Crazy Cat Lady Chronicles: Introduction

 

 Hello, and welcome to something fun!

I have had the pleasure of having six cats in my adult life, four are still with me. 

Join me on this fun, heartfelt and sometimes heartbreaking journey as I tell you tales from being a cat owner!

These creatures have changed my life completely and there are days that because of them that I keep going when I'd rather give up! They with my children are my sanity and the reason I exist!

I'm going to start with saying.... I didn't always like cats - THERE I SAID IT!  I didn't hate them but didn't want one in my house. I did however love and enjoy my friends cats over the years.

One day everything changed...

My oldest wanted a kitten, I told her to ask her father, thinking it would be a hard no. To my surprise he said yes and we were at the SPCA a few days later. We had two dogs, so I was not sure how this was going go!

After seeing many kittens Ana decided on a cute very small tortoiseshell we named Scarlett.

Little did I know this little creature was going to change my life forever.

Cats are complex and amazing. I for one count myself lucky to have been able to love and be loved by these feisty little fur balls!

Really he only time a cat breaks your heart is when they leave this life.

I'm going to try and post a short cat story every Wednesday, barring life doesn't get in the way!

See you nest time!

Stay Pawsitive!

Cat's People by Tanya Guerrero

on Audible

“An uplifting tale of friendship, kindness, and connection . . . This joyful story of the unlikely friendship between five strangers and one remarkable cat is a must-read for cat lovers.”—Marianne Cronin, author of The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot

Núria, a single-by-choice barista with a little resentment for the “crazy cat lady” label, is a member of The Meow-Yorkers, a group in Brooklyn who takes care of the neighborhood’s stray cats. On her volunteering days, she starts finding Post-it notes left by a secret admirer in an area where her feeds her favorite stray—a black cat named Cat. Like most felines, he is both curious and observant, so of course he knows who the notes are from. Núria, however, is clueless.

Are the notes from Collin, a bestselling author and self-professed hermit with a weakness for good coffee? Are they from Lily, a fresh-out-of-high school Georgia native searching for her long-lost half sister? Are they from Omar, the beloved neighborhood mailman going through an early midlife crisis? Or are they from Bong, the grieving widower who owns Núria’s favorite bodega?

When Cat suddenly falls ill, these five strangers find themselves bonding together in their desire to care for him, and discover that chance encounters can lead to the meaningful connections they’ve all been searching for.

Just wow!

I listened to this book and it was amazing! So heartfelt and the emotions that this book makes one feel are deep, both happy and sad. 

I loved it because it starred at cat of course (cat does not talk - you just get his inner thought) but the bonds and friendships that both already existed and those that happen during the book made my heart melt.

A stray cat, 5 strangers, a terrifying event... changes 6 lives!

I loved this book so ,much and I give it 5 out of 5 drinks!

Media Mania: Kevin Hart on NETFLIX

 

Hello, today I want to talk about Kevin Hart!

His new comedy completion Funny AF is amazing! It's about time some did a comedy competition! The reward is a one hour NETFIX special!

The Netflix comedy competition series brought together rising comedians from across the country alongside a rotating panel of comedy heavyweights, including Keegan-Michael Key, Tom Segura, Kumail Nanjiani, Chelsea Handler, and Nikki Glaser.

Over the course of the season, contestants faced the realities of life as a stand-up comic, from high-pressure sets and rewrites to live performances in front of massive audiences. The competition ultimately culminated in two live episodes, where Netflix members voted in real time to help decide who would take home the title — and their own Netflix comedy special.

The Rescue of a Baby Squirrel

 

Life is never boring…

Last week I was taking a nap after work because I wasn't feeling well - when my Ring camera kept going off. I picked up my phone to see what was happening outside.

The first video showed my neighbor’s son being chased by a squirrel and the next one was my Simon petting the squirrel.

Neighbors heard crying/screaming and found the little thing all alone and it followed/chased them, he knocked on our door because he thought since I have cats so of course, I’d know what to do, so Simon went to meet the baby.

Sweet baby

I got on my phone and started to make call – I was going to find a safe place for this sweet

SPCA was closed so I called the Hamburg Police and they gave me the phone number of a lady in Boston who helps squirrels. After speaking to her we were off to Boston with the baby squirrel

We got to the house to find out the baby was about 6 weeks old and a boy - Simon named him Chip! He was most likely without momma for a few days because of the shape he was in. He will get the fluids he needs and will be brought up with a few other squirrel babies. He will stay safe in the sanctuary until he and his foster brothers and sisters can be set free!

She will keep in touch with me and send me pics of Chip and siblings as they grow!

This squirrel sanctuary is on a few acres of land - most of the squirrels she releases stay right on the grounds and come to her when they want! 

Sounds like the perfect way to live!

  UPDATE:

Chip with his new brothers and sisters

He is the one in the middle of the sleeping ones  - they are a little younger than him  - the bigger two on the other side are a bit older. 

What a crazy day, I was just happy that I could help the little guy

 and get him someplace safe!
