About Cats & Coffee

Welcome to Cats & Coffee, a Lifestyle Brand Focused on Living Well

Cats & Coffee is a lifestyle brand dedicated to finding joy in the little things—whether it’s the comfort of a good book, the love of our feline companions, or discovering hidden gems in Tampa. Rooted in self-care, personal growth, and a passion for continuous learning, Cats & Coffee is a curated space for modern women who embrace cozy, intentional living. Through thoughtful reviews, educational content, and stylish inspiration, I aim to inspire curiosity, foster a sense of belonging, and encourage a more thoughtful, joyful life—one that balances aesthetic charm with practicality.

Thanks for stopping by!

All the best,

Christine 

Me, Personally

I am a Florida native, attorney, and double Gator, with a background in Political Science and English Literature. I studied History and the Classics, really getting a feel for all things liberal arts.

After graduating law school, I began to explore my own interests again, after three years of black letter law and strict scrutiny. I have always loved to read and to write. After spending, seven years reading and writing for college and law school, I rediscovered my interests through Cats & Coffee. I’m excited to share these things with you!

Living Well: Books, Cats, Local Tampa Living, & More

Long story short, I am a voracious reader and I love history (especially Scottish history), my comfort shows, and cats. My husband and I like to explore Tampa, and I share our favorite breweries, restaurants, and local highlights in my Tampa City Guide

I have some awesome kitties in my life and a borderline questionable coffee habit. Crafting is a big part of my life; I crochet and run a shop, Critter Crafting, where I sell crochet home goods, including pet blankets called Cat Mats.

As a blogger, I am occasionally sent items to write about. In these situations, I will disclose this clearly. Any item I am gifted is something that I would have willingly bought myself to try — and, in many cases, something I go on to buy again myself after trying it out.

Cats & Coffee partners with several affiliate programs, meaning that commission can be earned from purchases/clicks by those who visit this site and on any Cats & Coffee social media platforms.

What this means: some of the links I share are affiliate links (including Amazon affiliate links), meaning that, if someone buys something through the link, I may make a small commission based on that sale. Affiliate links help me maintain my blog, so I appreciate your understanding. All of my recommendations are honestly made. I only share affiliate links for items that I personally own and trust, am planning to buy, or am genuinely interested in.
