TCP Sneak Peek Day 3: Cats? Really?

Hello there inky friends!  I'm joining my fellow Cat's Pajamas teamies in today's sneaky-peek extravaganza to share an outrageous Cat card featuring the stamp/die/BUNDLE set "Good Meowing".  I'm not a cat lover, but I won't pass up a chance to get some cats inky.  LOL...

So you may think "OH MY!" when you see this card, but please hear me out...there is a story behind it!  LOL.  This is a funny card, or so I say...


You see, there once was this elderly cat lady that lived down the street from my grandparents.  She was very quiet, kept to herself, her kitties and her flower garden.  She was a mumbler too...If you tried to say hello, she would mumble to herself and would not acknowledge you.  While I yearned to visit with this mysterious lady of cats, I knew that she wanted her distance, so I just carried on with observing...


When I was a kid, I thought she had MILLIONS of cats.  They strolled in, they strolled out and they had the run of the neighborhood but always found their way back to the Cat Lady's house.  As I grew older, she would walk through town to the local grocery store to shop for kitty food.  She dragged this wire cart through town with her kitty food in tow.  Mrs. Cat Lady had bowls and bowls of food everywhere.  


This little card is what my minds eye sees when I think of her.  I imagine she had some big floral wall paper on her walls because she just loved her flowers.  I bet she had photos all over her walls of her precious kitties as they were everywhere, of course.

When the card is opened, the final kitty...cleaning her nether region is proudly propped up...along with a sweet sentiment...For that crazy cat lady!  

So here's to the Cat Lady around the corner from Grandma and Grandpa's house... Her memory, and her kitty collection will forever remain!  

Thanks for hopping over today.  I'll be back tomorrow for another sneak...and I promise it won't be as gaudy as this card is!  LOL.

  5. Your story made me chuckle! My grandson once asked me if I was a cat person or a dog person. I probably lean to the dog side but he ❤️ cats! He got a new kitty for his 10th birthday. Great card with lots of fun details!
