Adiós mi Herr Gato

Diciembre 19 del 2022.

Mi Herr Gato se fué de este mundo físico,

pero no de mi corazón.

Gracias por compartir tu vida conmigo

y por tantas aventuras.

¡Nos veremos pronto!

Te adoro  😻

Moby's Porcelain gets Pawpproved by Literary Gato

Herr Gato's love for literature emerges, or in this case,
rests again. His known love for books favors now
the open, funny, and truly wonderful Moby's memoir
Porcelain.
Moby, the electronic musician, who I love and respect
not only for his music but for his vegan life, and mostly
because he is just a really really good human being.
One of my first electronic music albums was Moby's Ambient.
I still have my CD! All beat up, I exchanged it in Mexico City
at El Museo del Chopo, where Mexican goth kids used to NOT
buy music but exchange it. I still play it a lot.
Follow Herr Gato's recommendation and read Moby's Porcelain.
And get ALL his albums, you will smile, knowing that
there is people like Moby out there.

Check this link for other books favored by the Literary Gato

Herr Gato loves Moby's book, because he knows Moby truly loves animals

After the 1st photo, he curled even more over Moby's book

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

Close to my heart

I keep my cats close to my heart
Every day, all the time
Love you Frau Kitty und Herr Gato

I cannot believe it took me this long

to post something on the blog...

13 days, but here...

Herr Gato & the long stair.

This year, this year,

you, 2017.

The long stair

Stairway to cat heaven

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!

and the silver tabby!

Bernie and Hillary

#FeelTheBern
I am NOT into politics,
because I think most politicians are crooks
& that the political system is controlled by a few rich people
but then Bernie Sanders appeared,
and suddenly, there is hope...

I watched the Democratic debate last night
against my better judgement,
but then again I am a registered Democrat
and I am ready for Hillary Clinton to be our next president
or even better... Bernie Sanders, I am really liking this man!
Bernie Sanders on him not being a billionaire and not
part of the Casino Capitalism, please watch this!

My favorite parts of this debate (thank you YouTube)
Hillary on paid-leave, women's rights, & Planned Parenthood
(thank you for mentioning Planned Parenthood Hillary!)
A must watch!
And the political Gato, Herr Gato, makes a comeback,
he meows: is OK to vote this time, but only for Bernie or Hillary

Literary Gato Strikes Again: Morrissey

Herr Gato has a great taste in books!
He picks distinguished yet unusual authors
His latest choice is Morrissey's Autobiography.
A superb read where the iconic singer
and brilliant, compassionate man
writes with no rules and complete honesty,
as he lives his live: no chapters, no index,
strangely and deliciously long paragraphs
that begin making you want to cry, laugh by the 3rd sentence
 and cry again. As artful as his songs!

Morrissey protects and speaks for animals, Herr Gato knows it and thanks Moz.

As have chronicled before, Herr Gato has chosen authors
such as Kate Chopin and her book The Awakening
and legendary Paul Bowles and his Let It Come Down
Herr Gato gas gone as far as reaching Furry Nirvana
with Buddhism classic Autobiography of a Yogi
by Paramhansa Yogananda.

Herr Gato likes feminists banned books, great!

Herr Gato loves dark bleak set in Morocco novel!

Reaching Nirvana, the furry way

Oh I love you my Herr Gato, who arrived from a dusty alley
to teach me with your superb literary choices,
yet no doubt, Morrissey's pick is the closest to my heart.

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

Frau Kitty a bit afraid after her dentist ordeal, has 2 teeth less!

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

the Sunday cats

Herr Gato prefers a more classic position

their soundtrack
Kurt Vile's Wakin' On A Pretty Day

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!

Frau Kitty and Herr Gato last week, looking for the sun
