Cat Lady Flashback Friday #FF
[Tweet “It’s #FF or Friday Follow on Twitter, if you’d like us to follow you Tweet this and we’ll follow back and shout out for #cats @catwisdom101”]
For Flashback Friday we’re going way back to the late ’80s when I was a young thing hanging out with some cats in the 1000-year-old ghost town Bussana Vecchia, Italy. Where ever I’ve traveled cats find me and it was inevitable I ended up making my living working with cats. Some things never change. Cats have always been part of my life and always will be.
If you’re in the NYC area, I’d love to meet you tomorrow (email me!) at the legendary Algonquin Hotel, famous for the literary round table and Matilda the resident cat. This year the fundraiser benefits the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals an umbrella group of over 150 shelters and rescue groups. Tickets are limited and only $40.00 includes entertainment, raffles and a wine tasting. RSVP Alice at 212 419-9197. Best of all, Tara the Hero cat the cat who saved a little boy from a dog attack is flying in from California as a special guest! Check out our post about the Matilda event from last year.
Thank-you to everyone who left birthday messages, comments, cards, emails and for sharing our adoption post. Cat lovers are the best!
Thank-you also to all the new subscribers. Please note: subscribing to Cat Wisdom 101 does not include our weekly original Cat Photo Quote. It’s a blog in itself where I do some of my most creative work every Friday. I’ve had so much of my artwork stolen online, I rarely share these but I’m rethinking maybe more people would enjoy seeing them. If you’d like to subscribe via email, please enter it in the white box at the foot of the page. One last thing, I’d love a vote to help the shelter cats I work with. VOTE Cat Wisdom 101.
