Tik Tok Frau Kitty

 Tik Tok Tik Tok

Seated at my office at work

Where I don’t come often anymore

Once a week, or so

The pandemic and so on

Working from home…

And the life, the life, it goes on

But for many, it stopped

It stopped for my beloved Frau Kitty

13 years ago, she came to my door

And she stayed, and I loved her so much

And for many more, the Covid patients,

And the accidents on the roads

One my bosses, this lady I had work for 18 years or so

Collapsed and her life hangs on the hands of destiny or God

Tik Tok Tik Tok

life goes on

but for many, don’t

Time is what never stops

It passes, all we can count on

Live while possible

While your clock still goes

Tik Tok Tik Tok

Frau Kitty, RIP my beautiful girl

American Dirt Controversy

I am halfway done with American Dirt and I think it is well researched, sure, there is a gringo vibe to it, but I sort of expected it...

I had NO idea how bad was the backlash, the author had to cancel the book tour!

A lot of blame goes to the publishers more than to the author really.

GBH News

Al Jazeera The Stream <- this one is feisty!

The Book Doctors (drives you crazy with the two 'doctors' speaking at once, but good points)

Oprah getting it!

American-Dirt-Frau-Kitty
Is Frau Kitty trying to censor the book too?

And I actually started with the author at Politics and Prose, a great YouTube channel, this is Jeanine Cummins herself on the book, her other books, etc.

I feel bad for the Latinx authors, but also for Jeanine Cummins! I think she really cares for immigrants, her webpage has resources to help them, and sadly, maybe the story had to be taken by a white lady to get more attention... so much to consider, but I am enjoying the book and of course will finish it!

51

Thank you to all my dear friends and family
who took time to wish me a happy birthday,
it was a relaxing day working from home.
I went for a little masked walk,
it was a beautiful sunny day.
Spend time with the cats,
and even managed to get vegan cupcakes.
51! & counting...
Thankful for another year on this wonderful planet.🎂
Still alive and healthy, living strange times
during this Covid-19 pandemic.

Peace, love, walks and books for 2018

I took the first little walk of the year.
Viva 2018, I hope for a year with more peace...
and peace of mind, to read books, and walks,
and do vegan outreach and just enjoy my little life.
Hope you have a lovely year too!

Walked to my mom's favorite little trail
aptly named Little Eden

Feliz Año Nuevo from Frau Kitty (and Herr Gato, he is somewhere else)

Cheers with green tea to 2018

Staying home

I have been sick for a couple of days
Diverticulitis
This weekend, I stayed home
Reading and spending time with the cats
And binge-watching TV
Little patio

National Feral Cat Day, October 16. Help a cat!

Today is National Feral Cat Day
#FeralCatDay
Please help today, and every day, a cat in need.
I have so many stories to share...
but the rescue of Lucky is the closest to my heart.
This feral or abandoned or stray cat that Herr Gato
brought home a while ago...
you can read the entire story I blogged some years ago
He lives happily now adopted by my two dear friends
Mione and Perro.

Please adopt and help a feral cat!
Here another story of that gorgeous silver tabby
who I was very lucky to find a home for!

so many words so little time

I miss blogging
between other social media posts
and so much work
I barely have time to write here anymore
but I miss it!
Today a picture of my big loves
Herr Gato and Frau Kitty

Adiós 2014

2014 was a great year even if...
I got whooping cough, missed so much work
still, I am thankful to be alive and well
Enjoying the last minutes of the year
with my mom visiting and resting at home
with my 2 bestests friends ever, Herr Gato and Frau Kitty
Frau Kitty and Herr Gato waiting for 2015, and some treats, mostly the treats
having learned about compassion & love for animals.
I got a 'new' look for 2015 too...
Shorter hair for 2015 so I can be even lazier!

I don't believe in new year's resolutions, but if I'd have to
I would like to:
Speak more for the farmed animals we eat,
so people can understand their pain and stop using them & eating them
Sleep more! I don't sleep as much I need to
Be healthier
Read more books!

Adios 2014, you were a great year.
Welcome 2015!

the Summer cats

the summer cats
die Sommerkatzen 
los gatos de verano

it's not the Summer just yet
but Herr Gato and Frau Kitty are ready for it!
Frau Kitty got her new Summer 2013 cardboard house
and she already doesn't want to get out of there
Herr Gato soothes himself from the fact of
not being able to fit in any house, by sunbathing
on a cardboard box on top of the lounging chair
(I know the sun is not bathing yet, but soon, it will...)

San Diego is sunnier than ever but not too hot yet
wonderful weather and enjoying the company
of these lovely felines!

"I am not leaving this sunny home ever!" ~Frau Kitty

"I wish I could fit in one of those houses..." ~Herr Gato

last week and today

today is rainy and cold
a day to stay indoors
chocolate cup in one hand
book on the other one
but oh yes, it was only two days
ago, when these cats
looked for the sliver of sun
on their catio
two days ago, was sunny and great
the weather, they meow, oh well!

Halloween

another American Halloween!
I like this dark holiday
I celebrate with my cats, and at work
and even better, this year, I watched
the original Halloween film
from 1978
spooky low budget film!
some pictures to share
Franken-Herr-Gato, grrrrr


Frau Kitty and the Little Witch:
"Please be my black cat tonight!",
"But I am a tuxedo cat, not a black cat!",
"It's OK, a half-black cat will do..."
