Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Waning and Waxing
As the year wanes, fading into the shortest days, we reflect on what has passed. At the same time, looking toward the new year, we look forward to the promise of another beginning.

Bear with me a moment, please. I’m trying to wrap my mind around an idea. I asked for it. Literally. Only, what to do with it now that I have been thusly gifted, from my spouse’s own lips, with “Space Cats?”
“The Cool Kids” is a concept that has yielded frustration among school children of all ages across the ages, especially those looking for a lunch table. It also has provided the name of a sitcom and of a hip hop duo. Perhaps, “The Alright Kids” would be more apt. “Cool” kids are no better or […]
Stepping inside a wardrobe is an action generally reserved for only the smallest among humans (Quite a squeeze!). For a house cat, a wardrobe can be an entire fantasy land in the shape of an armoire.

It is no secret that my biggest heroes include our very own Jonathan and Sharon Rosenberg. Counted along with them are my husband, my boss, all the staff at Tabby’s Place, and the many, many volunteers who work with me or at different times, on similar or different shifts…you get the drift.
