Today is our blogoversary; my first blog post was on September 22, 2013.

How can that be?!?!? ⏳

Am beyond thankful for every follower and commenter, and for the wonderful kindness shown for our cats.

Have curtailed some of my blogging activities this summer to streamline laptop time.

Years ago, I began sending emails to family and friends with cute cat stories, then discovered blogging.

And it was The Ghost Cat who truly fired my imagination to want to post about our lives with cats.

Ghost Cat statue, left by a kind neighbor on our deck when she didn't get an answer to knocking at the door. 

When I sat down with The 'O' Cats that night, I saw a white cat in the dark.

Thinking it was a new stray, I made smoochy noises and talked to the white cat, but it didn't move a muscle.

And it sorta glowed; creepy!

Not until I screwed up my courage to get closer, did I figure out it was a statue that I'd never seen before.

I was rattled, but it's a pretty funny story now.

The Ghost Cat: Book Review

The Ghost Cat
A Novel
By: Alex Howard
Narrated by: Alex Howard
Length: 6 hrs and 2 mins
Unabridged Audiobook
Release date: 08-27-24
Language: English
Publisher: Harlequin Audio

Grimalkin lives Victorian-era Edinburgh, Scotland, after being rescued by the charlady Eilidh.

Cat-Sith is surprised when Grimalkin appears suddenly on the other side of the veil, and offers a boon: nine reincarnations.

    "For Three He Plays, For Three He Strays, For Three He Stays"

Ghost Grimalkin wakes each day to a new timeline, and it's amusing as his staid Victorian manners must adapt to the 1920's, WWII bomb shelters, 1960's fashion trends, and laptops used for trading on the stock markets.

Grimalkin helps the humans as best he can, aiding those in strife, and teaching meanies a lesson or two.

A pleasing and fun travel through history, on the paws of a Scottish kitty!
