Shine a light on orphan pets waiting for forever homes.

My first blog post was September 22, 2013.

What fun we've had over the years!

I am passionate about cats, and even The Hubby is willing to wear a "Cat Dad" t-shirt, if I can find one that is tasteful enough for his surprisingly picky style.

Thank you, readers; I cannot do it without you!

I've made some wonderful friends via this blog, and am grateful to my family too, who read along despite not having cats in their lives right now.
It all started with the Ghost Cat statue, which appeared on our deck one night.

A kindly neighbor brought it over as a gift, but when her knock at the door got no response, she simply left it on our deck.

Later on, while sitting with our feral/stray clowder, I spied a white cat behind me!

In the dark, it looked alive, and I spent a few minutes trying to coax the 'new' cat to me.

A surprisingly large amount of time went by before I realized it was NOT a living thing.

Which is why it was named "Ghost Cat".
😹😹😹
Note the broken ear, just like the notched ear of a feral, after TNR.

  1. Being a cat person can be great. Mom used to be a cat person but over time she has switched to being a dog person. Both are great things to be.

    1. I told my Ghost Cat story to my relatives recently, and at least a few said they'd never heard it before and laughed their heads off...with me!

  3. Cat people rock and I know many. I can see why you call that cat the ghost cat.

    Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches to the kitties. ♥

    1. How on earth was I to know it was a statue? The neighbor hadn't mentioned it to me; all I knew was that they were moving, and she was cleaning out her stuff.

    1. At the time, I was quite anxious, because I thought I might truly be looking at a ghost!

  9. Congratulations on your blogoversary! Animal bloggers are the kindest and most compassionate individuals. We love this community! I love your story about ghost cat! Years ago, I actually saw a ghost cat…my cat Madison. He was a blue-eyed white stray that we adopted. One day in the garden after he received his angel wings, I saw him following behind me! Thanks for posting about #RememberMeThursday.
