Going to the vet is never easy for my cats – or me! Getting Lola and Lexy into their carriers is a trying experience for all three of us, not to mention exiting the carriers when it’s time for them to be examined. Lola will (usually) come out willingly and greet everyone, but not Lexy. When it’s her turn to be examined I have to dismantle the carrier, and then put it back together before she can go back in. By the time our vet visit is over all three of us are ready for a nap!
I had been eyeing the Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed for some time and when I had the opportunity to partner with Sleepypod for a review, this cat mom was happy!
Hello, and Happy Tuesday! You know how some people say that Disneyland is the Happiest Place on Earth? Well, not for Mommy! Can you guess what place is happier than Disneyland for her? Go ahead... take a guess... OK, never mind, I'll just tell you! It's Tabby's Place! We've blogged about Tabby's several times, and in case you've missed any of the posts you can see them all right here.
This past July, when I attended Matilda’s Annual Celebration & Cat Fashion Show at the Algonquin Hotel in Manhattan, I was introduced to Dennis Scheyer, Creative Director/Marketing for Cat Sushi. The conversation took a familiar course with questions such as “where are you from?”, etc. It turns out Dennis lived in Queens, NY (where I live) for many years, and lo and behold, we are from the same hometown – Rockland County, NY. Not many people know of Rockland County, and to meet someone who was also raised there is a rarity. We immediately had a connection, talking about the old days and how neighborhoods have changed. And of course, being at a cat event, the conversation turned to felines and Cat Sushi (which was in our goody bags.)

Trust me when I tell you this was a big deal back then! Here are Lexy and me looking out of the living room window.
Today I am so pleased to bring to you a guest post by Wai-Lin Terry, Founder & Publisher of Kitty Karma Books. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you already know that rescue is a topic near and dear to my heart because the stars of this blog, Lola and Lexy, are two rescued cats who changed my life. When Wai-Lin contacted me about her book I was more than happy to spread the word. The first phase of her Indiegogo Campaign ends on 10/31/17, but you still have time to check out her pawtastic perks. I, for one, cannot wait to read this book. As an author and a cat advociate, I wish Wai-Lin much success with her project. Dawn

“They say cats choose us, we don’t choose them. I believe that cats, with their nine lives and their super-fine senses, are able to see things beyond this world and are more wired to divine will than we humans are. We can ignore a cat’s blessing and beckoning, but at our peril. I learned these lessons from adopting one special calico cat. I thought I rescued this little feline, but in the end, it was she who rescued me.” That’s how the closing chapter of Kitty Karma: Big Stories of the Small Cats Who Change Our Lives begins. (More about the book in a moment.) It’s my account of the calico beauty who adopted me. Kealani taught me much during the years she graced my life. Her lessons included a tour through the depths of despair, after she suffered a heart attack and died right in front of me.
Lola: Hello, and Happy Sunday! Lexy and I have very special selfies for you today. Our dear friend Phoebe, of 15 And Meowing, sent her very cool sunglasses for a tour around the country to several kitty bloggers. Lexy and I thought we were too late to sign up for the tour and were SO surprised when we received her shades from our pals Eastside Cats! So, without further ado, here are our selfies!
Hi, I'm Lola! I went from dumpster kitty to princess and I lived the best life ever! I made my journey to the Rainbow Bridge on 1/16/24. I was always passionate about rescue and animal welfare and giving all animals the best life they deserve. I was an author, too! You can buy a copy of my book below. My sister, Lexy, and my Mom continue the blog. Welcome!
