Y’all. We can’t even. Did you see this year’s Halloween parade theme? MEOW !!! Are you kiddddddding meeee?!?!?!?! This honestly might be one of the best Halloween parades ever.

Out of the shadows and onto the lamplit streets, we are on the prowl.

We would gladly have remained aloof – poised and peaceful among the houseplants on the windowsill or stretched out among the books scattered on the daybed.

But we have heard the call, and the time has come to mark our territory. We didn’t ask for this fight, but when feline honor is at stake, Cats and Ladies will rise (…after a languorous stretch) to meet the moment.

Though we may prize our solitude, we are not alone. Yes, prone to our quirks, fiercely defensive of our arcane habits and eccentric delights, we think outside (and sometimes inside) the box. As we peer amusedly from behind our curtains, we know there is a hidden Cat Lady in everyone, just waiting come out. Notwithstanding the rabble-rousers in our ranks – from Eartha Kitt to Margaret Atwood to Pussy Riot – we mostly keep our reveries to ourselves; we do our own thing, in our own way.
