For all of Starkwhite’s 28 years, we’ve had office cats. They’re our daily companions and a constant bright spot. They keep us grounded. They console us when times are stressful, and they’re a welcome distraction when we just need to take a minute. Fortunately, we’re past the days of drafting tables and Spray Mount—where cat hair were uninvited guests. In addition to our own, we’ve fed a number of strays who have wondered in and out of our lives—one, White Cat, was a regular guest for over 15 years.

 

We currently have four furry friends: Luna (f, whose picture brought you to this page), Frankie (f), Daisy (f) and our newest, Chip (m). Featured in our stamp self-promo are the original cats: sister and brother, Josie and Seymour (respectively), Dotcat (f, aka Dot) and the grande dame, Hazel, a fluffy Manx. Losing each of them was like a losing a piece of ourselves.

 

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.”

-Anatole France (1844-1924, French poet, journalist and novelist)
