About Me, Him and the Cats

My Background

I was born and raised on Long Island, NY in a middle-class suburb. I attended your typical “cliquey” highschool and hated almost every minute of it. I couldn’t wait to get away. I went to Canisius College in Buffalo, NY, as a Digital Media Art major and learned really fast what “lake effect” snow meant. I knew after graduation I didn’t want to live with my parents, and I couldn’t afford to live anywhere in the NYC area. Besides, by that point, I had already been dating Tony for a year and didn’t want to leave him. We eventually found jobs and an apartment in a suburb of Rochester, NY. It was hard not living in the fast-paced, everything at your fingertips, world of Long Island. It took me a few years to grow accustomed to more of a country lifestyle. I do go back from time to time to visit family but by the end of my visit, I am longing to be back home in my slower-paced life. We purchased our first home in 2015. I am employed at a local commercial printing company.

In the Fall/Winter we spend Sundays watching football and going to Buffalo Bills games (we are season ticket holders). With that said, we tailgate at the stadium a lot. For 1 pm games we are in the parking lot by 6:15 to start cooking breakfast! As it gets later in the season we have to layer up more and more – the windchill makes it pretty darn cold at the Stadium! Speaking of the cold, I suffer from Raynauds so my hands and feet are always cold – even in the summer. We are also huge Buffalo Sabres fans and try to go to the arena as often as we can but it gets pretty expensive so we only go to a few games each year.

About the cats

Harley – We have had him since he was a kitten in the fall of 2005. A friend of the family had a stray cat give birth under their deck and wanted to make sure all the kittens went to good homes. Harley was the runt of the litter and from what we have heard, he grew up to be the tallest, longest, heaviest of the bunch! In 2019 Harley was diagnosed with Kidney Disease. He is on prescription medication and requires special food. He gets a urinalysis and blood work done every 6th months.

🌈Jewel🌈– We adopted her when Harley was about 3. Jewel and had been abandoned on the side of the road in a box with another adult cat and a BUNCH of kittens. They were all taken in by a wonderful foster family who got them all healthy, and when the time came, adopted them out through Petsmart. Jewel was a feisty calico who liked to keep the boy kitties in line. We take our cats for their yearly exams, and once they are seniors, they go every 6 months for senior wellness checks. Jewel had some gastric issues starting in 2017 that we were monitoring but since she was a senior girl, they didn’t want to do exploratory surgery to see if it was cancer. We closely monitored the situation and tried to make her as comfortable as possible in her last few months. Sadly we lost Jewel to Kidney Disease and suspected cancer on February 19, 2018.

Oliver– Fall of 2011 we kept seeing a little kitty outside chasing (and catching) birds. We assumed he was a neighbors outdoor kitty and let him be. By December we had talked to everyone around us and they said he was a stray – that they thought was *ours*. He was in our yard every day and the weather was dropping below zero at night. New Years’ Eve we FINALLY coaxed him inside. He had a gnarly gash on his hip and was so cold. We took him to the vet and tried to find an owner but never did. We had fallen in love and couldn’t leave him at an already overcrowded shelter. He has been with us ever since. Oliver loves to cuddle, play, and eat.
