I’ve decided to be a circus cat when I grow up. I can’t think of a more important or glamorous job that a cat could have, other than maybe being the star of one’s own comic strip. (Shout out to Garfield.) Keyboard Cat also has my respect. Can’t be easy to play keyboard without fingers.

After doing some research, I’ve learned that there are certain skills which are important for Circus Cats to develop. I’ve been practicing these skills daily, and I’m happy to announce that I’ve mastered them all!

Will the real kitty please stand up!

I just love this picture of our beautiful Ragdoll cat, Mr. Jazz, as he so casually takes a catnap on a life size plush leopard that we have in our dining room, as if it is the most natural and normal thing in the world! Actually though, for our household, that is the most normal thing in the world!

While our humans don’t allow Zoey or I or the other kitties of our house to be outdoor cats, they do take us out on weekend mornings in our fenced backyard for some serious sunning, sniffing, and exploring. Even though we are supervised, we still really appreciate that our humans do this for us and we just want to meow “Thank You” to them because we know it kind of wears them out watching all seven of us.

Ingrid King

One of the many joys of Zee & Zoey’s Chronicle Connection for me has to be all of the wonderful people and animals I am meeting along the way.  I never in my wildest dreams thought my life would be so rich a tapestry, filled with so many people that share my love and passion for animals. One of these wonderful people is former veterinary manager, turned writer, Ingrid King. While Ingrid and I have only just begun to strike up a friendship, she is one of those kind souls that I somehow feel I have already known my whole life. I am very drawn to who she is as a person and we share a lot in common,  in particular, our love, respect and devotion to cats. It was this common bond that caused our paths to cross and how I came to fall in love with Buckley, a sweet, joyful, and wise beyond her years little cat that was sharing her forever home with Ingrid and the inspiration for the book Ingrid wrote, Buckley’s Story.
