Happy Birthday Tyler!

-
Tyler would have been 16 today.  I never knew his actual birthday, but since I adopted him on December 9th and they said he was 1 1/2 years old, I made June 9, 1999 his birthday.

This is an especially tough day as Jackson, Tyler's last roommate, is fighting for his life with kidney and urethra ailments.

Happy Birthday old man, I love you and miss you more than you can possibly know.  Please look after Jackson, he always looked up to you.

What was I doing there you might ask?  At the time I still thought I could make a career out of working in Museums.  The truth ...

  That’s right, dear readers….. I started a podcast about cats! Shelter cats. Stray cats. Feral cats. Colony cats. My cats. Your cats. Rescue cats! Cats! Noticing a theme here? An avid podcast listener of a variety of topics, I didn’t realize how ridiculously easy, and low budget in terms of start-up costs, to actually get one off the ground. Thank you Spotify podcaster app! So, please follow my brand new, low-budget, strictly amateur  Shelter Cats  podcast. Shelter Cats Podcast I’ll be posting a new episode every  Sunday,  although I may get that out earlier depending on how I like the results. Episode 1 is already live!
