Chris were debating between a Tennessee-driven name or another old man name. And since they really like Thomas Rhett, they thought Rhett would be the perfect Southern boys name for their new pup. He loves frisbee, but doesn't love that his cat brothers won't play with him. 

Here is what Kelly had to say about sweet Rhett: "Rhett's eyes are just so beautiful and he has a great personality and temperament. Although I have always loved Australian shepherds, because of their intelligence and looks, I love them even more now after meeting Rhett! I also cant get over how cute he is!" 

And I can't either!
