Blogging Chapter Ends...New Books Begin
"Bye KittyLiterate. It's been fun."
Wow. I can't believe it's been almost five months since I took the persona of KittyLitterate to blog for Petside.com. And what a joyous ride it's been! (And I don't use exclamation points lightly.)
"At last...some peace," Sinead says. "No more cameras in our faces."
During this time, I've met some of the nicest cat people (oh, okay, and dog people) around, rubbed whiskers with countless lovable puddies, and had the pleasure of writing about all things cat...a promise I made at the outset and kept. There are about 80 blogs in the archives you can re-read when you need a laugh. I even donned a wig and red suit to play Santa Claws (and had my beard chewed on and my stomach stuffing gnawed and kneaded in the bargain.)
Still, I must say, I had the best time ever, and the blogs are proof.
"Can I open my eyes, yet?" asks Angela.
I also got to introduce Petside readers to three of the most adorable puddies in my world, to wit: the sweet and wise Angela, rough and tumble, McDuff, and Sineady-cat, the "fraidy" cat. I hope you enjoyed their stories as much as I enjoyed bringing them to you.
"I've gotten several calls from Hollywood already, thanks to Petside.com" says McDuff.
I know.... I know.... Quit the soft-soap, and get to the meat of it. Okay, so at the end of this year, I learned.... Oh, you don't really want do know...do you?
Okay, I'll quit the kibitzing. Some books KittyLiterate proposed have come through. So now I have to hang up my blogging hat and write them. There. I've said it. It's out.
"Finally," says Angela.
Still, you haven't heard the last of me. When time allows, I'll be writing features for Petside.com. And in May, when my new book, PURR MORE, HISS LESS, is released, I hope to preview it on the Petside.
So, that's a wrap. I want to thank the Petside group for the opportunity, my search engine, Dara Tyson, and all the people who offered their stories and their support, as well as everyone who read, commented on, and followed my blog. You guys are great.
All the best,
KittyLitterate, Angela, McDuff and Sinead signing off.
KittyLitterate signing off...."So long, and good knight."

It's been very entertaining and I'll miss reading your blog, Ms. Literate! But I'm sure I'll be seeing you around the shelter- because I know you can't stay away from the kitties!

It's such a CATastrophe that you're leaving. But then again ... there is that new cat book to look forward to. Can't wait to read more from you, KittyLiterate!

Sad to see KittyLiterate go. The blogs were fun. I loved their stories. Very amused by Angela - McDuff is a little scary - who was that masked woman

I'm soooooooo sorry to see you go! I've enjoyed reading your blogs, especially on days I needed to smile and remember that I'm thankful I'm a cat owner.
Good luck in whatever you do and "congratulations!" to the next lucky group that gets to enjoy your humor and writing!!!

I looked forward to kittyliterate's blog and was quite disappointed that it's no longer here. I will miss it and look for it again. Those darlings were so lovable even though they were in the charge of the masked woman - oh lord - what a cadre - mia madre -
ps - bye kitty - here kitty kitty
