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.
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Space Cats
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?”
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: The Cool Kids
“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 […]
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Mr. Tumnus Among Us
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. Therein, temptations may come in the forms of dangling belts and ties. Comfort comes from the presence of soft […]
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: The Fairy Tail
Her name is Nola, not Lola (Lola lives in Medical with Angelo, but hers is another story). Nola is not a showgirl. She’s a Tabby’s Place cat. Yellow feathers are present only as accessories to cat toys. She refuses to wear any dresses no matter where they are cut down to. Neither will she merengue […]
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Black Friday
It may be Black Friday (in the US, at least), and there may be a lot of attention on bloated tummies and massive sales. Not at Tabby’s Place (except maybe the slightest loosening of waistbands). Fridays are days, just like every day, for focusing attention on cats. The FIV+ crew think they deserve extra special […]
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Boxcars
Six years after Hunterdon County became my home, Tabby’s Place opened its doors on the site of a formerly-abandoned cornfield situated just six miles from our house. Six years ago, I answered the call and signed on to volunteer at that sanctuary, helping to continue the realization of an amazing vision. Six weeks ago, we […]
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Read the Room
Have you ever entered a quiet room, started talking, looked around, and felt like you wanted to crawl into a hole and hide? Have you ever had someone else walk into a room and miss all of the clues about what is going on? Have you ever walked into a room, sensed a situation, and […]
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: My Heroes
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. Sure, my heroes […]
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: That Moment When
Since the Quinn’s Corner expansion has led to a very necessary increase in the volunteer population at Tabby’s Place, it has been recognized that many of us volunteers have few opportunities to get to know each other well. There are special events, but there needed to be more ways to bring this ever-growing, changing group […]
