Guest post: June in October
When is a post that’s not about Tabby’s Place actually, in fact, about Tabby’s Place? When it’s about the Tabby’s Place cat who didn’t quite become a Tabby’s Place cat…for the best possible reason.

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.
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.
Certain creatures have been known to hide. Naked mole rats. Slow lorises. Scared cats. Scared humans.
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.
Every once in a while, someone comes along who steals your heart in about 2 seconds, and you know you’ll never be the same again. Sometimes that someone is a tiny 4-week-old kitten.
Fire up those neurons, because I’m about to say something profound: Everyone is different.
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.
Eras end. Chapters close. But sometimes we just can’t brace ourselves for the turn of the page.
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.
