Postcards from NYC: Stray Cats

More feline shenanigans in New York City:

1. The Algonquin Hotel Cat

Image borrowed from social media
Just a few blocks from the New York Public Library building, is The Algonquin Hotel.

The Algonquin is famous as the meeting place for a group of writers, critics, actors, and wits, gathering for lunch each day at the Algonquin Hotel from 1919 until roughly 1929.

However, the REAL celebrity are the resident cats, since the 1920's; males are named Hamlet, females are Matilda.

Unfortunately, Hamlet was busy elsewhere in the hotel when we stopped by for a visit.

The doorman gave me a Hamlet postcard!

2. Cat attire as seen on the street:
Love this sweater!


We attended a comedy show here!
Okay, the truth is that the comedians were only so-so, and each one said 'we were a tough crowd'.

Maybe they each needed better material, as the emcee got more laughs than any of the dudes.

My favorite lines were from a comedian relating stories of working at a convenience store during the early days of the pandemic, when a someone robbed him, then stuck around because neither of them had talked to anyone for a long time.

We had an exciting time driving through Times Square via Uber that night; no photos to show of the lights, the huge advertising signs, and the hoards of people.

Halloween at Eastside Cats!

Today's office attire: orange cat sweater, cat scarf, and bat earrings!

Bat earrings, found at a garage sale, and Halloween cat earrings gifted by a co-worker!

Today is the 37th Firstdateoversary for The Hubby and I.  We attended a work Halloween party together, and are still an item!  He was dressed as a plumber, while I wore my great-grandmother's long lace dress, elbow-length gloves, and velvet hat.  Should have known then...

Happy Halloween!

Love Your Pet Day 2018 (US)

Of course I love our kitties!  The Hubby does too, and we give them play, warm beds, good food, and belly rubs.  In return, they give us these...heart-shaped peeballs in the litterbox!  Guess the one left on Valentine's Day (Happy Peeball Day) was just the beginning of a 'stream' of hearts!

 And while thrift shopping over the weekend, I scored this adorable sweater...with cats embroidered on it!

Fishes!
Seriously, this purrfect sweater cost 99 cents.  So springlike; I cannot wait to wear it with my black and white cat scarf.  What says "I love my cats!" more than a cat sweater worn at the office!?! 😹
