This summer I learned the proprietress of Le Grenier, Maya, got an unexpected visitor in the way of the orange and white tabby you see at left. She wrote:
Hi — wondering if any of you North Brooklyners have seen signs for a missing orange cat?
One has just appeared in my garden and she’s definitely a lost family pet — very friendly, cuddly and charming, clean and seems to have been well fed / cared for.
I’m giving her food, water & friendly ministrations but am not sure how long she’ll stay back there (no clue how she even got in, it’s completely enclosed) and I can’t bring her inside (our Galileo is FeLV+) so I’m hoping to track down her owners quickly.
I helped to spread the word but, alas, no one came forward. No worries: yesterday, as I discovered, she has a new home— and a job! I wrote to Maya:
I got some lovely photos of her today. She pranced along the window mewing at me the whole time (didn’t capture that but I thought you’d like to know she is keeping a very watchful eye over your business!). Very cute. Plan on posting a few pix tomorrow!
To wit Maya replied:
After posting signs everywhere and calling local vets for many weeks, with no reply I of course decided to keep her (my friends have officially dubbed me The Crazy Cat Lady)… Her name is AmiCat…
AmiCat watches.
And watches.
And when AmiCat deduced that yours truly was neither a threat nor a food giver she proceeded to ignore me. Such is the life of a pampered pussy— and quite frankly I am envious.
But when Maya is in the house, well, it’s another story altogether. READ: naptime!

It would appear that Vacate Order— while curiously absent from the front door— is still in effect at Coco66.
Hmm…

P.S.: It would appear Coco66’s lack of a Place of Assembly permit has not gone unnoticed as well.

I’ve been trying to capture this kitty for some time.
But as you can see this lass is more interested in patrolling her domain than looking pretty for the camera.
And of course there’s the matter of getting head scratches.
However…
after hissing at a bipedal passerby…
she seemed much more amenable.

Headed home after a particularly festive Halloween or business as usual? I’ll leave it to you, dear readers, to make the call. Speaking for myself I find it rather impressive that this chap is not wearing any tights. It’s chilly out there!

This items comes from my friend at the Greenpoint Reformed Church, Ann Kansfield. She writes:
Hey Heather,I have a favor to ask…We’re starting a queer friendly youth group at the church, and we need some help getting the word out. It’s open to everyone, and I’m hoping that you might help us reach teens who are looking for such a group. I’ve attached a flier, and it’s posted on the church website at http://greenpointchurch.org/archives/224. Feel free to put a shout out that we’re an LGBT-affirming church. Also, I’m more than happy to be a supportive clergy-person to anyone who might be struggling with matters of faith.
