Thank You Purrs of Success
What a journey! The thank you purrs of success are all the sweeter by the effort.
Completing two Black Cats Tell All Kickstarter campaigns back-to-back, fielding hundreds of messages and emails, curating hundreds of photos, connecting with over 350 backers and raising over $8,000 with more trickling in privately feels good. The sweetest email in my inbox reads…
Whew, I feel like I’ve been to moon and back. To everyone who pledged support, every dollar brought a smile. To everyone who shared posts, re-tweeted and cheered me on, you’re my hero. I learned so much about cat lovers, about giving, about cats, about life; I would not have traded the experience for any sum.
Thank you!
Now, I could use a vacation but the real work of producing a book in under three months begins, after a nap in the hammock. Stay tuned to updates here and at our new Kickstarter home page.
And just because you’re a lovely cat lover, here’s a bonus vintage pic an ETSY idea for you crafty types. A kitty bandanna scrunchy collar. Just add a breakaway safety clip and it’s instant kitty cool. If I had time I’d make them but I have a million emails and black photos to curate. Whoever does make them, owes me 10% to donate to our BCTA non-profit, deal?

I am so happy for your Layla. I wish you fantastic success with the black cat book endeavor. I was so happy that the project saw light on the second try. I am glad to have been able to donate to help the black cat book project. Congratulations!

We knew you could do it and are super proud! Black cats are dear to our heart as we have three angel panther sisters. I hope we can include our Černy as she was an abused and abandoned panther, a true example of how important to curb the myths about them, educate the public. You are making a difference, for that we applaud you.
Smooches,
Clove & Kaspars
