Bashful's Twin!




Well, after the outpouring of support for my first post...I've been a little shy in writing.




But, my find last night was so good that I just had to share.




While searching petfinder.com for cats in my area (just for fun, Tracy won't let me get another one :-( , I found a beautiful cat named Maxine. She is a long-haired Calico and is located at the Animal Shelter just blocks from my house. AND, I'm convinced she's probably Bashful's daughter or perhaps even grand-daughter (Bashful's getting up there in age!). Take a look at the pics...crazy resemblance, huh? Guess which one is which :-)




I might have to go visit her, maybe I'll take Bashful...

It's only fitting...How this blog got started

I have to give credit where credit is due.

Yesterday, I was showing my extensive photo collection of my cat (on my phone) to a coworker. He knows that I am obsessed with my cat, but even he couldn't believe the amount of cat pictures I have, or how in LOVE I am with each one.

Me: "There she is on the couch, oh, there's another one on the couch. This one's after her bath. Look how CUTE she is!!! Oh, big yawn for a little kitty! Look at her pretty face!"
Matt: "Oh my goodness. You ARE the crazy cat lady. You should start a blog called Crazy Cat Lady and talk all about your cat."

Welllll, that gave me an idea. So I checked blogspot, and unfortunately, there already IS a crazycatlady (who hasn't used her blog since 2003!). So, I was bummed that the name was already taken.

At almost the same minute, another coworker walked by. We explained the situation to him. His response was: "you're probably way crazier than that crazy cat lady, register your blog under craziercatlady."

Lucky for me, that name was open, and here we are today!

Look for more posts to come...lots more about my cat (You don't even know her name yet!), books I've read, and my addiction to crafting. Sound like I'm 80? Try 28!
