Sophie breaks the curse!

-
Something awesome occurred to me the other day.   I should end this blog right here, right?

Shut up.

No, seriously, this is important.

Sophie broke the curse!

What curse, you ask?

Bear with me as I explain this one.

Tyler, my first and best cat, lived with me for just about 14 of his 15+ years.

Tiger, my second cat, lived with me for just over 4 years.  To be exact, just 6 days shy of 4 and a quarter years.

His successor, Jackson, lived with me for exactly the same amount of time.  Just 6 days shy of 4 and a quarter years.

Notice a pattern?  I call it a curse.

Why the fuck did that happen?  Coincidence?  Russian hacking?  Some strange conspiracy?  I think not.  Whatever strange thing caused both Tiger and Jackson to cross the Rainbow Bridge after precisely the same amount of time with me will forever baffle me.  Whatever caused it, it was not enough time. It never is, is it?

Until Sophie, that is.  Sophie, as of this writing, has lived with me for 4 years, three months, and 3 days!



That's what I mean when I say that SOPHIE BROKE THE CURSE!

Not only is Sophie the boss, the alpha cat, and Tyler's successor in every way possible, she is now the cat who has lived with me for the longest amount of time after Tyler.

Thank you Sophie, I knew I could count on you.  Here's hoping for many many more curse free years together.

That day of days.   I was working at the time at BAM: the Brooklyn Academy of Music.  Even then it was what a former girlfriend referred to as “hipster doofus.”  BAM is a Brooklyn performing arts institution.  Modern dance, modern arts, from what I understand they put on great shows.  I did see Pete Townshend there once.  I, however, can't dance. I look like I’m making wine when I dance. STOMP STOMP STOMP.  It isn't pretty.  The rest of the area had yet to become the hip downtown Brooklyn it has since become.  I grew up walking distance to the Cyclone, so I remember the REAL Brooklyn. I remember the real bagels and the real bialys.  Do you all know what a bialy is? The Barclays Center?  Nope, it was a parking lot at the time. 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!
