Cat Quotes 1:01


Curiosity got the cat.

How many times did I see Spot go exploring? Once he found a window screen leaning up against a wall. He just had to check it out. Bam! It fell on top of him and he ran. I never saw Sir Socks do a thing like that…

Women and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. —Robert A. Heinlein

After all the years I have lived with cats, I can say this is very true. Cats don’t care. They will do as they please. I have tried to tell Spot he should eat what he kills, but he never did it. As for women, I can say I am one and I will do as please. That’s why I write so much even though others tell me I should do something else instead of this hobby. I know they want me to have what they think is a real job without realizing how much work I actually do. They are not aware of how well my work is documented online for the world to see and how much it actually counts as real work.

We’re nearly ready to start the new year off with a whole new magazine and its first issue. There still aren’t many of us working on the staff and I think we’re doing fine for the few of us that are working. We don’t all live in the same places, so we can’t see each other in real life. But we are connected via the Internet.

Summary for December 2018:
no money in or out
over 671 hits on the blog
about 218 people get the posts emailed to them
20 people follow via WordPress
62 copies sold; US$435.04 raised for Dingo Venezia from Cat Tales of the Frisky9 Scarf Army

Articles I’ll Be Working On

We’re getting ready for our first official issue of this magazine in January 2019. That means we will transition from what we have been doing to getting ready for the first issue. I will of course write about the monthly financial report. If there’s no money going in and out, then I’ll mention that. I’ll also write about the number of views the site has, the number of email subscribers, and how well the Cat Tales books are doing.

Other articles I will be doing are cat facts, cat quotes, cat vocabulary and sharing my experiences with cats. Sir Socks may write some of these articles as well, but his main focus is his memoirs. The facts, quotes, and vocabulary will be coming from around the world as this magazine and the Cat Tales books are international. We don’t want to leave anyone out.

You readers are allowed to make comments and even suggestions on what you want us to write. We can’t guarantee we’ll write about your suggestions, but we will consider them.

Please enjoy this little magazine named after a shy, sweet, surly, and loyal cat I know well.
