Dinner Take Two…sort of (2 of 3)
Readers, you might recall the last time I saw M___ he was making off with “my” Szechuan broccoli in garlic sauce (with brown rice). Before his great escape we’d made plans for dinner for the coming Sunday at 6pm. Well, … Continue reading

What’s In a Name
“It should be ‘I Have A Cat’ ” “We don’t have cats, they have us.” “Don’t you have more than one cat?” It seems the name of this blog has a few people scratching their heads (or ears?). Let me … Continue reading

Of Meals and Men (1 of 3)
Is my love of good food so intense it could sabotage a potential relationship? Sure it sounds ridiculous, but a recent dating experience led me to examine the connection between man, woman and food. I met M___, a single lawyer … Continue reading
Somebody’s Watching Me
“I think someone is spying on you,” said my creative director D____, as she tossed the Barney’s New York 2010 Fall Catalog on my desk. We’d just spent lot of together shooting in LA and my love of cats was … Continue reading
Clueless in Manhattan
I’m not an avid “Curb Your Enthusiasm” fan, but I’ve enjoyed quite a few episodes. So when I heard Jeff Garlin and Susie Essman were the headliners at “Unleash Yourself! A Night of Comedy to Benefit the ASPCA” I bought … Continue reading
I Have (Fat) Cat
If you follow I HAVE CAT on facebook you know Petie had his annual check-up recently after being a year overdue. I’d been dragging my feet because the last time I took him in he weighed 18lbs and I was … Continue reading
Irish Eyes Are Smiling
WARNING: This post is not about cats and has no greater meaning. But, there are gratuitous hot guy pictures. You have been warned. Proceed with caution. I’ve never been a boy-crazy kind of girl. Not unless you count my mild … Continue reading
Father of the Cat Lady (s)
I know I’m a day late for a Fathers Day posting but hoping you’ll cut me some slack as I did spend it with my Daddy! My sister and I were fortunate enough to spend the weekend with … Continue reading
Gone to the Dogs
I’d been eagerly awaiting Friday night all week and not just because it meant a few days off and seeing my daddy for Fathers Day. I’ve long been saying I have to get my self out of my comfort zone and … Continue reading

Apart(men)t
Knowingly or not, we all start with a wish-list. In a safe neighborhood, close to work, southern light, hardwood floors, a full bath with tub, maybe a small study. A patio would be nice, but it’s gotta be under $1,700 … Continue reading
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
In honor of Mother’s Day I am re-posting an entry from November 5th, 2009 titled “Catastrophic Thinking,”about how having cats in my life has given me a small taste of motherhood. ************************* Doctor Wagner rips the top page from her prescription … Continue reading
Is She The One?
As some of you know I have two cats – Petie and Kip – and a rotating foster. Truth be told, my foster has been more static than rotating of late. Little Haddie girl has been with me for quite … Continue reading

Expecting
My friend J___ holds Hollywood accountable for her singleton status. She believes movies like “Sleepless in Seattle,” “16 Candles” and “Serendipity” ruined her life. These films gave her comfort that love was hiding just around the corner and would reveal … Continue reading

Up In The Air
Thanks to the worldwide information highway (had to get that in there!) I’ve had the pleasure of “meeting” pet-loving bloggers like Daniela Caride of “The Daily Tail.” On her recent trip back home to Brazil she was actually inspired (by … Continue reading

Comments Off on Up In The Air
Late nights. Celebrity. Intrigue.
Yes, I speak of BlogPaws 2010. My friends encouraged me, dare I say some even admired me, for spending a weekend (in Ohio) with strangers. I “knew” a few people from the internet but only by name – or cat’s … Continue reading
They Walk Among Us
Today’s post is written by a colleague of mine who has the distinct pleasure of sitting next to me at work. Patrick’s a single 30-something year old living in NYC – without cats (for now). ************** When I first met Tamar she … Continue reading
Covering the (Cat) Art Beat
When I received an email invitation out of the blue asking if I’d attend some sort of cat art party I was surprised and suspicious (what exactly was this and what did they want from me). But having just returned from at blogging … Continue reading
Holy Cat, People Magazine Interviews Me!
Actually PeoplePets interviews me – even better! Paris and Heidi hide your pups because it’s time for I HAVE CAT (s)! They wanted a picture of me with Kip and Petie, but for better or worse, I realized I didn’t … Continue reading
Cat’s Pee on a Gooseberry Bush
Normally I don’t write diary-like of-the-moment entries but tonight I couldn’t help myself. I hope you will indulge me. Not so long-ago in a failed attempt to meet single men, I took a wine-tasting course (refer to “Felines and Valentines”). … Continue reading
