By 8:30 in the morning, Zoey had given birth to her four perfect little babies  and she immediately basked in her role of Mama and seemed to be a natural at it. But, when I came home from work later that night, not so much… Dan was already in Boston, so when I opened the bedroom door alone to check on the new family, Zoey bolted out without a second glance. Umm. Okay. I’m sure it was no big deal – she found Zee and was so excited to see him, rubbing and nuzzling against him and just gibber-jabbering away about nothing in particular. I just stood and watched in amazement, waiting for her to return to her motherly duties,  but she had completely forgotten her new and helpless family and claimed no moral obligation to them whatsoever.

In retrospect – it was all very clear cut and straight forward – definitely nothing out of the ordinary for me. Zee was a male. Zoey was a female. Zoey went into heat. Zee acted accordingly. Zoey became pregnant. This was not rocket science, folks. So, that being said, why I morphed into a full-blown neurotic lunatic during her pregnancy is beyond me, but I did.  Read more

From all of us here at Zee & Zoey’s Chronicle Connection, we just want to wish you a safe and Happy Halloween! Hope you get all dressed up and have lots of fun – and remember – if you see a black cat cross your path, don’t run in fear…. take it home and adopt it… that’s what I would do!

Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary – pictures of Zee and Zoey splashed everywhere ad nauseam – the name of the blog, “Zee & Zoey’s Chronicle Connection,” the title of the book, “The Chronicles of Zee & Zoey – a Journey of the Extraordinarily Ordinary,” Zee and Zoey’s facebook page and facebook fan page, the Zee and Zoey twitter account, the ZeeZoey Partners LLC LinkedIn account, the ZeeZoey Partners LLC I set up, as well as the ZeeZoey Partners corporate logo and monogram that was exclusively designed for them and the ZeeZoey blog photo shoot, the idea for the book and the entire Zee/Zoey concept did not actually begin with Zee and Zoey. What?! How can that be? Read more

Okay, so we learned a bit more about Zee the other day. What about Zoey? How best to describe her in a nutshell… hmm… probably a psycho-bitch, hell on wheels, loud, insane, but very sweet and loving Jekyll and Hyde little darling. While she is always a gorgeous spotted mini inspired leopard, that is where the constant ends. Zoey is a dichotomy of every range of personality and behavior possible and her unpredictability is quite predictable.

When we first got her in 2008, she was a much researched purchase that we could not wait to pick up from the chosen cattery. Did Zoey ease into being Zoey? No, Zoey was the full gambit from the moment we got her. When we picked her out, she was the sweetest little slip of a thing. Quiet, reserved and such a precious kitten. When we put her in the carrier to bring her home, she morphed into a full-blown she-devil, wild banshee monster with lungs the size of a whale. She screamed the whole way home and when we brought her into the house, our lives were never the same again! Read more
