Throwback Thursday - Me and My Brown Mousie!

Hello and Happy Thursday! Today I have a little video to share with you.  Let me set the scene... when I first moved here my favorite toy was my brown mousie. He was my best friend, and I brought him with me everywhere around the house. Sometimes I would lose him and then I would be very sad. This little video was shot right after Mommy found him for me, and you can see how happy I was to have him back! 

I was kinda cute! MOL I hope you enjoyed my throwback today!

A Haven for Cats on Long Island - The Patricia H. Ladew Foundation

I’m sure it will be no surprise to our readers that when I attended Cat Camp in March my favorite spot was the adoption area. There were several shelters and rescues present, but I was particularly happy to see that the Patricia H. Ladew Foundation was there. I had been familiar with the Ladew Foundation for quite some time, receiving their newsletters and following them on Facebook, and I had been wanting to visit the sanctuary. I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Susan Whittred during Cat Camp who graciously invited me for a tour. 

Life at the sanctuary

The sanctuary is a very lovely, unassuming house situated on a residential street in Oyster Bay, NY. A caretaker lives in an apartment on the premises to make sure the daily needs of the cats are attended to. In addition to the caretaker, there are three full-time staff, three part-time staff and approximately 10 consistent volunteers, who are the cats’ family.

Throwback Thursday - Our First Nose Kiss!

Hello, and Happy Thursday! Today's throwback photos were taken about six weeks after I moved in.  I was lounging on the bed one day... 

It's Lexy's Seventh Gotcha Day!

Hello, everyone! This is Lexy and I’m here to tell you that today is a very special day. It’s my Gotcha Day! But like to refer to it as “the day my life changed forever." 

It’s actually a two-part day with the first being April 10. Seven years ago on April 10, 2010, Mother and I found each other. It was serendipitous if I do say so myself. By happenstance, Mother found herself in Petco in Nanuet, NY the same day I happened to be “on display” at an adoption event with Hudson Valley Humane Society. 

I quickly accepted my reign as Queen at the White House. 

Throwback Thursday - My not so Secret Hiding Place!

Hello, and Happy Thursday! Not long ago Mommy wrote a post that included some older photos of us. Our friends, Momma Kat and Her Bear Cat told us how much they loved one of the photos. Well, guess what? I was sitting on Mommy's lap last night while we were looking through some old files on the computer, and we found a little surprise! We thought Momma Kat and Bear would love to see them. 

Let me set the scene. When I first moved here, I didn't like when Lexy chased me, so I used to hide in the wall unit. This is usually how it went...

Lexy will never find me here.

We won a Certificate of Excellence from the Cat Writers Association!
