Cat Wings

When cyber bullies, pre-menstrual syndrome and a killer hangover get the Cat Lady of Parkdale down in the dumps, she tries to think up various new cat word combinations to google image search to give her some much needed comfort.  This morning, still mangled from the stupid amount of vodka i consumed last night due to party nerves, I thought of CAT WINGS, and was overwhelmingly happy-fied by the amazing results this new search yielded.

My mom used to read Emmy and I the Cat Wings books by fellow space-lez Ursula K LeGuin when we were little!  They were the best!

When I finally moved out of my folks house I took this book and propped it up on my make-up stand to celebrate my new-found independence.  It is adorable.  

But the best part of my search was that I discovered that cat wings really do exist!!!!!!

WHAAAAT?!?!  Who's an angel-cat?  

Kitties "began sprouting bumps on their backs, which later turned into wing-like growths, during a recent spell of hot weather in China's Sichuan province."

"One cat owner, known only as Feng, claims her cat Tom's wings are a result of stress after he was 'harassed' by females looking to mate.

'At first, they were just two bumps, but they started to grow quickly, and after a month there were two wings,' she told Huashang News. 'Many female cats in heat came to harass him, and then the wings started to grow.'" 

Poor Tom!!!  It's hard out there for a pimp.  Now he can just fly far far away when the overly aggressive girl cats stress him out by demanding commitment too early in the relationship!

I guess too many girl cats were tryina mack on this angel kitten too, and who could blame them?  Cat wings pictured with a human who is almost as adorable.  

Meow! I'm Lost! Help!

Please help find this poor little sweetie!

The Adventures of Erin Oh in Cat Land

I know an enchanting young damsel by the name of Erin Oh, who spent the winter soulstice traversing the lands far and wide.  On her journey she came across a variety of cat friends.

I love cat friends of friends.  May I present to you:

LEO - a postmodern love story in three acts.

A tale/tail of courtly love, and the triumph of the spirit over adversity

of intrigue, passion and wheat coloured fur.

Buy a round for me and I'll tell you the tale of the trials and triumphs of Leo, a cream makeral tabby from the mean streets of Pittsburgh. From his devestatingly dark days at the Pittsburgh humane society and cruel owners who "just didn't want him anymore", to the dazzling high life he now leads in the home of Erin's mom, spending his days reclining resplendent on crocheted orange pillows that perfectly complement his fluff, and... of course, that heady day that he met her...  

PS: "FREE WHEATY!"

Walter!

Parkdale + Cats + Books = Heaven.

The River Trading Company opened up in Parkdale this summer.  This was amazing in itself because I had previously been hauling ass to the Annex to buy my crumbling old paperback Agatha Christie's.  Books!

1418 Queen St. West

 I was dumbfounded with delight when I drunkenly stumbled past the new store one night and saw a pretty silver tabby baby sleeping on his princely pillow in the window.

I did a little research and found out that the owner of this store, David McGowan, took this stray sweetie in to live in the store, and named him Walter!

Some people say cats and dogs don't belong in retail stores due to potential customer allergies, but to those people I say : don't be dumb!  These angels are way more important than your sniffles!  If you can't take a Claritin, go to Chapters!

Steph and I went to visit Walter and found him cuddled up in all his Christmas glory!

 He just loves sleeping in his sleigh on his red quilt with his angry bonnetted baby and sweatered teddy!   

i've got squinty little eyes and a big furry head from my rough life on the streets until i got this sweet bookstore position. 

I love my baby.

Sickest xmas window display i've ever seen.

Happy Holidays Walter!  I hope Santa Claws brings you a big fat cat nip blunt and a can of wet food.

Queen of the Window Cats!

Remember when I met this window Kitty on Queen West?

Well my friend/famous photog/artiste extraordinaire Emily Gove got this gorgeous picture of her!

too beautiful for words.  At Queen West near Dovercourt.
