Epilogues: July 2013

Epilogues: July 2013

footloose4We tell a lot of stories on Felis Catus, but we can’t often tell the whole story. In the epic novel of a cat’s life, I can give you just a page here, an illustration there. Such is the nature of such a blog.

At times this may make you feel like you’re watching a movie with a plot like this: Frodo and Samwise are nearing the tip of Mt. Doom, the very center of the fiery Eye of Sauron, when suddenly…Kevin Bacon teaches a whole town to fight for its right to dance!

Not a bad movie, actually. But a little jarring.

Hobbes is the most interesting cat in Suite FIV. "I don't always get ringworm, but when I do, it's repeatedly and intractably. Stay fungal, my friends."

Starting here and now, on the first Friday of every month, we’ll be wrapping up some loose ends here on the blog. Think of it as our answer to People‘s “Passages” page, with 100% less Kardashian.

Watch this space for future details on all these doings. Now, don’t just stand there: go forth and have a rip-snorting stellar weekend. The cats insist.

Tink is back like neon and Boyz II Men.

  1. Love this Friday update – this way we get to know all the comings and goings and (try to) keep up with the fuzzies! I am THRILLED that Hobbes is back and can’t wait for him to fall asleep in my arms again. AND – I get to cuddle Dre and Jean Valjean — can’t wait!!! I hope my Edward doesn’t get mad at me…looks like a batch of catnip is in the near future!!!

  2. I’m beginning to notice that naming new kitties are now taking on themes. Being a geeky guy with an engineering degree, I therefore propose naming cats from (what else?) Star Trek.

    If you want to name them after the Captains of the various series, you have three names for males – Kirk, Picard and Sisco, and one for a female – Janeway.

    If you want to name them for those from the original series – there are plenty of names for males – Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty and Sulu, and at least a couple for females – (Nurse) Chapel and Uhura.

    I leave it to those of you at TP to find names from the other series of Star Trek. I pretty much stopped following it after The Next Generation series.

  3. Thank you – thank you! What a stellar idea (Spock already has my heart before he has even arrived) and hopeful happy ever after for sure this time for Dazzle!

  4. I fully support this kind of update! Please do continue!

    Also, very happy to see that Ebony has moved on to HOME. She has so much to offer… in her own sassy way.
