WELCOME! to the August 2010 issue of The Pride Cartoon™ E-News... a publication of The Pride™, the Award-Winning Reality Cat Cartoon Starring Crazy Johnny.
August is Julie's Anniversary month! She's been with us 4 years! Seems like just yesterday that little tabby turkey came charging toward me through the cul de sac. I'll never really know how she found me or how she knew I was the one she wanted. But she put her hooks in me, and there was no getting away.
Enjoy, laugh, shop, forward to your
friends, and send Julie anniversary cards! (She still has some issues relating to belonging.)

What Do You Do When You Inherit 18 Cats?
Subtitled: HEEEEEEEEEELP!!!
|
This story is a year overdue. I'm just getting around to it now because I'm just coming out of denial. Maybe.
See, I am not that woman. I know it seems like it, but I'm definitely not that
crazy cat woman running around with cases of cat food and traps,
driving miles every day to feed a colony of 18 ferals. No no. That
is NOT me. My mother was the one feeding every cat in Queens to the
point that her yard has more cats than acorns. (My cousin Lesli calls
it "your kitty garden.") I got the benefit of seeing their adorable
faces when I visited, and the occasional cartoon idea, but they weren't my cats.... my life.... my onus. I had two cats, see. The end. Just enough to drain my pocket book, just too much for my asthma - just enough. Until
now. O help me lawd. One can't imagine the dread, the pressure, the horror, the shock and
denial (even though I knew it was coming) to inherit somewhere in the
area of 18-22 cats upon my mother's death last year. Two indoor girls,
Jackie and Sandra that Aunt Betty thankfully took home with her, and +/-
16 ferals in the yard (Ruby, Cindy, Opal, Bangs, Snake, Hahn, Smudge,
Garnet, Peach, Jack Cowson, Jack Adolphson, Slug, Sandy, Penny, Pearls
and Black Shuck. Those are the regulars that we see every day. The +/-
are a handful of up to 5 others that are, as my grandmother used to
say, "sometimey"). Continued.... |
