Yeah, I know, I’ve been gone a while. I have two cat related excuses, however:

I have a new Zine out! This one is all about Cats. It’s big and its pink, and it has Marlene Danielle on the cover: 

This is the fourth issue of my zine, “Sale Into the 90s”. This issue is all about the musical “Cats”–but nothing about the 1998 movie because that’s been discussed to death. It mostly focuses on the history of the musical on Broadway, and my favorite items I’ve found online.

This zine will be bound together by my sewing machine. Images will be in black and white.

I need to also make volume 3 of the YouTube Favorites Zine too. I never promoted Volume 2 earlier this year. Oop.

The other cat related news is that I now I have a cat who keeps my very busy:

He decided it would be cool to get under my parents sunroom at 8 weeks old back on the 4th of July weekend and yell for help one night.

I didn’t know about Michael.

This wouldn’t fly in 2020. Nieman Marcus just selling designer cats for thousands of dollars. They don’t even look very unique.

Here, people get up n arms (or, paws) over misinformation about polydactyl cats.

I actually ran across this commercial the other day when I was thinking about doing an entry about cat commercials!

I had no clue that this silly column about taking the stitches out of Tickles the cat, would wind up being a religious column. I didn’t even notice the “Paper Pulpit” up top.

Finally, I didn’t now util recently that Kitty Litter was an actual name brand. I don’t think the brand is still being made anymore? 

oh! I have one more Cats article before I go:

Kenneth Ard tore the cartilage in his knee, has been out of the show for three weeks and will have to undergo microsurgery.Deborah Henry was accidentally dropped on her knee by two fellow dancers, has been out of the show for two weeks and is walking again with the aid of a cane.Stephen Hanan cracked a bone in his foot while jumping off a gangplank, and was out of the show for three weeks.Marlene Danielle got a hernia from her nightly routine of being dragged along the floor and thrown over another dancer’s back.

I think Marlene got that hernia during the scene where Demeter jumps on Macavity who is dressed like Old Doot after he captures Old Doot. 

Old Doot.
