Pet of the Month

I am proud to announce that this month’s Pet of the Month is my cat, Lily!

I may be a bit biased in saying that she is, in my opinion, the cutest cat in the world. Lily is three and a half years old and enjoys climbing up on top of the refrigerator and leaping up on top of chairs. She also enjoys eating turkey treats and sunbathing (as you can see from the photos below). She likes following me around the house and then pretending she isn’t, and snuggling with me after running around like a madman in the middle of the night. In my household, she is commonly referred to as our little cutie-patootie.


If you’d like your business to be featured, please contact us here, DM us on Instagram @thelocalreel, or email us at thelocalreelmedia@gmail.com.

Lydia Boubendir

As Editor-in-Chief, Lydia’s responsibilities include editing articles, monitoring site analytics, and managing and teaching her team of writers – and she loves every minute of it. Winner of a Regional Silver Key for poetry in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, she is a fervent reader and writer; moreover, she is an avid learner of all subjects. Besides English, she is particularly passionate about mathematics and computer programming, and she spends her free time nose-deep in a novel or textbook, perusing arbitrary Wikipedia pages, and cooking. Above all else (except for maybe her cat, Lily), Lydia loves helping others, and is grateful for this opportunity to give back to her community.
