A Month Called Josie

The cat-rescue group of which I am a member, the Lethbridge PAW Society, of Lethbridge, Alberta, is publishing a calendar for 2015. This will be the third calendar we’ve done. The second’s sales were better than the first’s; in fact, the calendar sold out. We are hoping to equal that result this year.

As in the past, the calendar features cats who were rescued by PAW and then adopted. The photography, for the second year, is courtesy of Tanya Plonka, of Puppy Love Pet Photography. She has generously donated her time and talents to the PAW calendar, and, thanks to her, it will show twelve of the lucky felines taken into loving homes.

One of those cats is mine. The calendar for this year (published last year) features Tungsten, my first and oldest. The new calendar will display Josie’s almost-smiling face. My Chubs is eleven this year, and hasn’t really changed in appearance much since I brought her into my home at the end of 2008. She may have gained some weight…

These are the photographs taken of the Great White. The one I’ve chosen to use in the calendar is at the end. This is my Josie, who purrs these days more often, more readily and more loudly than ever before. Perhaps she likes being a photographer’s model...
