As of today, I am an author without a cat. Can't believe Thor left us this afternoon. Who am I going to talk to all day while the kids are at school? Who will I bounce my ideas off of. Who is going to sit at my side and purr and wink at me? Who will I pet? Idk Picture taken this morning.

Beautiful tuxedo cat looking gentlema-like with white paws crossed, lounding on a white body pillow, looking at the camera.

My cat, Thor God of Thunder Potector of Asgard, has been sick this week vomiting bile and a UTI. He's on the mend now. We knew it was bad when he let us bathe him. He's 9.5 years old. When we first got him, he was 3 and had somehealth issues the SPCA did not disclose. He's a good boy #cats

Remember the children Protect the Children. Keep Maya in your thoughts and prayers. One of the heroes of Tubmer Ridges lays in a coma in Vancouver. She locked the door to the library and was shot in the head and neck. 12 years old. Remember those who do not have a chance to grow up.
