Pussy Problems: How a Kitty Taught This Crazy Cat Lady a Thing or Two About Guilt and Doing the Right Thing

July 18, 2020 Catherine Lyon Author/Writer Posts

He is not only ADORABLE but I can relate to this pussy….CAT STORY. LOL … I have 3 therapy cats and your little new one looks just like my Mr. Boots. Funny as some kitties seem to find there way to us and we get sucked right in!! When my Boots was that little ….he did the same darn thing and fall asleep in between my legs too!
He’s a KEEPER! Congrats.
CAT

Just Bacon.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve got a serious case of pussy in my pussy…

(Good Lord, no, I am NOT referring to anything sexual – get your head out of the gutter.)

Let me explain…

I recently adopted a gray domestic shorthair kitty and he enjoys napping in my crotch. (He doesn’t even move when I fart – now THAT’S true love…) He was only about five weeks old when my boyfriend found him getting beat up by a buncha older cats outside the post office.

Now: I lost my BFFE (Best Feline Friend Ever) about two months ago. Shmoopy was more than a best friend. She was more than a furry companion that made me laugh (oh but make me laugh she did…). You see, most cats love their owners, will show them some affection here and there, and then go about their day.

But with Shmoopy…

About The Author ~ Deena Rae Schoenfeldt of eBookBuilders.com

…..
Deena Rae was born and raised in Texas — home of bluebonnets, boots, beef, and big hair — into a family that was in the printing and publishing industries. Her father was a computer programmer for major newspapers when the equipment took up whole rooms and her mother has been a publisher for almost 30 years — trying, unsuccessfully, to bring her into the family business.

She was happily living her life, having three third-generation genetically perfected super-nerds herself, but then through a series of events (unfortunate and fortunate), she officially joined The Book Connection — her mother’s publishing and packaging company — as the Digital Director, to create the e-publishing division in 2011. Her computer skills, willingness to help authors, love of literature, no-nonsense attitude, and quick wit have helped shepherd many authors through the maze of digital publishing.

Through her work with E-BookBuilders, Deena Rae has been able to meet authors and writers from all over the world and in every genre imaginable. She has a biting wit, obscure sense of humor, awareness of the absurd, and a love of literature all which led to the creation of Bluebonnets, Bagpipes, and Books, the NSFW publishing discussion podcast she produced and hosted with Janet Wrenn and Peter Burnett.

Her no-nonsense attitude made for some hilarious discussions and plenty of “Oh my God, did she really just say that?” moments. That podcast led to the audio/video podcasts for Badass Book Society – Badass Books & Booze as well as Badass Pub. Sometimes it is as if there is no filter between her brain and her mouth. But if she likes you she tries to be nice — sometimes.

You can find her most hours of every day attached to her computer either researching, coding e-books or flowing print books for her fabulous friends/clients or chasing after the ‘world-famous’ Wee Bossy Baby who is now Wee Bossy Tyrant-In-Training.

How About We Destigmatize Those Who Are Homeless & Stop The Labeling. My Friend and Guest P. W. Robinson Has a Little Something to Share About Homelessness as I Do…

I am sharing here on Cat’s Reading a two-part post by an amazing guest and friend of mine who lives in California, in Oxnard in Ventura County. Kind of by Santa Barbra. I’ll share part-two tomorrow as I hope all of you will Remember …Not everyone will be having a ‘Happy 4th’ this holiday.

A (Virtual) Evening with the Author

June 30, 2020 Catherine Lyon Author/Writer Posts

Spend some literary time with my dear friend and fellow best-selling author, Joe Siccardi …Come attend this FREE Virtual Event and Evening with Joe as he shares about his books, writing, and much more! This Cat has reserved her SPOT. And looking forward to it. 😺😻🐾🖥💻📘📚

The Light

One of the fun things about being an author — at least for me — is spending time with small groups to talk about the writing/publishing process. Sure, I usually sprinkle in something about myself and certainly share the journey to my three published books.

I am most comfortable with small, intimate groups — five to 10 people — in a living room, but I’ve addressed bigger audiences at libraries and cafes. I like the smaller venues, though, because I feel a closer connection with the guests. I can interact with them more, answer probing questions they want to ask rather than inquiries I think they want answered. Typically, I’ll wrap up the Q & A session with book signings for anyone interested.

That actually was my 2020 plan as I criss-crossed the country visiting family and friends. And we all know what happened to 2020 plans.

Thankfully, we do…

Cat’s Literary Share …International Best-Selling Author, Darren Prince Shares Some Memoirs of Sports Icons, Legends, and Much More. “Two Kings”

……

Hello literary friends!

This week I am sharing my amazing friend, fellow advocate, and international best-selling author Darren Prince. Darren is a well-known sought after sport and celebrity agent for some of the most legendary former sports pros and iconic popular actors and actresses of our generation. With that aside, he also enjoys writing and sharing his many memoirs and stories about his journey and clients who always seem to become good friends.

Now, Cat is very honored to be helping Darren market his amazing book titled “Aiming High: How a Prominent Sports and Celebrity Agent Hit Bottom at the Top.” I enjoy book marketing for my friends who write and share their stories of addiction and recovery as well. But Darren’s book is so much more than a downfall. He has proven that no matter how successful you become, addiction will tag you out in a heartbeat! He and I know that Addiction Will Not Discriminate on who it will touch next, even successful people!

Moreover, his memoirs are incredible as he shares his own life falling apart. There could never be another “Smokin Joe Fraiser or another Muhammad Ali,” two icons while they boxed through the years, both had such a hate for each other …until they meet Darren! It was one of my favorite stories in his book. To learn more about who he represents, you can visit the Prince Marketing Group today!

I’m sharing a post and story by Darren did about “The Two Kings”…

It is from his Official Darren Prince – Work With Darren website…
Darren shares and explains the inside scoop while he was trying to stay clean from prescription drugs on his own but was still living in HELL while working for many high profile clients. Darren cares deeply about those still suffering in silence from opioids or other drugs as he had and show how he helps others today.

Reach out now as help is available. You can download a copy of his book on sale at My Book Orders … and now available as an audiobook too and listen free with a free Amazon Audible trial. Listen to how he fought to gain his life and career back and a much better life he is grateful for every day. He shows it by helping others through his new cause and founder of the Aiming High Foundation.

THE TWO KINGS…

I knew I had a problem with drugs because, at an early age when I took them, they helped me with my anxiety tremendously. The crazy thing is, as time went on, that same anxiety that went away from the drugs got so much worse, and then I was in my 20s, and although I thought they were working, I had some disastrous experiences working as a celebrity agent. The first one was with my biggest client Magic Johnson.

I’ll never forget being in Anaheim at the Convention Center, and I felt so sick, so nauseous. My stomach was so upset. I had heart palpitations, sweaty palms, hot flashes. And I said to him, I need to lie down. I’m literally lying down on the convention floor in the bathroom as Magic’s meeting and greeting with different fans. It’s humiliating, embarrassing, to say the least. I remember getting home that night, just being so disgusted at myself. How could this happen? How could I let it get this bad?

Then I had another experience, which was even worse. It was the biggest thrill of my professional career. I’m sitting center courtside with Muhammad Ali and Smokin’ Joe Frazier at the 2002 NBA All-Star game. I got these two kings together to make peace for the first time in over 35 years, and mate, I was high as a kite because I didn’t feel worthy of the situation.

My body also just couldn’t adapt to being in a situation just like that, that should have been so historic and so monumental. I only knew how to numb myself. And I completely didn’t enjoy the experience whatsoever, when I really should have just made it the greatest professional experience in my life.

And I tried to get sober for so many years at least two on my own, with the help of doctors, I would go on suboxone, I would come off of it, I would detox, I would have to go back on drugs. It was hell, pure hell. I was suicidal, miserable. Everybody around me knew how bad it was getting. They would say something to me, but I didn’t know what to do. I had nowhere to turn, and you know, looking back at it now, I wish I did it differently.

I work with Banyan Treatment Centers. They have 11 facilities in four different States. And if I knew of a Banyan, I would have taken the shortcut, I would have done it the right way and said to myself, “Check me in. I need help. Let me get my life back.” That’s all I ever wanted. Because of the way I did it, it took forever. It was years of heartache, years of just terrible, terrible withdrawal pains until I finally got sober on July 2nd, 2008.

So I’m trying to save you all the time and the heartache and the suicidal depression.

Call me directly at 888-6-Darren And let me try to help you get to Banyan Treatment Centers and get the help thing you need to have the life that you deserve.
