Epilogues: September 2013
It has come. October. But before we can properly begin the month of Tabby’s Place’s 10th anniversary and our 1st Halloween in three years without a major natural disaster, we’ve got some ‘splaining to do about September.
Gourdy guys
You know it’s autumn when you suddenly see galumphing hordes of gourds. Gourds at roadside stands. Gourds in the supermarket. Gourds in disturbingly-perfect centerpieces on Pinterest. Gourds in Suite FIV.
Out of hiding
Certain creatures have been known to hide. Naked mole rats. Slow lorises. Scared cats. Scared humans.
The long awakening
No two creatures wake up in exactly the same way. Beatrice yawns and stretches for 5-10 minutes before she can properly be called “awake.” Sinatra goes from coma to “I’ve just had 45 espressos” in 3 seconds. But this wide variation is equally true of the waking soul.

Fire up those neurons, because I’m about to say something profound: Everyone is different.
Guest blog: Sinatra of the South
Surgeon general’s warning: if you have an allergy to happiness, warm fuzzies and/or having your faith in humanity restored, you may want to avert your eyes from the following.
Forever loved: Mittens
Eras end. Chapters close. But sometimes we just can’t brace ourselves for the turn of the page.
Epilogues: August 2013
August has left the building. This means it’s time to put away your hot summer fashions, like the classic black knee socks with cargo shorts and Birkenstocks (a look only recommended if you’re a male over age 85 and shaped like Grimace). It also means it’s time for our monthly recap.
The swans
We humans are a fragile bunch. A day that starts in sunshine can take a sinister swerve for something as small as That Look from the boss, or a shirt that makes you look all muffin-toppy, or a replay of the MTV VMAs on the morning news. Cats have no such vulnerabilities.
Friday I’m in love: Paco update
When do you love a cat even more after he leaves Tabby’s Place? When he’s Paco the hero, that’s when.
