The Catmage Chronicles
Andy thought he was going crazy when a talking cat showed up at his front door. He couldn’t have been more wrong.Goldeneyes is a Catmage – a cat with human intelligence and magical abilities. Andy is an eighth grader who is smart, impulsive, and trying to avoid the school bully at all costs. A prophecy threw them together. There’s just one problem: Goldeneyes can’t stand humans.The Catmage world is heading toward war. Goldeneyes and Andy must try to stop the enemy from getting stronger. And they must save a powerful Catmage who’s been kidnapped. For Goldeneyes, it’s personal. That Catmage is her grandmother.Andy and Goldeneyes must try to put aside their differences. If they can’t, the enemy will soon be too powerful to defeat…

Herschel, my heart goes out to you.
So does mine.
Herschel, min ha-shamayim tenuham — may you be consoled from Heaven.
Oh, Hershel.
We have them for so little, and they give so much.
Thank you all for your kind words!
Chico was a 19 1/2 year old “apple head” Siamese, and was doing great until just a week ago.
This pic was taken just a year ago.
These little katzas are wonderful, but they sure leave a hole in your heart when their time is up.
That was exactly the age my Siamese, Katie, lived to. Anyway, many condolences from me and Satchel and Newton J. Kat.
My heart goes out to you.
Shady-my faux Russian blue-went to the rainbow Bridge in May.
He was 11 and I miss him terribly still.
Purr-ayers and headbutts from Sasha Kitty and Sheldy the kitten.
It’s heartbreaking to lose the kitties. You have some consolation that Chico had a nice long life. I had the opportunity to live with an “apple head” Siamese some time ago, they are beautiful cats. My heart goes out to you too.
