The Whiskers Behind TechWhiskers

I would be described as one of the 'crazy cat ladies' and I have four mischievous, but lovable monsters. For the past several years, from the isolation of the pandemic to the tough times of being out of work, they have helped me keep going. They bring a unique blend of chaos and comfort to my days, and I couldn't imagine my life without them.

Meet the Team

From left to right in the picture, let me introduce you to the team behind TechWhiskers.

Onyxia: The Devoted Foodie

Onyxia has a deep affection for Lady Sylvanas, often seen grooming her and staying close by. He’s a big fur-ball who loves his food, sometimes to the point of overeating. Though he likes to think he has some authority, he’s truly a gentle giant with a soft heart.

Lady Sylvanas: The Elder Stateswoman

Lady Sylvanas commands respect and adoration from the other cats. She acts as the peacekeeper, always putting an end to any cat-fighting and ensuring harmony in the household. Despite her authoritative demeanour, she is incredibly loving and enjoys curling up with her feline companions.

Illidan: The Timid Adventurer

Illidan, the son of Lady Sylvanas and Onyxia, is a shy but sweet cat. Despite his health issues, including a minor heart murmur, he remains playful and affectionate. When he’s not napping, he enjoys high-speed chases with Lucifron, showcasing his adventurous spirit.

Lucifron: The Mischievous Dynamo

Lucifron is the newest addition to the family, full of energy and always up to something. She loves pouncing on the other and initiating playful chases around the house. Lucifron shares a special bond with Illidan, often found curled up together or engaging in playful antics.

Together, they make the perfect team, each with their own unique personalities and quirks. They may be a handful at times, but their love and companionship have been invaluable. Stay tuned for more about the adventures and escapades of my feline co-pilots on this tech journey!
