After 18 months, City Kitties is back! I suspended posting mostly because Verizon charged me too much money (yes, 20 cents is too much for me. I'm a graduate student... at CUNY no less, ok!?!) to email myself the pictures of kitties that I was taking with my prehistoric cell phone, but I have since gotten Metro PCS (unlimited texting!) so I can take and post as many kitty pics as I want.
City Kitties is all about the kitties I happen by while going about my business in my city, New York. Some of them are strays, others live in stores, and some are friends' or other people's pets. I didn't have any particular goal when I began the blog in 2008; I just noticed that I had a lot of pictures of random cats I had seen on my cell phone and an acquaintance suggested I make a blog. However, since then I think my blog's mission is to promote adoption of pets from animal shelters. I adopted both of my cats, Scribble and Doodle, from the New York City shelter in East Harlem. I understand that some people are against kill shelters, but I like the idea of really saving an animal. I love my cats so much; they are just as great, if not better, than any cat I could have found in a pet store.
Blog posts used to be written in the voice of the cat, but I found it to be difficult to create a new personality each time. It was also a little too dorky (though I will admit, a blog about stray cats is definitely weird) so posts from now on will just me written from my own standpoint.
I'm definitely looking forward to meeting more cats around the city. On the rare occasions that I get to travel elsewhere, I will include kitties from other cities!
