Happy Blogoversary

I could hardly believe it when I realized May 28th is my 5th year Blogoversary. I can honestly say when I started this blog I had no idea I would still be at it five years later. I started the blog to promote the book Housecat Confidential that I wrote in the voice of my beloved grannycat Fin but I found so much more. I thought it would be so unique - obviously I hadn't gotten around the blogosphere much. Turned out there were lots of funny and amazing cats out there (with human staff). 

After a couple of months of lurking about we started to make some friends. I was delighted and shocked when new friends found our little blog and made themselves at home here. Me and my girl thought of so many things to say over the years. The blog brought us closer together and made me enjoy all the moments we shared together. 

When my beautiful girl got sick I worried I might never find the strength to continue. I even announced Fin's retirement and I think I would have let it all go then... but you all stayed. You offered love and comfort at a time I needed it most. I've said it before - I say it again - animal lovers are the best people. 

Now I have my gentle Quill and my bossy Greyson. My two sweet boys who we love so much. I hope you love them too... because we love your being here. You are the reason we still exist here on the H.C. and for that we are very grateful! Please accept my e-hugs and e-scritches as a symbol of our deep appreciation and affection. 

To my Finny - you were my muse, and you were my heart - and you found a way to give it back to me after you were gone. Thanks for sending the boys!

  1. Happy Blogoversary. You started blogging right before I did with Sweet Praline. I'm still blogging, even if it is with a new blog for Truffle and Brulee. I enjoy following your blog.

  2. Yours is one of our favorite blogs. I started blogging on 9/27/09, but had been reading for a while before that and am pretty sure I was already reading your blog when I started. We miss Finny too, not as much as you, of course, but she was a real favorite of ours. Now we are getting to love the antics of Quill and Greyson too. Congarats on 5 years of your blog!

  13. Happy Blogoversary to you! We do enjoy following your boys' antics. We started following you after Fin passed, but we very much understand the pain of losing a special pet. Keep it up!

  17. We never knew Fin but are quite fond of Quill and Greyson. Our mom started a blog because she wanted to write a book about all of us, but she has a short attention span. She hoped the blogging would fill her need and it has. Like you, she didn't have any idea how many cat blogs were already out there. But she loves each and every one that she reads. Happy Blogoversary. We hope we're still around in five years! Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette

  34. Sorry we're a bit late to the Blogoversary celebration! You know we loved Finny so much and we considered her one of our very best furriends.

    We adore Quill and Greyson so we know for sure that Fin had a big paw in sending them both to you.

    xoxo Cory and family
