Welcome to Pet Mum

Hi, I’m Paula – animal-obsessed, cat-mum to seven, dog cuddler, fish feeder and proud parent to two wonderful children.

Pet Mum is my little corner of the internet, where I share the ups, downs, and deeply meaningful moments of life with animals. From the chaos of Bonfire Night and how we keep our pets calm, to quiet stories of how they’ve supported my mental health in ways words can barely express, this space is for it all.

For me, animals aren’t just part of the family – they’re the heart of it. They’ve helped me through anxiety, grief, and those tough days when everything feels like too much. Whether it’s a gentle nudge from my dog Casper or the soothing purr of a cat on my lap, their presence has been healing in ways no one else could offer.

You’ll find honest posts here about managing life with a full house of fur, keeping pets happy and safe during life’s noisy moments, and the deep emotional connection we share with our animal companions.

If you’ve ever felt like your pet just gets you, or you’re looking for stories that celebrate the comfort, chaos, and calm they bring – you’re in the right place.

Welcome to the Pet Mum family 🐾
