About

Meet the real-life Pathos the Cat. She is an orphaned farm kitten who was discovered after she fell from a barn loft. She was adopted by Chadwick and Sharla after being bottle fed for three weeks. On the evening of her adoption, Chadwick and Sharla were in bed watching a movie when Pathos climbed into bed and squished in between them, purring. From that moment on, she knew she had a home. She was a very needy and emotional kitten. She was overprotective of her food, had grumpy spells every afternoon, and took all her naps on Sharla's neck. Eventually, she became secure and happy, although she is still suspicious of anyone but Sharla. She lives happily with her siblings Roo, a border collie, Mr., a golden retriever, Raven, Roo and Mr.'s puppy, Gandalf, a big gray cat, and Frodo, Pathos's little kitten. Her favorite treats are freeze dried minnows, and her favorite toy is a handmade blue yarn ball.

Chadwick Miller is a graduate student pursuing a degree in counseling. He designed Pathos the Card Game to provide people with a fun, interactive resource to explore how emotions impact their everyday life. In addition to creating games, Chadwick enjoys watching woodland creatures and birds with Sharla and Pathos the Cat at their home, Birchwood Cottage.

Sharla Miller-Baer is an artist, photographer, and designer. Her paintings of Pathos are featured on the cards and cover art of Pathos the Card Game. You can find her figurative nature paintings on her website, sharlasart.com. When she isn't painting, she enjoys gardening, blogging, fashion design, forest walks and renovating Birchwood Cottage.
