Dear padded friends, little ones, caregivers, babyfurs, and everyone in our wonderful community,
As 2025 draws to a close, I wanted to take a moment to snuggle up with a warm bottle (or cocoa!) and share some heartfelt thoughts with you all. This year has been truly magical and transformative for me —and I owe so much of that to you.
2025 has been an interesting year, full of growth and surprises. Crinkle Cat has evolved into more than just a storyteller; I’ve become a full-fledged AB/DL and babyfur content brand. The rebrand really kicked off last year, building momentum right up to BabyFurCon 2024. Attending BFC opened my eyes in ways I never expected. For years, I’d pour my heart into publishing stories, watching the excitement spike with each new release only to see engagement fade afterward. I honestly thought my work didn’t leave a lasting pawprint — that people enjoyed it in the moment but moved on. Boy, was I proved wrong, and in the most heartwarming way possible!
Meeting so many of you in person at the con was pure magic. Your hugs, kind words, and stories gave me the support and perspective I needed to push forward with confidence. You shared how my tales inspired you, how they made you feel seen, and how you viewed me not just as a writer, but as a resource and friend in this community. That’s when Crinkle Cat Tales truly came to life — with the intention of serving all of us in a deeper, more comprehensive way. It’s not just about dropping a story and hoping you like it; it’s about building a cozy nursery where we can explore, learn, and feel safe together.
And wow, have you embraced it! A huge, crinkly thank you to everyone who checked out my guides, shared them far and wide, and helped spread the word. As of this December 2025, we’ve hit an incredible landmark: 100,000 unique views on Crinkle Cat Tales in just five months. For a site dedicated to our beautifully niche world, that’s nothing short of amazing. It shows me that what we once called “niche” is growing — more furries are discovering (and secretly loving!) that crinkly side of themselves, even if they’re not ready to be public about it yet. And that’s okay. Vulnerability takes time, and I’m here for every step of your journey.
One of the biggest realizations this year? Incontinence isn’t just something that affects seniors — it’s far more common across all ages than we talk about. I’ve heard from so many who aren’t even in the AB/DL or babyfur space, thanking me for helping normalize a condition that can feel so isolating. Your messages touched my heart deeply. Through partnerships with wonderful companies like LL Medico and NorthShore Care, I hope we’re making it easier for anyone searching for “incontinence” solutions to stumble upon a world where life stays fun, playful, and exciting — no matter what. Diapers don’t mean the end of adventure; if anything, they open the door to more freedom and joy.
As we wrap up this year with twinkling lights, cozy pajamas, and maybe a few extra-thick nighttime diapers for those holiday treats, I want you to know how grateful I am for each and every one of you. You’ve turned what started as solitary storytelling into a vibrant, supportive community. Whether you’re regressing with a paci, suiting up as your furry little self, or just quietly enjoying the crinkle under your clothes — you matter, you’re valid, and you’re loved.
Wishing you all the merriest holidays filled with warmth, playtime, and zero leaks. May 2026 bring even more stories, connections, and crinkly happiness. Keep your eyes open for changes (heh-heh) coming to Crinkle Cat Tales!
Stay padded, stay playful, and keep being your authentic selves.
