Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for my good fortune to have traveled several times to do wonderful cat things in 2019!

In March, I visited Loganberry Books in Cleveland, Ohio:

On that same trip, we visited the Cat Fanciers Association Feline Historical Museum in Alliance, Ohio:

I also attended the 2019 CatVideo Fest at the Detroit Film Theater:

I had the delightful experience of meeting Beatrice Friedlander and her husband Donald, who run Attorneys For Animals at the All About Animals Rescue Gala in April:

May caught me traveling in Colorado, and had the great pleasure of meeting Glogirly, Waffles and Katie:

Waffles carefully investigated my bag; Glogirly made sure he didn't climb in and leave with me!

The Meow Meetup in Chicago occured in July, and it was SO MUCH FUN!

Here's only one link to the multiple ones that I posted:

I've even taken a class on how to read Tarot Cards now

Visiting Black Cat Pottery is always a treat, this time in August:

This is Pandora, Dora for short
Or should we just say, ADORABLE?!?

Another film festival, The New York Cat Film Festival, arrived in September:

A November visit to the Toledo Zoo and Aquarium in Toledo, Ohio was fantastic:

Such grace and style; Magoo had eye only for me

Thank you for joining me on my journey back through 2019!
Where will I go in 2020?

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Beatrice Friedlander, at the All About Animals Rescue's 2019 Spay-Tacular Benefit for Animals earlier this month.  Beatrice is the President of Attorneys for Animals, and she received an award for outstanding service to animals, and the animal rescue community at the event.  While enjoying a delightful cup of coffee later in the evening, I thanked Beatrice and her husband Donald, for their advocacy of critters here in the great state of Michigan.

We had a pleasant conversation, and Beatrice asked me all kinds of questions, while I did the same to her!  Every time I am involved with any program or volunteer experience with All About Animals Rescue, I come away having gained more than I gave.

Every state has their animal and wildlife problems, and as we each try to effect change through our own actions, it's good to know that Attorneys for Animals is also on guard.

Thank you, Beatrice and Donald, and the rest of Attorneys for Animals!
