What is there to say about her?

Looks like someone had too much Halloween candy…

October Financial Report
Monthly Financial Report for Sir Socks Le Chat—a magazine of cat tales
October 2018
Date
10/11/2018 Donation $100.00
10/11/2018 gofundme fee $3.20
10/12/2018 Wordpress $96.00
10/13/2018 Donation $25.00
10/14/2018 Donation $25.00
10/14/2018 gofundme fee $1.03
10/15/2018 staff $49.77
As you can see, our financial report for our first month isn’t so great. We had just enough to pay for the webhosting from WordPress and to pay the staff a little bit. We had a gofundme account which has yielded two out of the three donations. The third one came directly via PayPal. We did have an online auction at 32auctions.com which yielded nothing at all.
We do have an option to sell ad space, but we need at least 100,000 views per month. This month we’ve had less than 300 views. So, we need to increase the traffic to the site to activate this financial option.
I realize this is just the first month, so perhaps the donations are low due to being unknown and untried. We’ll see how it goes next month to see if our donations increase enough to pay the staff, contributors, and featured monthly charities.
And hopefully, the traffic to the site will increase well as we post more content.
Trio
All three of us again…with Spot obscuring my face with his tail…
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween from Julius! What are you and your feline friend going as this Halloween? Stay safe, and remember, black cats are in fact very good luck!
There Were Three of Us…
For one year, there were three of us cats living with my girl…
The Next Day
Inspired by Sir Socks…
poem from Honoring the Cats in My Life
I got up the next morning
and saw Socks
half sitting,
half standing
on the porch.
I opened the door
to let him in.
He said, “Meow, meow, meow, meow.”
I said, “Oh, did you come home last night
and I didn’t open the door for you?” I was asleep
and the window was closed.
I never heard him,
but he was quite upset with me.
Later that night,
I woke up feeling
two pressures on me.
One was against the top of my head—
it was the kitten
cuddling up to the hairiest
part of my body
as he would if he was
still with his biological mother.
The other pressure
was on my right arm.
I opened my eyes
and there was Socks
staring at me.
I went back to sleep.
Missing Socks
Inspired by Sir Socks…
poem from Honoring the Cats in My Life
You are my first cat;
Nothing can change that fact.
I didn’t know much of cats
before you.
I gave you lots of love and attention—
like you wanted and asked.
I gave you good food
to keep you strong and healthy.
I gave you a little cat companion
to keep you company while I’m away.
I’m sorry if the kitten drove you crazy—
you were with him for a whole month.
I let you out because you wanted to go.
Now, I haven’t seen you and
I miss you terribly.
I wish you would come back home.
I miss your quietness.
I miss you watching me.
I miss you cuddling up to me,
lying on my stomach.
I miss your jumping on my furniture.
I miss you clawing my couch.
I miss you twitching your whiskers.
I miss you eating your food.
I miss watching you bath yourself.
I miss your yellow eyes, your mostly black hair.
Socki, I want to see you again.
I miss your meows.
I’m sure you can take care of yourself.
You were once an indoor/outdoor cat.
You could come and go as you pleased.
I wouldn’t mind setting that kind of arrangement
up for you.
I don’t know where you are, but
please come back to me.
The kitten misses you, too.
I’ll leave some catnip for you.
I hope you’re alright.
I hope you’re exploring the neighborhood.
I hope you’re enjoying your solitude—
You did need it after raising a kitten.
I hope you’re eating.
Please come home, Socki, I miss you.
My life is not the same without you.
When will you come back?
Hanging Out With My Girl
What can I say? I love my girl…
A royal message
Happy Thursday, everyone! This is Emperor Julius checking in. I am looking forward to sharing my escapades with you in the coming months. I have many stories to share, including recollections of my adventures at the vet, dealing with the difficulties of being a regal feline, my attempts to steal food from my humans, and more. I also have some questions for you, dear followers. What kind of stories do you want to hear from me? What do you want my tales to focus on?
