I made our first post on September 22, 2013:
Parking Lot Cat.

The first comment appeared on September 23, 2013, Nine Years, and it was an emoji!
By January 14, 2014, we had received three whole comments, for:
I kissed a cat...and I liked it!
I kissed a cat...and I liked it!
And so it goes.
Before this blog, I emailed stories of our cat life out to friends and relatives, entitled "Crazy Lady With Cats". My first tale was about "Ghost Cat", where I freaked myself out when discovering a silent, all white 'cat' on my deck. It turned out to be a gift cement statue, but in the moonlight, it was spooky!
Here are photos that I took, but didn't include, in that first post:
Through the years, I've found a rich, loving community of blogging friends, from whom I've learned so much. With the addition of Facebook, my cat world has expanded, and then the addition of Instagram and Twitter...the sky is the limit!
I've loved your cat, dog, fish, etc. stories, and I've mourned deeply for your losses, and been joyous when new furry and finned family members have joined the ranks.
Thank you to The Hubby, for his support!
I credit my mother for her encouragement to write about our cats.

I give props to the cat mom at William's Kith and Kin, for hers was the first cat blog that I followed.
And to a couple whom I met many years ago, P&M, whom have shown me great friendship, and who have supported my 'Cat Kook' lifestyle from afar.
Thank you all!

Happy anniversary. I chuckled over receiving three comments in several months. It does take a while for people to know one is there, blogging.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary. I smiled pretty big about the lack of comments. When Admiral started in March 2009, no one saw or commented for months. I did get one comment several months later. I didn't know about the CB until one of the rare commenters said they had not seen the Admiral on it. Then I googled what is the CB and finally found my blog family out there waiting.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary - and many more !
