Cats

I love cats. I have always loved cats. And I have lived most of my life with at least one cat, often times many more.

One of my earliest memories involves cats. When I was about 3 or so, our family had an orange tabby cat, Kitty George. I remember scooping kitty kibble out of a bag to fill his bowl and thinking that if he liked it, it must be good (3 year old logic, what can I say?). I remember putting a few pieces in my mouth and two things seemed to happen at once: My mother appeared as if from nowhere fussing at me for eating cat food and I came to the very quick realization that kibble was NOT TASTY. Even half a century later I have a visceral memory of stale fishiness. Gah!

I am currently a cat lady without cats, which is a weird situation. The last time I was catless was back in the late 1980s. I have faith that the Cat Distribution System will kick in gear before long and I'll soon have another cat (or 2 or 3 or more!) in my life.

An emporium is a large store that sells a variety of merchandise. Well, I'm not selling anything but I do have links for you to all things CAT. This is my CAT-porium, as it were. Below you will find links to art, cross stitch patterns, fun stuff and personal sites, all having to do with cats. Meow!
