Hello there BlogPaws friends from me and my mom, Kerry! I am Valentine, the black Persian kitty of Noir Kitty Mews, which was chosen as one of the Nose-to-Nose 'Best Cat Blog' Awards Finalists for 2017! When I am not working on my combined website/blog and chatting on my various social media pages, you can find me lounging around the house, napping, guarding my cardboard castle, playing toys, and supervising my humans' projects. Mom not only does typing for me, but she is also Curator at a local Victorian House museum in Eugene, OR. In her free time she enjoys interior decorating, home improvement projects, crafting, gardening and traveling. Cats are her passion, but she also loves all animals. She shares a home with me, my human Dad, and a Basset Hound, Bessie. Mom will be attending the BlogPaws confurr-ence on my behalf. I am excited that she will have the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and learn about new opportunities to promote and grow my blog. Mew Mew!
