  • Throughout her long writing and editing career, Sheri has interviewed a pet psychic; a man who lives with 99 Chihuahuas; the founder of a dog sanctuary in Thailand; end-of-life pet doulas; owners of adventure cats; scientists working to create a hypoallergenic cat; and other people obsessed with adorably furry creatures.
  • Her household in Vancouver, Canada is ruled by the whims of a large and opinionated Norwegian Forest Cat.
  • In addition to her work as a journalist, she writes extremely silly stories for children, including the picture book It's Following Me! — the tale of a cat who can't figure out what the mysterious thing is that follows her wherever she goes — and the short story Purry Mason, Feline Detective, published in Chickadee magazine.
