For those of you looking for a job like me, I seriously recommend you enlist the help of your cat. The love, support, and selfless encouragement you will get is incredibly uplifting and inspiring – the pictures don’t lie – here’s Jazmine helping me…

Mom? Mom who? You have the camera out – isn’t this all about me?

Oh… why didn’t you tell me cat treats and toys were in jeopardy?! Of course I’ll help Mom find a job!

Ahem… better?

Already lady… enough with the Facebook… and Instagram… and the blog… and emails… and Twitter… and anything else you can procrastinate with! Time to find a job! Am I making myself clear?

*Yawn* How long is this going to take? A cat’s gotta eat and nap, ya know…

This is exhausting… what is the problem, lady? You just applied for a job a minute ago that was purrfect for you – how come they didn’t call you yet?

Clearly I’ve done everything I can… Can we please focus back on me again… Being cute is a 24/7 job around here!

Sigh… thanks Jazmine! But I can’t argue with your logic – being cute is a 24/7 job and thank goodness you will never be in jeopardy of being let go like I was! Sorry I couldn’t find a job in less than 10 minutes… I promise I’ll keep trying!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!!

Sidenote – Yes… I’m still looking for a job. But with a helper like Jazmine and the love and support of all of you and the rest of my feline gang, family, and friends, it’s not so bad. Thank you all again for your kindness over the past couple of weeks – I couldn’t get through it without you! 

First off, I just want to thank all of you that took the time last Caturday to give me moral support after I shared the news that I was unexpectedly let go from my day job. Your compassion and faith in me was overwhelming and I cannot begin to tell you how much it helped my emotional well-being. Read more

Well, once again I have been presented with a new chapter in my life. At 55 years of age, I must admit this one was not one I had particularly hoped for, but as they say, “it is what it is” and there’s nothing I can do about it except move on. Briefly, my day job, the one that helps keep the household running, is no longer to be. I was put in the proverbial, “it’s not you, you’re an awesome employee and extremely valuable, but we need to let you go because we are downsizing and you are no longer relevant to our company” scenario.

October is Feral Cat Awareness Month, but I prefer to think of it in terms of Community Cat Awareness Month, because when it comes to cats that live outside, there is often a fine line between whether or not the cat is truly feral (meaning the cat has been born un-socialized) or if it is a stray cat that is either lost or has either been abandoned by its owner, which can cause it to act feral.

We all know what summer TV can be like for us humans – a vast wasteland of repeats and sub- quality programming. The same can be said for CWTV (Cat Window TV). Sure watching birds, lizards, and bugs outside the window on a hot day can cause a tail to twitch, but after awhile, where’s the drama and intrigue? Yeah, the Blue Jays squawk a lot and the Morning Doves like to build nests in the hedges, but it’s relatively tame viewing and that’s why my gang is so happy fall is here because it means the squirrel channel on CWTV is back for a new season!
