The Memphis Diaries

The introductions are not over yet. It’s time you met the rest of the crew! Everyone…meet Dennis and Yuki!

These two have my heart, my couch, and probably my sanity. If you’re into chill weirdos and fluffy chaos agents, you’re going to love these guys. Personally, I’m obsessed!

Dennis: My Soul Cat

First up, Dennis! He has been my baby for almost three years, and honestly, he’s my soul cat. This little guy is chill in the best way, adorable enough to melt you, and kinda weird in a way I just can’t get enough of. And trust me when I say we have been through it all. Road trips with him cuddled up in my lap, big moves where he judged every box, and heartbreak where he didn’t leave my side. He has a quiet demeanor about him…like he’s wise beyond his cat years. But then he’ll do something odd, like eat grass until he pukes—and I’m like, “You good, dude?” He’s sure to find the cuddliest spot in the house and nap for hours. Bonus points if it’s in a sunbeam ;). But don’t let him fool you. He’s always two steps ahead and he’s most likely plotting his next escape attempt in his nap dreams. He’s my rock, my little shadow, and I’d definitely fight the world for him.

Yuki: The Playful Fluff

Then there’s Yuki, my fun little chaos king. He’s been part of the fam for almost two years and it has been so fun watching him develop his own unique personality. Yuki is next-level cute and he knows how to use that strength to get what he wants! He plays fetch like a pro, begs to chase squirrels outside, and is basically training for the cat parkour Olympics. He climbs and leaps out of trees like it’s nothing, and I’m over here half proud, half-terrified he’ll miss! Oh, and he’s so fluffy—sheds like it’s his job. We call the stray clumps “Yuki bunnies,” and they’re everywhere. Thank goodness for a world with robot vacuums. He is the little brother energy to Dennis’s first born personality, always up to something, and I can’t help but laugh at his antics.

The Dynamic Duo

These two together? Pure gold. Especially when they’re chasing each other through the house, hiding to jump-scare one another, and teaming up to plan backyard escapes. They’re mischievous little explorers, always scheming to see the great big world beyond the fence. But don’t worry, a few too many escapades left them now needing supervision when they’re outside. With the weather beginning to warm up, we’re all stoked to hang outside without me needing 15 layers on!

Why They’re Everything

Dennis and Yuki are my daily dose of chaos and comfort. Dennis keeps me grounded and always knows when I need a quiet moment. Yuki keeps me laughing by reminding me to play a little. They have this bond that is so fun to watch, and I’m just happy to be their human. You’ll definitely be seeing more of them here because their stories are too good not to share.
