Meet the Neighbors, episode two

Mister Sam's human housemates have just released this swell picture -- isn't he handsome? Looks like one of his human housemates was squeezing him a bit, ouch! Well, I am sure Sam-o took it in stride. The path to international fame is rarely smooth, eh Sammie? Give the boy some catnip!

HHs, thanks for sharing.
With a kit-cat cheerie-bye on this Summer's day,

Our New Favorite Black Cat Bling

See! Newly-received black cat brooch from totally swell people! Wearing this pin helps us to feel connected to our black (and non-black) kitties wherever we roam. Fondness and fashion in one go -- it's so cheering!

Thank you very much, swell people.
 Cheers,
Trix

Meet the Neighbors, episode one

We live near a really cool cat named Sam. Sometimes -- lucky us -- we have the honor and pleasure of visiting with Sam-o and filling his beautiful hand-thrown ceramic food bowl. If Mister Sam-Sam is in a really good mood, after supper he even sticks around to play various floor-based games (the names and precise rules of which are written in obscure BlackCat dialect which we are still attempting to master; please check back later for translation).

At left you can see a picture from a recent Sammy Playdate, after which everyone was exhausted but very happy. We look forward to our next playdate with The Big S-cat.

Gotta luv these Black Cats!!!!!
Until the next post, felicitations and meows to all,
xo, Dustin

Who Wants to Be a Star?

Do you know any tea-drinking cats (or non-tea-drinking cats) who want to be poster children for The Black Cat Tea Room? Please send us their particulars such as the name of your kitty, gender, age, and anything else fun we ought to know -- such as their favorie tea; and a JPEG image (we can edit it for size, no worries); and how you would like the credit to be written... Looking forward to seeing pretty kitty faces in the pipeline real soon. No money will change hands, this is for fame and glory only  =^..^=

Sitting down with our very own Prince Rupert (a former foundling) for late-evening tea and a chat (ha ha, that IS a play on words -- chat as in discussion, chat as in French for cat... oh never mind),

Upping the Ante

Did you know that a black cat is far less likely to be adopted from a shelter or pound? Sad, but oh so true... and if a black cat also is a tea drinker, well! The deck is stacked so far against this feline that we can barely bear to think about it.

Please help us find homes for all of the tea-drinking chats noirs... merçi! Contact your local black cat rescue (or regular kitty haven) today. Our mascot (whose teacup is just out of the picture frame) thanks you, too.


Best wishes for a tea-filled Fourth with the kitties you love,
xo, Trixie
