What's mew with you?

Hello Friends,

Mamma went to Pennsylvania yesterday and came home smelling like other cats!

What is this all about??

She went to a CAT CAFE, can you believe this?

Now, most of you already know, our mamma once owned a beautiful cafe, and now she went to someone else's awesome establishment - and they have cats there! Cats in a cafe! Isn't that wonderful?

Mewow Cafe in Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Interior cafe seating - they serve local coffee.

They sell cat themed gift items!

Mamma fell in love with this cutie immediately.

If you are ever in Pennsylvania, you will have to check it out: Mewow Cafe

The owner has partnered with Kitty Junction and offers visitors the chance to meet adoptable kitties that need a home! Isn't that purr-fect?

Mamma even bought us each a toy from the cafe, and a really cute t-shirt for herself. 😹
The cats are in a window enclosed room separated from the cafe dining area.

How did she ever find out about this great place? Well, our lovely Aunt Jules moved over a year ago to Doylestown, Pennsylvania and she is the creator/owner/writer of "For the Love of Doylestown" - for Facebook and Instagram users, follow her @fortheloveofdoylestown to view her beautiful photographs of Doylestown and learn all about the town.

We had a good week indeed, not just because mamma bought us new toys, but because we enjoyed sun puddling, had multiple visits from Grigio, received lots of cuddles, took lots of naps, and ate lots of treats.

We do like our sun puddle time.

We sure hope your week ahead is filled with equal parts of affection and laughter.

Purr & Paw,
-Stivali.🐾

Oh, how I adore napping!

Happy You're Ours Day, Stivali!

Yesterday marked eight years since I arrived on the scene and met Stray Cat and my mamma.

I like to rest a lot.

My best Taylor Swift pose: "Girl at home"!

I am very grateful that mamma decided to keep me. I know I am not the most affectionate cat she has cared for, but I do love her very much and appreciate all the food, treats, warm blankets, and affection she gives to me. 💘💘

This December, tell your loved ones you love them. Give with a grateful heart that you are able. Provide for those who need you (if you are looking for a charity, we highly recommend giving warmth to homeless pets at St Hubert's, Tabby's Place, and North Shore Animal League - and if you don't have a pet to honor in your contribution, please consider honoring our beloved Stray Cat. Thank you!). 

Stay Warm,

-Stivali. 

Are we ready yet?

My ma went to visit Pixie again at Tabby's Place. She absolutely loves that little girl.  She came home smelling like 86 different cats, and I kept crying for her attention all night long.

Here are her photos from her visit: 

On her way home, ma stopped at the September 11th memorial in town and saw this beautiful memory rock. 

And when she pulled into the driveway of our home, she was greeted by a gladiolus which must have been planted by a bird - - - she and I both think the stone and the flower are signs from heaven.

Is it time yet? Are we ready? No amount of time erases the memory of Stray Cat, but are we ready to give a different cat a new home and a healthy, happy, loving new life?

Mamma went on Tabby's Place's website to review the kitties and cats who are available there for adoption. Interestingly enough, there were quite a few she did not meet or see during her visit that day.  One of which was named "Suzy" - a childhood nicname of my ma's.  Was this yet another sign?

Should we call and see if Suzy is still available for adoption? Are we ready?

I was found by ma's friend in a parking lot of a mall in Florida.

Stray Cat found ma - and chose her.

Kismet was found by ma's friend.

Cleo was a stray that chose her too.

So.  Will there be a message from heaven, a kitty that will just show up at our door? Or will we have to go out and find our next kitty?

Is it time? Are we ready yet?

Thank you for reading, and let us know what you think - how did you know when it was time?

We are acting like a little kid in the backseat taking a road trip with his parents, repeatedly asking, "Are we there yet?".

Purr & Paw,
-Stivali.
