About Me

My photo
I am a retired RN with 50 years of experience. My experience spans ICU, ER, Telemetry, Administrative Supervision and Clinical Documentation Integrity. I grew up on a farm in Western Pennsylvania. I didn't have other children close by to play with, so animals became my friends. Although I love and enjoy all animals, cats have always been my favorite. I have lived in Southern California since 1980. My husband and I are coexisting with Fanny. She is the DIVA that inspired my book and this blog. I hope you enjoy reading about my feline friends. I also share some childhood memories which may spark some memories of your own.

Hi. My Name Is Fanny

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I posted. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. Over the fall and winter I was recovering from back surgery, so the holidays were quiet for us. But thankfully I am great now and getting back into my routines.

Today's post is about Fanny's book. Fanny told a heartfelt story about herself. Not only about herself but about her relationship with two other cats that were in her new household.

Fanny was brought in as a stray kitten and she made friends with Mutch and CC quickly. Fanny was the youngest so she had to follow the rules of the others.....well, sometimes.

Mutchka died of old age (18) when Fanny was about 2 1/2 years old. So then, she became super close to CC.

CC was the queen of the house. Fanny ate when CC asked for food. I don't remember Fanny ever asking for food on her own.  She just followed whatever CC did. 

CC was older and sometimes Fanny bugged her.....I should say drove her crazy!

Eventually CC's health declined and she had to be put to sleep when she was 20 years old. She had end-stage kidney failure. Fanny was lost without CC. They had been together for over 16 years.

If you have read some of my other posts you'll see that Fanny has been dealing with depression and sadness. An emotion that us humans feel when we lose a loved one.

I hope you can take a few minutes and get the book on Amazon and read the sweet story yourself.

 Fanny's Veterinarian (who took care of CC as well) loved the book and said it was a great story for all ages. She read it to her children and she said they all cried together.

It's free to read with Kindle Unlimited.

The book has lots of photos of all three of the cats to go along with the story


See you next time.  Feel free to leave comments
