The Shopkeeper Cats of new Orleans, and I’m Back in the Bay Area!

A big hand-waving hi from sunny Novato, California!

Haaay! I’m back at home in the Bay after my birthday trip to new Orleans, and our frequently scheduled charm bloggery will resume on Monday.

As you can probably imagine, my tabby employer was overjoyed to have his assistant back. He was so overjoyed, in fact, that he barely lifted a paw in protest when I said that I planned to showcase a couple much more of the cat pals I made in NOLA.

As it turns out, working as a shopkeeper cat is one of the most profitable feline gigs available in the city.

This particular white, orange and gray charm models for a local art gallery…

A woman working next door said about her — and I quote — “That cat is a monster!”

I didn’t believe it because she was purr-fectly professional during our interaction. She even let me pet her paw when I poked into the gallery.

I also chilled with this dainty diva, who worked at a competing local gallery down the street…

I told her that I loved her sense of style (you can’t go wrong with black satin and bling), and she rewarded me with headbutts and purrs.

I had a blast networking with NOLA’s very talented company kitties.

OK…that was a completely crazy cat lady thing to say, LOL!

In other news, I’m glad to be home! I love traveling and exploring new places, but nothing compares to sleeping in your own cat hair-covered bed.

Your friendly neighborhood charm addict,
