The Sunday Drive

by Zeuss Catt at 6:50 AM • Uncategorized16 Comments

Editor’s Note: Things have been a bit hectic here lately, so we are very happy to have Zeuss Catt from Boston back with one of his entertaining and informative posts. For those of you that might be new to Zee & Zoey’s Chronicle Connection, Zeuss is one of Zee & Zoey’s offspring who moved to Boston when he was a kitten. Zeuss has quite a knack for writing and his penchant for adventure is always amazing to me!  As you read his post to follow, you might be wondering why he mentions learning how to drive… click here to read about that escapade in case you missed it! 
I may have lost my desire to learn how to drive, but I still have a strong appreciation for motor vehicles.  Sometimes I sit in the front window for hours watching the various cars and trucks pass our house.  The humans, sharp creatures that they are, noticed my automobile affinity and came up with a wonderful idea… Read more

Wednesday, Whiskers, and Math…

by Deb at 6:50 AM • Wordless Wednesday15 Comments

I love everything about the geometric composition of this photograph of Peanut which is a perfect display of  lines, angles, and shapes. From the strong vertical lines of the fence with the contrasting bands of sunlight to the stunning display of her long and angular face framed with perfectly spaced whiskers, the whole picture is a wonderfully captured lesson in mathematics!

Review of The Chronicles of Zee & Zoey by Angie Bailey of Catladyland

I had the pleasure of getting to spend a lot of time with Angie Bailey of  Catladyland while I attended the CWA conference a couple of weeks ago. We had met very briefly prior at BlogPaws over the summer and I am so happy to add her to my growing list of wonderful cat blogging friends I have met over the past year. Angie is a beautiful woman, both inside and out, who not only has a wonderful sense of humor, but is also a very sweet, humble, kind, warm, and genuine person. She is much quieter in person than you might expect and is always smiling which I love about her. When she agreed to review The Chronicles of Zee & Zoey for me, I was quite curious how she would interpret the story – would she focus on the books humor, since Catladyland is so humor oriented, or would she find a much deeper meaning to the book?  To find out the answer to that question, please click here to read the full review!

Waxing Poetic – A Case for The Chronicles of Zee & Zoey

by Deb at 12:15 PM • Uncategorized18 Comments

I slept in this morning for the first time in months and woke up with the instant urge to wax poetic from my soapbox. We traveled quite a distance yesterday for Thanksgiving dinner with the family, and it appeared somewhere between the turkey and the coffee, that Christmas had already begun. As we drove home in the dark and entered our neighborhood, it was already ablaze with the jarring commercialism of Christmas lights. Now, mind you, I love Christmas and I love the lights, but can’t I even digest my dinner before a new holiday begins?

Exhausted from the day, instead of going to the computer like I normally do, I crashed on the couch with Dan and the kitties to relax from a wonderful, but weary day. Rather than feel the peaceful calm I was hoping for, I was bombarded with non-stop ugly and loud commercials telling me to go stand in line to be the first one let in for the trampling of crazed people looking to buy a TV at 40% off at midnight. Geesh…. Not only did I not feel compelled to fall into the frenzy of possessed shoppers, I became stronger in my mindset that we need to do a serious rewind to days gone past in our lives. Read more
