The second Cat Thursday of each month is Authors and Cats Thursday. Each time I will feature an author (with a birthday during the month), pictured with their/a cat(s), or guest posts by cat loving authors who also (sometimes) write about cats.
First, I want to apologize for missing Cat Thursday last week. On Wednesday night, I was stricken with cellulitis again and I was very sick. Needless to say, I couldn't leave the bed, or function at all through the body aches, chills, and then fever. I'm better now. Antibiotics doing their good work. Glad to be back!
