Firing Up the Base!

Are you planning to throw some charcoals on the fire this
Labor Day weekend for one final barbecue of the summer?

Here, in always sizzling Houston, I am laboring behind the scenes, working on my talk for the official launch of Cat Lady Chronicles on September 15. I hear that the Museum of Fine Arts is expecting a lively crowd, and why should I be surprised?

Something tells me that I won’t need to fire up the base just two weeks from tomorrow. Nor will I require a warm-up act or a keynote speaker. Put simply, we Cat Ladies are passionate about our pets, and we like to cheer on our fellow feline enthusiasts. I am eager to share my personal story.

To get a sneak peek of Cat Lady Chronicles, now listed as a “Hot Release” on Amazon, click here and look inside the book:http://www.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/5045

Query of the Day: Don’t you agree that cat ladies are hot?

Fifty Shades of Grey...Tabby

If only..., if only I had been clever enough to capitalize on the shades of grey that envelop me at Catland.

Listen up Lydia, L.B., and T.J.: You three are exotic grey tabbies, and you weren't looking out for your Cat Lady.

Why didn't at least one of you coerce me into changing the title of my forthcoming book to incorporate even a touch of grey?

That's not to say that my Cat Lady Chronicles (please preorder today; www.amazon.com/) is lacking in the lust department. Perhaps I should change the book description: "A Cat Lady meets a wandering tomcat who seduces a sex kitten, and the rest is cat-world history."

Query of the Day: How about Ten Tails of Grey, and One Cat Lady?

Stimulus Package

Although Lucius et al. never require appetite stimulants, sometimes our cats respond more excitedly to certain foods than to others. At the moment, Fancy Feast’s “Gravy Lovers” canned cat food is doing the job.


Each 3-oz. can is packed with morsels of chicken, beef, turkey, or seafood floating in a sea of gravy. Our cats salivate when they see me open the pantry door and bring out their new and favorite stimulus packages.


Query of the Day: What stimulates your cats’ appetites?
